有效运用信息交流技术提高外语学习效果浅探

当今社会,技术日新月异,彻底改变着经济、社会、政治和文化生活,也极大地影响着教育。那么,如何充分利用新技术为教学服务,已经成为当今教育工作者研究的一个重要课题。长期以来,技术只是作为一种辅助工具使用于教学中,对它的研究没有上升到教学法的角度。因此,它在外语教学中的巨大作用远远没有被开发和有效利用。本文旨在探讨如何有效利用信息交流技术（ICT）,极大地丰富教学和学习过程,使它更好地为教学对象服务,提高外语学习效果。     

Youth Between State and Rebel (Dis)Orders: Contesting Legitimacy from Below in Sub-Sahara Africa

Abstract

The Sahel has gained attention in international politics as one of the central theatres in the war on terrorism. International actors in this war seek alliances with states in the region, reinforcing the latter’s military strength and their legitimacy from outside. At the same time, increasingly-connected young populations question the legitimacy of their states, and contest that legitimacy from within and below. In the absence of states delivering any reasonable form of social contract, young people become torn between different governing orders and find themselves in a liminal space. In this article we present the cases of youth in Mali and Chad, who find themselves in a period of re-definition of their position in society and hence search for legitimate structures representation. In this search they may frame their belonging in terms of ethnicity, religion or political opposition – and increasingly also in adherence to global citizenship. New information flows and connectivity among young people in these regions, and between them and the diaspora, has given a new turn to their search for citizenship/belonging and rightful representation. However, whether their search will be successful in this geopolitical context is questionable.
