By analyzing the current situation of motivation problems for English majors in Ningbo Dahongying University, the author puts forward some suggestions on strengthening learners＇ motivation with a view to developing the learners＇ autonomous learning abilities. The author finds that using the content of regular college classroom teaching as a meaningful context for the development of responsibility can enhance the learning effect. The teacher＇s guiding role in autonomous learning should never be ignored.展开更多

In the higher vocational colleges, obstetrics and gynecology department is a subject of strong theory and practice, which has a higher requirement for students＇ autonomous learning and ability to independently solve and analyze the problems. And it applies to the higher vocational obstetrics and gynecology subject teaching, which conforms to the refornl and development of clinical teaching in obstetrics and gynecology, and it is good for cultivating the medical talents suitable for social need with high quality and strong practice ability.展开更多

As a concept originally coined in the field of psychology, metacognition has been extensively discussed in second language acquistion field, because increasingly more researchers point to the significant role learners＇ metacognition plays in their language learning. However, as a psychological concept, many teachers feel metacognition is a rather elusive concept for them to concretize in everyday pedagogy. To shed light on classroom teaching, this paper deciphers this concept to our language teachers. It mainly focuses on the constructs of metacognition, the development of this concept in language learning area, and the practice of implementing metacognitive instruction in language classrooms.展开更多
