當前，我國外語教育領域正在進行著全面而深入的改革。 改革的內容涉及到外語教育的方針政策、基本理念、基本原則、教育文化、教育實施、教育評價等各個方面，也關係到新世紀億萬學生的成長和可持續發展。 隨著課改新理念、語言新方針和教育新策略的確定及課改的逐步推開，教師培訓工作的重要性和關鍵作用變得越來越突出。 從某種意義上說，課改能否最終獲得成功，取決於廣大教師對課改的認識、取決於他們的語言理論水平和實際工作能力。

對英語教師來說，新一輪的課改提出了許多新的理念和原則：強調學習者的個性發展...

The Same Meaning Can Be Expressed in a Variety of WaysOne of the problems with the above view is the fact is that we can saythe same thing in many different ways. For example, if we wanted a win-dow closed, we could give a direct command: "Close the window！" Orwe could do so less directly by asking "Could you please close the win-dow？" However, under other circumstances, we might choose to be quiteindirect by saying "I feel cold" or "It's cold in here." The way we choose tomake this request depends on the person to whom we are talking, theimportance of the request, and even our mood at the time （social mes-sages）. The point is that at the same time that we share referential mean-ings, such as information about our knowledge or desires, we also sendvital social messages. The two occur together inseparably in personal con-versations. It is next to impossible to send one kind of message withoutthe other.

There are very few situations in which referential meaning is para-mount with little variation tolerated. An exceptional example of this isthe exchange that takes place between an air traffic controller and a pilot.In this case, variation is not possible and basic information exchange isof the essence. On the other hand, we sometimes use language only forsocial purposes with little exchange of information. For example, whenEnglish speakers ask "How are you？" they don't really want to know theanswer in detail. In most conversations, we send both referential andsocial messages at the same time, with the social side often being some-what more important.

There is much more to language differences than mere dissimilaritiesin pronunciation, grammar, and vocabulary. Communication is governedby rules that specify such things as who can participate, what the socialrelationships are, what subjects can be discussed, who initiates the con-versation, how turns are taken, who chooses the form of address, and soforth. All these vary from one speech community to another jus……
