Multimedia is not any one thing but a complex entity that incolves many things: hardware, software, and the interface where they meet. But we have forgotten the most important thing multimedia involved: you! Yes, indeed, with multimedia, you don’t have to be a passive recipient: you can control. You can interact. You can make it do what you want it to do. This means you can tailor a multimedia presentation to your own needs. You can cut through the chaff and dig directly into the important data in a report; you can pull together reports and video clips from around the world that interest you. That is the strength of multimedia and what distinguishes it from traditional media like books and television.

第十六届中国日报社“21世纪杯”全国英语演讲比赛章程

中国日报社“21世纪杯”全国英语演讲比赛由中国日报社主办、21世纪英文报系承办。自1996年创办以来，大赛作为每年5月在英国伦敦举行的国际英语演讲比赛的中国区选拔赛，获胜者将代表中国在国际舞台上展示中国青年学子的风貌。中央电视台知名双语节目主持人刘欣、芮成钢等均曾作为大赛获胜者参加国际比赛荣获大奖。多年来，作为国内档次最高的英语学习竞赛，大赛已在北京、上海、广州等大陆主要城市及香港和澳门巡回举行，并得到国际权威英语教学和考试机构的大力支持和高度重视，英国国际英语联合会(ESU)、美国世界英语教师协会(TESOL)、美国教育考试服务中心(ETS)、英国大使馆文化教育处等都是大赛的长期合作伙伴。同时，大赛还得到了国家相关部委、企事业单位、新闻媒体等社会各界的广泛关注和支持。国家教育部、国务院新闻办公室、北京奥组委等机构均曾有领导亲临比赛现场，并为获奖选手颁奖。

第十六届中国日报社“21世纪杯”全国英语演讲比赛由中国日报社主办、21世纪英文报系承办、国际英语联合会、美国世界英语教师协会、美国教育考试服务中心、英国广播公司、澳大利亚语言中心、澳门理工学院、香港城市大学等机构协办。为使更多在校大学生有机会参与比赛，第十六届中国日报社“21世纪杯”全国英语演讲比赛于2010年5月13日启动，面向全国高校本、专科在校学生举行。本届比赛赛区划分如下：北京赛区、天津赛区、河北赛区、山西赛区、浙江赛区、上海赛区、四川赛区、重庆赛区、辽宁赛区、吉林赛区、黑龙江赛区、陕西赛区、福建赛区、广东赛区、广西赛区、湖南赛区、湖北赛区、河南赛区、山东赛区、江苏赛区、其他赛区(含除上述地区外的中国大陆所有其他省/直辖市/自治区)。比赛全程将分三个阶段：(1)互联网选拔赛/校园选拔赛(2010年5月-11月);(2)地区决赛(2010年11月-12月);(3)全国半决赛/总决赛(2010年3月-4月)。

第一阶段：互联网选拔赛/校园选拔赛

互联网选拔赛覆盖所有赛区。在互联网选拔赛的基础上，大赛组委会在各赛区邀请一批不同类别的高校合作组织现场校园选拔赛，直接选拔部分选手进入地区决赛。组织现场校园选拔赛的学校的选拔方式参见各校《校园选拔赛章程》，根据组委会要求组织现场校园选拔赛的学校每校至少有2名选手入围地区决赛。以下为除组织校园选拔赛的学校以外的其他学校选手参与互联网选拔赛的程序：

(一)参赛范围：国家承认的具有高等学历教育招生资格的普通高等学校在校本、专科学生均可报名参加，年龄、专业不限。

(二)比赛时间：比赛于2010年5月13日开始，各赛区互联网选拔赛结束时间详见大赛官方网站通知。

(三)参赛及选拔方式：

1. 参赛方式：参赛选手登陆大赛官方网站http://contest.i21st.cn，注册、提交作品并接受投票及评判。

2. 作品要求：

3. 演讲主题：

Growing up with the Internet: Who are we -- the Net Generation?

(成长于互联网时代：我们是怎样的一代人?)

题解：上世纪90年代，互联网在全球兴起。生于80年代末90年代初的当代大学生常被称为“90后”，他们的成长与互联网息息相关，被打上了这个时代的“烙印”。作为信息时代的最先体验者，他们是热爱快餐文化、爱电脑甚于爱书报的一代，他们是听着日韩舞曲、追着超女快男成长的一代，他们是生活条件最为优越、缺乏挫折教育的一代。有人说，这一代人桀骜不羁、思想肤浅、自我自负;可是也有人说，这一代人敢于探索、好奇心强，嘻哈的外表下有自己独立的思维认识和创新精神。作为90后的一员，你怎样定义和你同龄的这一代人?请结合亲身经历加以阐述。

4. 选拔方式：

(1) 互联网选拔赛投票期内，参赛选手所在学校以该校获得网络投票数及短信投票数总和最多的选手的总票数为依据进行排名。

第五篇：21世纪中日英语教育比较

摘要：中国和日本都是非英语国家，而且又是中国的近邻，因此中日的英语教育在许多方面具有对比性和借鉴性。从中日两国英语教育的现状、课程标准、教学方法方面进行比较，对于中国英语教育的提高具有借鉴意义。

关键词：中国;日本;英语教育;比较

中图分类号：G12文献标志码：A文章编号：2095-9214(2015)06-0290-01

一、目前中日英语教育的现状

随着全球化的迅猛发展，世界各地交流日益频繁，英语已发展成为全球化的语言。现在人人都学英语，从幼儿园就开始，过度“泛英语化”造成了很大的资源浪费。从小学到博士，几乎每个学生都把大量的时间和精力投入到英语上面，但是效果却不尽人意。据统计，有4亿多的中国人在学习英语，但实际的效果却出乎人的意料之外。全球首份《英语熟练度指标报告》是由某知名教育集团公布的，该报告显示中国人每年参加英语培训的花费是300亿元，但收效却甚微，中国在44个把英语作为非母语国家及地区中，英语的熟练度在亚洲区域排名倒数第二。针对以上种种现象，我国2014年出台了“高考改革方案”，中高考降低英语的分值，提高语文的分数。

日本为了提高在21世纪的竞争力和生存能力，越来越开始重视学校中的英语教育，进入到21世纪以来，日本更加注重政府对英语教育的改革政策。于是在2001年1月日本在文部省授意下，成立了《推进英语教学改革恳谈会》。该恳谈会积极采纳各方意见及见解，并全面讨论和研究了有关英语教育改革中暴露的众多问题。为了改善日本的英语教育，在2002年发布了《培养“能用英语的日本人”的战略构想》的报告，根据颁布的该报告，日本文部科学省准备加大对英语教育师资力量的投入和不断改进英语教学方法的手段。由此我们可以看出日本非常重视对本国英语的教育，但是真正把这些改革和计划落到实处也并非是件容易的事。

二、课程标准的比较

我国教育部在2001年1月印发了《关于积极推进小学开设英语课程的指导意见》，该意见中把小学开设英语课作为21世纪初基础教育改革的重要内容，并从小学三年级开始设置英语课，也先后制定了《全日制义务教育普通高级中学英语课程标准》和《普通高中英语课程标准》，其总体的目标是培养学生的综合语言运用能力，并对技能和知识提出了级别的要求。2013年，教育部出台了“高考改革方案”，规定降低高考的英语分值。紧接着北京市也公布了英语教育改革的方案，其中规定，小学三年级之前禁止开设英语课程。至此政府也规定从2016年起高考英语的分数值由150分减为100分，中考英语分数值由120分减为100分。自文件出台以来江苏、山东等地也相继传出酝酿中高考改革的消息。

而当我国部分地区正在减少中高考英语分值时，日本正在加强英语在考试中的比重。2013年10月11日，日本首相官邸召开政府教育再生实行会议后发布高考改革草案，该草案提出“新高考应该加入英语托福考试等校外考试”。2002年日本提出《培养“能使用英语的日本人”的战略构想》，之后颁布了《培养“能使用英语的日本人计划”的行动计划》，对设置小学英语课进行了规定，小学三年级以上都要引入“综合学习时间”，并在综合学习时间安排英语课，每周3个课时，此外为了在小学中避免向学生灌输语法和机械的背单词，强调小学英语不以考试打分而评估学生。中学阶段接受英语教育是必修课，以阅读和翻译为主，能够掌握寒暄以及应答等简单的对话。高中英语教育改为部分必修。

三、教学方法的比较

我国一直强调在教学中要以学生为主体教师为主导，而且社会上也出现了像“逆向式英语”、“四轮学习法”、“双向式英语”等各种学习英语的方法。尽管这些对一部分人产生了一定的效果，但是在我国当前这种应试教育之下学校的老师们只注重语法、词汇、阅读等，而忽略了听说、交流的能力。虽然现在关注了听力但是纵观卷纸听力所占的比重还是少的而阅读所占的分值是重中之重。在我国很多学校英语教学采取“灌输方式”让学生死记硬背应付考试，学生不得不一遍又一遍的背单词、学语法等“语言知识”，但却轻视了“语言能力的培养”。于是学了英语很多年，最终也是“哑巴”英语，这是目前我国学生普遍存在的“英语病”。

日本的英语教育和我国一样存在重语法、阅读而轻听说、交流的能力。2011年4月才开始把英语确定为小学5―6年级的必修课，但是与中国不同的是，日本针对本国应试英语的学习，日本的文部科学省要求教师在课堂上要尽量使用英语授课，以便给学生带来良好的学习英语的语言环境，还要求针对学生不同的英语水平和学习目标，合理选用教材，实施小班化教学和分组教学，根据学生的不同特点进行因材施教。这些无疑都促进了日本英语的发展。而且日本教育部已经宣布将2014学年的日本学生出国留学的奖金翻倍，可见日本现在非常注重学生的出国留学深造，有利于英语教育的发展。

四、结语

纵观中日两国英语教育的比较，其教育思想和教学形式都较为相似。虽然日本英语教育在世界上不能算是一流的水平，甚至在有些方面还不如我国，但是他们提出的有些措施却值得我们借鉴，并且也能给我国英语教育的改革带来一些启示：要充分认识英语教育的重要性，改变单一的教学方法，主要以听说训练为主，同时也要切实抓好英语课程改革，整合英语教育资源，共促英语教育发展。我们可以借鉴日本英语教育的经验，结合我国基本国情，实事求是，理论与实际相结合探索出一条更适合提高我国英语教育水平的途径，以便我国的英语教育事业能够得到更好的发展。
