  • A Critical Reading of Multiculturalism in English Language Teaching and Learning
    Nov. 2008, Volume 5, No.11 (Serial No.48) US-China Education Review, ISSN1548-6613, USA A critical reading of multiculturalism in English language teaching and learning ZHAO Ning (English Department, Sanjiang University, Nanjing Jiangsu 210012, China) Abstract: Multiculturalism becomes the buzzword in educational fields. The implication of multiculturalism is critically examined to appreciate its relevance to English language teaching. Critical multiculturalism is advocated whereby L2 learners need to examine how social and historical discourses construct their identities and have a critical reflection about the discourses’ power/knowledge and social impact. Viewing language and culture as artificial systems with ideological dominance, critical multiculturalism leads to a critical pedagogy to negotiate, reverse and resist such ideological dominance. Critical multiculturalism enables L2 teachers and learners to create, maintain and transform language uses, hence their identities and social realities. Key words: critical multiculturalism; discourse, identity; power; language teaching 1. A critical reading of multiculturalism Globalization is evident in numerous spheres of our everyday life with persistent penetration of the global capital and increasing immigration from developing countries to developed countries, resulting in the phenomenal growth of the culturally diverse L2 learners. Globalization also brings destabilization and recreation of identities in Diaspora for L2 learners. Nowadays, multiculturalism becomes the buzzword in political and educational arenas. A critical examination of the implication of multiculturalism is needed to appreciate its relevance to English language teaching. The understanding of multiculturalism has to start with culture, discourse, identity and power. Culture refers to meanings embedded in social interactions, which involves two aspects—discourse and identity, both of them are social constructions.

  • Responses of Water Use Efficiency to Phenology in Typical Subtropical
    SCIENCE CHINA Earth Sciences •RESEARCH PAPER• January 2020 Vol.63 No.1: 145–156 https://doi.org/10.1007/s11430-018-9360-0 Responses of water use efficiency to phenology in typical subtropical forest ecosystems—A case study in Zhejiang Province Fengsheng GUO1,2, Jiaxin JIN1,2*, Bin YONG1,2, Ying WANG3 & Hong JIANG4 1 State Key Laboratory of Hydrology-Water Resources and Hydraulic Engineering, Hohai University, Nanjing 210098, China; 2 School of Earth Sciences and Engineering, Hohai University, Nanjing 211100, China; 3 School of Culture Industry and Tourism Management, Sanjiang University, Nanjing 210012, China; 4 International Institute for Earth System Science, Nanjing University, Nanjing 210023, China Received October 2, 2018; revised April 8, 2019; accepted April 15, 2019; published online May 20, 2019 Abstract Ecosystem-scale water-use efficiency (WUE) is an important indicator for understanding the intimately coupled relationship between carbon and water cycles in ecosystems. Previous studies have suggested that both abiotic and biotic factors have significant effects on WUE in forest ecosystems. However, responses of WUE to phenology in the context of climate change remain poorly understood. In this study, we analyzed the sensitivity and response patterns of seasonal WUE to phenology in Zhejiang Province where typical subtropical forest ecosystems are located, and discussed potential causes of the changes of the sensitivity and response patterns along different climate gradient during 2000–2014. The results of interannual partial correlation analysis showed widespread negative correlations between WUE and the start of growing season (SOS) in spring. This is because the increase in gross primary product (GPP) is larger than that of evapotranspiration (ET), resulting from an advanced SOS.
