Since its naissance back into the 70s of the last century,Hip-Hop and Rap music has been utilized as a channel for identity expression and formation by African Americans especially urban youth.From a sociolinguistic point of view,it is through the use of a particular language register–generally termed as African American English(AAE)–that the rappers get to portrait,narrate and elaborate their own ideologies closely concerning various aspects of their life and status.Broadly,the influence of Hip-Hop culture has gained it major momentum among urban youth across the globe.In countries where English is used as a foreign language(EFL),Hip-Hop is well received by young speakers who wish to express their own personality and alleviate pressures from schools,family and society(Li,2004).Given the multiplicity of features in Hip-Hop texts,this article argues that it can be informative to EFL in general and English pronunciation teaching in particular. 相似文献

在视觉文化冲击下,基于经典文学文本改编的电影制品开始被大量地引介到高等院校的英美文学课堂上。作为文学课程教学的一种辅助手段,文学电影所独有的跨学科、视觉化、听觉化等特点,可以使传统、枯燥的课堂变得丰富多彩、生动有趣,从而激发学生学习兴趣,开阔视野,拓展思路;但培养学生解读英文原著能力的教学目的以及英美文学教学中课时严重不足的现实限制了以影像为核心的经典电影在文学课堂上的无限利用。本着"扬"弃"并重的原则,在教学中,要依据英美文学特质并摘取经典电影的精华部分,结合有度以达最佳教学效果为根本,大胆创新以积极探索新的教学模式。 相似文献
