Research on the Application of"Scaffolding Instruction"in English Teaching in Higher Vocational Colleges
As a teaching philosophy and model,scaffolding instruction presents characteristics such as diversity in form,pertinence in object,appropriateness in contents,timeliness in setting,and immediacy in evaluation in dealing with the relationship between"teaching"and"learning".The steps of scaffolding teaching mainly include building scaffolding,entering the context,independent exploration,collaborative learning and effectiveness evaluation,which constitute a complete and efficient learning process.By using experimental methods,an in-depth study was conducted on the application requirements and environment of"scaffolding instruction"in English teaching in higher vocational colleges,verifying that scaffolding teaching has a significant effect on improving students'English grades.At the same time,inspiration was drawn that further enhancing the effectiveness of scaffolding instruction requires improving teachers'literacy,familiarizing with various scaffolding,identifying the"zone of proximal development",and establishing a positive environment.
