CriticismandTranscendence:Master-slaveDialecticfromaHistoricalMaterialismViewby LI Zhen-yuan, CHENG He-xiang p.5

It is purely a misinterpretation that some scholars unscramble ‘masters turned into slaves, and slaves turned into masters’ from the master-slave dialectic. Based on the historical materialism, analyzing the master-slave dialectic from the perceptual activity and historical perspective will break the philosophy myth of master-slave relations inversion. According to Hegel’s formulation, the slaves did not really take the risk of losing their lives to achieve their freedom, but threw themselves into the lap of stoicism, skepticism and Christianity, and so did not ‘turn into masters’. As one of the most profound and sacred thoughts of young Hegel, the topics of Desire, Recognition, Death and Labor in the “master-slave dialectic” all become important thought resources for the future generations.

Key words: master-slave dialectic; myth; perceptual activity; history; back to Hegel

ReviewonResearchintoPragmaticTeachingandDirectionsforFutureStudiesby HUANG Chun-lan, WANG Xiao p.156

This paper reviews previous studies on pragmatic teaching. The majority of available research seeks to prove the necessity and feasibility of pragmatic instruction, the comparison between planned pedagogical action and traditional language class in terms of pragmatic instruction, and the advantage of explicit pragmatic teaching over implicit teaching concerning the effect on the acquisition of pragmatic knowledge. Thus, it is proposed that future research should lay more emphasis on the process-product investigation of foreign language classroom in an endeavor to uncover actual classroom pragmatic teaching as well as the pragmatic input by EFL teachers. In addition, teachers’ pragmatic awareness and its influence on their teaching practice are also worth exploring. Another direction for future research is to explore the teaching of other aspects of pragmatic knowledge apart from speech acts. Furthermore, future studies should distinguish pragmalinguistic competence from sociopragmatic competence.

Key Words: pragmatic teaching; pragmatic competence; pragmatic features
