Abstract

Competence is one of the fashionable terms which permeate public and academic discourses of the 21st century. Accompanied by a plethora of meanings, competence has, rather expectedly, become an inflated notion (Weinert & Helmke, 1998; Virkus, 2009). While we intuitively know what competence, competency or a competent person mean, precise definitions are hard to obtain. To paraphrase Felstead et al. (2002), considering the enormous interest in competence – its structure, development and distribution – there is surprisingly little consensus on what competence actually refers to. This status quo is not helped by context-dependence of competence, i.e. its conceptual reliance on a particular domain within which the term is applied.
外语学习和教学能力。介绍
能力是21世纪公众和学术话语中流行的术语之一。伴随着过多的含义,能力理所当然地成为了一个膨胀的概念(Weinert&Helmke,1998;维尔库斯,2009年)。虽然我们直观地知道能力、胜任力或有能力的人意味着什么,但很难获得准确的定义。借用Felstead等人(2002)的话,考虑到人们对能力的巨大兴趣——它的结构、发展和分布——令人惊讶的是,人们对能力到底指的是什么几乎没有达成共识。能力的上下文依赖无助于这种现状,即它在概念上依赖于该术语所适用的特定领域。
