In the last two decades, interest in cognitive biases has rapidly grown across various fields of study. The research so far has shown that cognitive biases have significant and sometimes adverse effects on decision making. Thus, it is increasingly being argued that classroom teaching of critical thinking needs to include instruction and training that help students understand cognitive biases and reduce their negative effects on judgment and decision making. Teaching students to be aware of biases and to develop and maintain strategies to reduce their influence is known as debiasing. The purpose of this paper is to provide an overview of cognitive biases and a framework for debiasing proposed by Wilson and Brekke (1994). Two approaches, modifying the person and modifying the environment, are discussed to help teachers introduce activities and strategies to mitigate biases. 認知バイアスへの関心は、この20年で様々な領域で急激に高まってきた。認知バイアスが、意思決定に対し有意な影響、時には逆効果を及ぼすことが、これまでの研究で明らかになった。そのため、教室で批判的思考を教える場合も、学生の認知バイアスへの理解に役立ち、認知バイアスが判断力や意思決定に対して及ぼす、時には有害な影響を弱める思考法を教える練習ないし訓練を組み込む必要があるのではないだろうか。学生がバイアスを認識し、その影響を払拭ないし弱める思考法を身につけてそれを維持するよう教えることは、デバイアスという名称で知られている。本稿では、認知バイアスとWilson and Brekke (1994) が提案するデバイアスのプロセスを概観する。教師がバイアスを和らげるための活動と戦略を紹介できるように、人間を修正し、環境を修正するという二つの取り組みについても検討する。

With the increasingly frequent international exchanges and cooperation, bilingualism and multilingualism have become a common social phenomenon. Along with this social trend, sociolinguistics, was once regarded as a marginal and small branch of linguistic research, which has been paid a growing number of attention from linguists and scholars in this field in recent years. Code switching is a central topic in sociolinguistics. In the past few decades, a large number of scholars have done a lot of research about code switching from articles, journals and books. Although many achievements have been made in code conversion in recent years, little work has been done in teaching Chinese as a foreign language. With the rapid development and immaturity of teaching Chinese as a foreign language, it is only in a marginal position in teaching methods and foreign language teaching research system. Based on linguistic theory, this paper analyzes the causes and functions of code switching in foreign Chinese teachers' classroom teaching by observing the phenomenon of code switching in foreign Chinese teachers' classroom teaching and conducting follow-up interviews with teachers and students after class. The results show that teachers can help students to accept new knowledge more effectively and they highlight the key points and difficulties in class, so teachers play an important role in improving the teaching quality. In addition, the conclusion reflects the actual situation of teaching Chinese as a foreign language to a certain extent, and provides a reference for improving the teaching ability and classroom teaching effect of foreign Chinese teachers.

By conducting an on-line questionnaire survey, the article compared 97 international students’ views with 23 Chinese teachers’ practices on 8 issues in corrective feedback (CF) in teaching Chinese to speakers of other languages (TCSOL). Results revealed that students’ views and teachers’ practices conformed to each other in cognition of committing verbal errors, and in whether to correct; that they were mostly incongruent with each other in what to correct; that they were congruent with each other in peer correction, but not in teachers’ correction or self-correction; that they coincided with each other in indirect correction, but not in direct one, nor in immediate correction or the maximum correction frequency in one class; and that CF mainly generated positive psychological effects and better learning on students, but its pedagogical efficacy was not evidently approved by the teachers. This research aimed at gaining a deeper insight into the effectiveness of CF in TCSOL to improve the quality of TCSOL.
