我国外语教学的新思考

New Thinking on China's Foreign Language Education

语言能力/语言运用两分法的争论引发了对频率效应的重视,从而导致了外语教学中以过程为目标的认知观。本文以这些新思考为背景提出了针对我国外语教学的研究方案:首先是对中国学习者在接受和产生外语时的认知系统开展实验性研究,建立中国学习者的二语习得的模型;其次是改善目前词汇表的编写,作为推广词汇大纲的第一步;第三注意词汇语法,把语法作为一种技能而训练;第四是完善中国英语学习者的语料库。

The debate around the dichotomy of linguistic competence/performance has attracted the attention to frequency effects and brought about the process-oriented cognitive approach to second language acquisition. In the light of these new considerations, a research paradigm has been proposed to conduct empirical study of the cognitive system of second language perception and production of Chinese learners; to introduce the lexical syllabus with the improvement of the existing wordlists as the first step; to pay attention to lexicogrammar, and teach grammar as a skill; and to further improve the Chinese learner corpus.
