语用学视角下的国内英语教材研究述评

A review of domestic studies on English textbooks: The pragmatic perspective

就语用学视角下的国内英语教材研究而言,研究对象主要是初中教材和大学教材,研究焦点主要是言语行为信息,研究内容主要包括言语行为信息、语用能力培养、语用失误、语用预设、元语用信息等方面,研究视角主要为言语行为理论和礼貌原则,研究方法多为文本统计。在未来研究中,宜促进各学段英语教材和同学段不同类型教材的均衡研究;借鉴国外研究经验,进一步拓展研究话题,对已涉及话题深化研究;借助多种研究工具加强对教材使用的行动研究和实验研究,加强利用教材进行语用教学的教学效果研究和教师专业发展研究;加强二语习得理论应用力度,对学习者语用能力的习得和发展规律进行深入探索。

The research objects of domestic studies on English textbooks from pragmatic perspective are mainly those used in junior high schools and universities.The research focus primarily lies in the information on speech acts.The research topics include the distribution of speech act information,the cultivation of pragmatic competence,pragmatic failures,pragmatic presuppositions and metapragmatic information.The approaches employed are mainly speech act theory and politeness principle,and the prevailing research method is statistical analysis of texts.In future studies,it is necessary to promote the balanced development of English textbooks in different educational stages and different types of English textbooks in the same educational stage.Meanwhile,relevant foreign studies are illuminating for their Chinese counterparts in terms of the research topics.Moreover,it is suggested to use various research instruments to undertake action research and experimental research in relation to textbook usage and promote the research on the effect of pragmatic teaching.Finally,it is recommended to increase the applications of second language acquisition theory to explore the laws of acquisition and development in learners’pragmatic competence.
