外语文学与外语学习

Foreign Language Literature and the Language Learning

在大学阶段的外语教学和学习中,外国文学对语言学习的促进作用常受到质疑。究其原因,这首先是受学习内容的客观浅泛性和接受者的主观功利思想的影响;其次是对文学范畴的误读;同时,外语教师对文学文本的驾驭能力也影响着文学的语言教学利用效果。以上因素影响了人们对文学的语言学习利用价值的客观评价。对此问题的澄清,有利于开拓更多有效的语言学习途径,促进语言知识学习和语言技能训练的全面发展。

The function of literature in the learning of language is often doubted. Three reasons account for the doubt. Firstly, what is learned in the college is general rather than special, and thus the doubt comes as the result of imprudent utilitarian judgment on the courses in the program. Secondly, a narrow understanding of the scope of literature limits its application in the field of language teaching. Third, the language teacher's competence in using literature as resources of language teaching plays an important role in the effective teaching of literature. Objective analysis of these reasons is helpful for the efficiently rational application of literature, one of the important language teaching resources.
