从模因理论重新认识背诵在外语教学中作用

Re-understanding Roles of Recitation in Foreign Language Teaching from Memetics Theory

背诵作为我国的传统教学模式,千百年来一直被我国教育者在教学中所沿用。但今天,当人们过于热衷地应用分析性、启发性的语言教学法时,背诵被认为不合理或不可取。随着对模因论的深入研究,人们逐渐重新发现了背诵在语言学习中的重要作用。

Recitation, a traditional mode of teaching, has been in use for hundreds and thousands of years in China. Yet nowadays when people are too much bent on such teaching methods as analytical and heuristic, it is deemed irrational or impracticable. However, with the ever increasing research on memetics, people have gradually gained a fresh understanding of the roles of recitation in the language learning.
