结构-功能关照下的外语教学

On Structural Aspects and Functional Items as Teaching Contents

结构指构成语言的基本要素。语音、语义和语法三种要素是外语学习和运用的基础知识,它们的结构规则通过言语技能训练得以熟练掌握,并逐渐形成学生的语言能力。学生运用结构表达一定的意念或功能,实现观念、情感和意志等的交流。本文提出"重结构兼重功能"的教学理念,并且辩证地阐述结构与功能概念及其与外语教学的关系。

Structural aspects refer to the main elements which form the language, including phonetic, semantic and grammar. These three elements are the basic knowledge of foreign language learning and use. The rules of phonetic, semantic and grammar can be learned and trained through verbal practice and gradually become students＇ language competence. Students use linguistic structures to express some ideas and functions, realizing the communication of notion, emotion and will.

On the base of this, it interprets dialectically the relationship between the teaching concepts and learning practice.
