1998-2008十年对外汉语教材述评

Development of Teaching Materials of Chinese as a Second Language:A Review

1998-2008这十年出版的教材在总体框架、内容设计和形式设计等方面都有了较大的变化:关注交际技能教学的系列教材正在成为教材的主流;在内容方面,教材的话题广泛,涉及社会生活的各个方面,语料在取舍时考虑到了语言表达的系统性与交际能力培养结合,练习题型出现了"要素型"与"技能型"数量相当的趋势,文化呈现方式也多样化了;在形式方面,其版面和装帧设计都开始向关注学习者、为内容服务发展。这些变化表现出对外汉语教学近十年在教学理念上的转变:关注学习者,关注交际能力的培养。不过,如果进一步深入分析,也不难发现,对外汉语教材在课文的话题排序、语言结构与语言表达功能之间的关系等方面还有继续努力的空间。

The past ten years from 1998 to 2008 have witnessed a great change in the publications of the teaching materials of Chinese as a foreign language in their overall frame, content and form design. In fact, the series of teaching materials that pay attention to communicative skills are becoming the mainstream. The topics in these materials involve various aspects of social life. The materials have given enough consideration to the combination of the systematicity of the language points and the performance competence. The types of exercises include ＂essential factor practice＂ and ＂skill practice＂. The presentation of the cultural knowledge is diversified. The form of publications has also advanced for the learners and the content. All these changes indicate the transformation.of the teaching ideology： attention to learners and to communicative skills. However, further analysis may display that there is still room for improvement, such as in topic arrangement order, and the relationship between language structures and the expressive functions.
