英汉对比分析与外语教学初探

Contrastive Studies between English and Chinese in TEFL

本文从对比分析的心理学基础出发,分析了对比分析的赞同假设和怀疑假设及其在外语教学中的运用,指出:对比分析尽管不能完全解释外语学习中的困难,但是它强调了外语教学中的跨语言干扰因素,所以仍然具有非常积极的意义。

Beginning with the psychological basis of contrastive studies, the paper analyses the strong and weak versions, and then discusses the application of contrastive analysis in TEFL（Teaching English as a Foreign Language）. It is pointed out that contrastive studies contributes much to TEFL because it emphasizes the interference from the mother language, even though it can not fully explain the difficulties in foreign language learning.
