论乔姆斯基理论诞生后外语教学发展趋势

On the Trends of Foreign Language Teaching Development Ever Since the Birth of Chomsky's Language Theory

乔姆斯基语言理论的诞生,触发了人们对语言教学尤其是外语教学的多维思考。随着相关理论如交际语言教学、二语习得理论、社会语言学的发展,外语教学发生了深刻的变化,如教学理念、教学方式的变化。总体来说,外语教学发展大致呈现三大趋势,即交际式语言教学法、母语式二语教学法和互动式课堂教学法。笔者在文中阐述了每个趋势的渊源、发展及其利弊,目的在于为中国外语教育自主创新提供一些有价值的经验。

Ever since the Chomsky＇s language theory came into being, people have had multiple thoughts in terms of language teaching, especially foreign language teaching. With the development of the related theories such as Communicative Language Teaching （CLT）, Second Language Acquisition （SLA） and sociolinguistics, great changes have taken place in the field of foreign language teaching such as teaching ideas and teaching modes. Generally speaking, the changes show themselves three trends in the main, namely, language teaching by way of communication, L2 teaching by way of acquisition and classroom teaching by way of interaction. In the paper the author probes into the orig/ns, development, and advantages and d/sadvantages of each trend, and the purpose is to put forward some valuable experience for self - reliant creation in China＇s foreign language education.
