人际功能在综合英语语篇反向教学策略中的作用

The Role of the Interpersonal Function in the Top-Down Strategy in Comprehensive English Discourse Teaching

传统语篇教学采用自下而上的语篇正向教学策略,注重词汇语法学习,忽视了语言学习的最终目标,即具体语境下语言的使用。语篇反向教学策略,关注语言的使用,通过学习语气所传达的语篇人际功能,二语学习者可以从宏观上把握语篇所传递的信息,作者的态度及判断,与语篇达成互动,在此基础上辅以正向教学策略可更准确的学习不同层次的语言单位在具体语境下的用法。

In traditional discourse teaching, the bottom-up strategy is adopted, which emphasizes the lexical and grammar study while overlooking the ultimate objective of language learning-the proper use of language under specific contexts. This paper puts forward the top-down strategy which focuses on the use of language instead of the usage of language. Through learning the interpersonal function of discourse delivered by mood, the SLL is capable of interpreting the information, attitude and judgements of the author from a macro view and eventually getting involved in the interaction with the discourse. Based on this dominant learning process, with the help of the bottomup strategy, the SLL can have a more accurate understanding of the proper use of the linguistic units at different levels in specific contexts.
