摘要
对外语教学的研究无疑是提高学生运用外语能力的有效方法.然而,我们基本上较为注重教学法的研究,而忽视了语言本身在外语教学中对学生学习和掌握所产生的影响.本文对此进行了探讨,提出了外语教学的两个方面——教学特性,包括教学方式;语言特性,包括外语在教学中所起的作用.其中教学特性决定了对所学语言的理解和掌握,语言特性决定了对所学语言的运用和交际能力的体现,两者在外语教学中都具有同样的实际价值.
The study of the foreign language teaching is no doubt an effective way to improve students' ability of foreign language. But we usually place greater emphasis on applying the methods of teaching than language itself, which will probably affect the students' using of the language in the course of teaching. In this article, two aspects of foreign language teaching are discussed ?teaching as a method being applied, and language feature, as communication being concerned, which is characteristic of foreign language teaching.
