探索隐性知识在语言学习早期的重要性

The Importance of Developing Learners' Implicit Knowledge in the Early Stage of Their Language Learning

作为一门学科,语言长期给人一种迷茫。不进学校,人们自然会讲母语;进了学校,人们也不一定会讲外语。其实,该问题的关键是人们没有搞清楚语言的二重性或二种知识:显性知识(有关语言的知识)和隐性知识(语言自身)。围绕这一现象,本文从理论和实践上对这两种知识在语言学习过程中的影响和作用作了一定的阐述与论证。指出要让学生掌握语言,教师必须充分认识语言的基本特征和语言隐性知识的重要性,用隐形学习的方式来开拓学生的隐性语法和隐形记忆的能力,以正真掌握语言。

Being a subject in school,language has puzzled people for a long time.Without entering a school,they can speak their mother tongue very well;however,studying at school,students are not definitely able to speak a foreign language that they learn.In fact,the key problem is that many teachers are not clear of the dual nature of the language or two different kinds of knowledge that a language has-explicit knowledge（the knowledge about a language） and implicit knowledge（the ability knowing a language）.With a focus on this phenomenon,the present article describes and testifies the different role of the two kinds of knowledge in the process of language learning both in theory and in practice.It points out that to guide students to acquire a language,teachers should first of all understand the importance of the basic features of a language and implicit knowledge and help students develop their implicit grammar and implicit memory by means of implicit learning,so that they can acquire the language in the end.
