英语语法能力的动态多维层次探微

On Dynamic and Multidimensional Layers of English Grammatical Competence Development

长期以来,英语语法能力发展过程被简单划分为知识习得与能力培养两个层面,这种区分虽然厘清了语法知识与语法能力的不同,却忽视了外语学习者语法能力发展的复杂性。借助Anderson的ACT模式和Norman对能力所做的分类,参考Hymes的交际能力观,构建从语法知识习得、内化到有意识输出、无意识输出和交际能力提高等语法能力发展层次框架;这些层次并非线性的,而是处于动态发展之中的。该框架在一定程度上突破了语法知识与语法能力二分法的局限。

For a long period, the process of English grammar acquisition has been roughly divided into grammatical knowledge acquisition and grammatical competence training. Though this two-layer distinction clearly demonstrates the differences between grammatical knowledge and grammatical competence, it neglects the complex layers of foreign language learners＇ grammatical competence development. Basing on Anderson＇s ACT and Norman＇s classification of ability, referring to Hymes＇ contribution of communicative ability, we construct the five-layer grammatical competence development framework from grammatical knowledge acquisition, through internalization, conscious output, unconscious output to intercultural communication. These phases are not in the state of linear, but in dynamic development. This framework, to a certain degree, overcomes the limitation of dichotomy that grammar acquisition process includes grammatical knowledge acquiring and grammatical competence training.
