高校英语专业语法课程之教学法:问题与对策

Methodology of Grammar Course for English Majors:Problems and Solutions

目前高校英语语法课程的教学法问题主要表现为:以教材为中介的语法教学中极端教师中心和学生中心的问题,教学方法上固守传统灌输式与面对交际教学思想的方法困惑,练习设计与实践中注重形式本身的机械传统型练习和注重真实意义交流的交际性练习的问题。基于对现代课程、教学和学习的本质和特征的理解,文章提出了几项应对策略:情景框架下语法经验机会提供与获得的教师指导学生中心,认知与实践路径下有针对性的多元教学方法体系建构与灵活选择,以及以听说读写译为手段的灵活多样的认知性和应用性练习体系设计。

Methodological problems in grammar courses for English majors in China can be summarized as follows: teacher-centredness and learner-centredness as extremes of teacher-learner relationship in textbook-mediated grammar instruction,sticking to traditional cramming method and being perplexed at methods by the communicative teaching philosophy in instructional methods,focus-on-form traditional mechanical exercise and focus-on-meaning communicative activities in practice design.Based on the understanding of the nature of curriculum,instruction and learning,corresponding solutions are provided in this paper,which are: adopting a teacher-directed learner-centredness approach with opportunities provision and obtaining of grammar experience in context,establishing and making choice of a directed multi-method system for cognition and practice,and designing flexible cognitive and applicative tasks by means of listening,speaking,reading,writing and translating.
