Error analysis theory is also a useful means in English teaching and study. Through analyzing learners＇ errors, some regular patterns will be discovered. Language learning is a process of making mistakes, correcting them, and enhancing language ability. In order to promote language teaching, teachers should analyze carefully the causes of students＇ mistakes and take different measures to put them right. This paper will study error analysis and related theory, focus on the causes and the types of the errors in students＇ writing, and discuss the coping strategy in English teaching展开更多

Sixty sixth-grade Chinese-speaking children at an elementary school in Taipei City were recruited. Forty-four three-level of storybooks from Kizclub were collected and analyzed. Fifteen minutes reading instruction was followed by the use of CLAN on storybooks for 25 minutes. Children were given written and spoken vocabulary tests after each cluster of storybook reading period. There were three main findings of the study. First, young EFL （English as a Foreign Language） learners＇ word learning was enhanced through multiple exposures to the shared and unique words from the storybooks. Second, word instruction in isolation prompted written and spoken word learning beyond word instruction in context and repeated reading. Third, the results had pedagogical implications on the value and feasibility of language teaching with storybooks in promoting EFL students＇ word learning by using CLAN, and the limitations of the study were provided.展开更多

As such it may serve to investigate the styles of British and American literary works, thus facilitating the teaching of British and American literature. This paper, after surveying the basic stylistic theory and its relevance to research on and teaching of literature, illustrates how to effectively adopt the method of stylistic analysis in the teaching of British and American literature展开更多
