An Investigation on the Influence of Middle School Students'Grammar Learning Self-efficacy on Their Learning Performance

In middleschool English teaching,grammar instruction has always been an important and challenging aspect.Due to the strong influence of grammar explanation in Chinese,learning English grammar may be affected by negative transfer from their native language,which could pose certain obstacles to English acquisition.Self-efficacy,as a major emotional factor influencing learners'internal regulation strategies,has attracted wide attention from researchers both domestically and internationally for its impact on learning performance.High self-efficacy helps learners develop a more positive mindset towards learning,thereby contributing to improved learning performance.Therefore,this study focuses on investigating the relationship between grammatical self-efficacy and learning performance of English grammar among middle school students.This research contributes to a complementary understanding of grammatical self-efficacy among educators,enhancing their teaching skills,and effectively guiding students to learn English grammar with a more positive and healthy mindset,presenting a future grammar instruction in middle school English teaching.

NewBee: Context-Free Grammar (CFG) of a New Programming Language for Novice Programmers

Learning programming and using programming languages are the essential aspects of computer science education.Students use programming languages to write their programs.These computer programs(students or practitioners written)make computers artificially intelligent and perform the tasks needed by the users.Without these programs,the computer may be visioned as a pointless machine.As the premise of writing programs is situated with specific programming languages,enormous efforts have been made to develop and create programming languages.However,each program-ming language is domain-specific and has its nuances,syntax and seman-tics,with specific pros and cons.These language-specific details,including syntax and semantics,are significant hurdles for novice programmers.Also,the instructors of introductory programming courses find these language specificities as the biggest hurdle in students learning,where more focus is on syntax than logic development and actual implementation of the program.Considering the conceptual difficulty of programming languages and novice students’struggles with the language syntax,this paper describes the design and development of a Context-Free Grammar(CFG)of a programming language for the novice,newcomers and students who do not have computer science as their major.Due to its syntax proximity to daily conversations,this paper hypothesizes that this language will be easy to use and understand by novice programmers.This paper systematically designed the language by identifying themes from various existing programming languages(e.g.,C,Python).Additionally,this paper surveyed computer science experts from industry and academia,where experts self-reported their satisfaction with the newly designed language.The results indicate that 93%of the experts reported satisfaction with the NewBee for novice,newcomer and non-Computer Sci-ence(CS)major students.

A Comparison between Deductive and Inductive Approaches for Teaching EFL Grammar to High School Students

This study had the purpose of testingtwo methods for teaching grammar in Englishasa Foreign Language(EFL)class:the deductive and inductive approaches in terms of effectiveness and rapport.This research was conducted in a public high school in Ecuador.Seventy students enrolled in the second year of senior high school participated.One in-service teacher taught the EFL classes during the process of intervention(10 weeks),and two EFL teachers observed all of these classes and recorded the information by filling in observation sheets.The students were administered grammar pretests and post-tests in order to assess their grammar knowledge.The results of the tests showed a significant difference in the scores in favor of the inductive approach.After the statistical analysis of the data obtained from the tests and observation sheets,we concluded that the inductive approach is more effective for teaching grammar in the EFL classroom in terms of instruction and rapport.

“行为本位”与口语语法研究

行为是举动与活动的连接点,行为实施是口语交际的基本目的。鉴于行为在口语互动中的基础性作用,口语语法研究宜秉持“行为本位”观,将行为作为语言功能描写的观测点。基于该研究理念,本文构建了一个行为体系,将其分为评价、传情、际构、问答、求予、协商、讲述、推理等八大基本类型,并进行二级、三级、四级分类。在“行为本位”观下开展口语语法研究可重点关注三种范式:行为的资源形式与位置分布、行为的类型归属与解构分析、行为的包装设计与动态征用。

语义制约语法刍议

语法问题说到底是语义问题,语义对语法的制约不仅体现在词语、特殊句法结构中,还体现在语篇组织甚或语篇透露的“文化背景”上;不仅现代汉语语法受制于语义,古代汉语语法亦然。丰富的具体实例剖析展示了语义影响制约语法的丰富与复杂性,这也造成“似乎至今没有人深入探究过语义和语法的关系”的窘境。然而,认识“语义制约语法”很重要,这就要求研究者在考察、描写或解释某个语法现象时自觉地追究语义是如何制约语法的。

生成语法研究的科学史及其理论贡献——《言语的神秘性》评述

在《言语的神秘性》一书中,作者指出,人类的语言能力有坚实的生物学基础,生成语法研究应做且能做的是构建一种理论,为句法的神经生物学研究开疆拓土,这对生成语法研究的未来走向具有重要的启示意义和引领作用;另外,当下流行的AI技术难以揭示内嵌于人类大脑中普遍语法的本质特征,因此人们对语言技术的狂热是盲目且错误的。

“大语法”关照下汉外词汇比较

汉语“大语法”超越主谓结构,以对话为基础,以对言格式为主干。韵律和词汇都是大语法的有机组成部分。词汇的汉外比较有利于真切认识汉语的词汇特色和构造运作之道。与英语相比较,逻辑要素在汉语里的习惯表达倾向于成对的语词,这一比较更能揭示汉语大语法“对言对思”的特性。“语义的不确定性”是语言的正常特性,符合语言交际和语言演化的一般规律。从词汇意义和语法意义的“不确定性”出发,确立汉语词汇和语法共同的“名动包含”的格局,这就开启了把名词和动词视为“对等项”的可能,为汉语大语法超越主谓结构创造了学理条件。确立汉语“名动包含”格局还有助于我们从汉语出发反观印欧语,从而加深人们对人类语言本质的认识。

近三年汉语方言语法研究的动态与展望

高职英语教材中语法板块的典型问题探究

当前我国部分高职公共英语教材的问题颇多,其中语法版块的问题尤为突出,主要表现为:语法知识的编排缺乏全局观与体系性;对语法知识结构体系认识模糊;对基本语法概念的理解和认识不清晰;对语法知识的讲解过于简略,错误频繁出现等。教材出现的诸多问题直接影响教材的科学性,进而影响教材的权威性。教材的权威性不足会直接削弱学生对于教材的信任,挫伤学生学习英语的积极性,降低学习效果。语法板块频繁出现问题甚至错误,其根源一方面在于对语法之于英语学习的重要性认识不足,另一方面在于编者对语法知识的理解不够透彻,更进一步说,是对于英语教材建设重视不够,责任心不够,缺乏工匠精神,必须引起重视。
