The thesis holds that explicit grammar instruction plays a very important role in foreign language learning and teaching and argues that English education in China should lay emphasis on how to assist students' grammar internalization and promote the conversion from explicit learning to implicit learning.展开更多

In recent years, more and more domestic scholars begin to think about the situation of China and explore the grammar teaching method. This article will review the explicit grammar instruction and implicit grammar teaching research, collect and analyze the integration of explicit grammar instruction and implicit grammar teaching strategy and its advantages in the grammar teaching.展开更多

By reviewing the relevant literature, the paper discusses from the following five aspects: if explicit grammar instruction(EGI) is effective; if EGI facilitates interlanguage; if the effectiveness of EGI lasts in the long term; if there are means to maintain the effectiveness of EGI and if EGI can be applied to all grammar rules. Based on the discussion, the paper draws a conclusion about the significance of EGI and discusses its pedagogical implications.展开更多
