Teaching Grammar to Students at Basic and Intermediate Levels

There is no doubt that grammar is a basic and indispensable element in language. However, it is still under debate that whether grammar should be taught in class. Although Krashen(1981) argues that grammar instruction has little benefit on L2(second language) acquisition(as cited in Ellis, 2006), many educators still insist that grammar should be taught, especially for beginners and intermediate level students. Since students' proficiencies are various, a large number of instructors believe that teaching grammar is necessary and important for students to acquire the ability of listening, speaking, reading, and writing in their second language. Therefore, according to previous research studies and teaching practices, the following questions will be addressed: Why should grammar be taught in class, how to teach grammar and are there any strategies to improve the quality of grammar instruction, especially for non-native-speaking students at basic or intermediate level. Last but not least, are there any educational implications when teaching grammar in practice?

This pilot study examined the effectiveness and students’perceptions of a multimedia module on intermediate Chinese-as-a-Foreign-Language(CFL)learners’understanding and use of the“shì...de”construction.The module was designed based on the First Principles of Instruction(Morrill,2002)and the Cognitive Theory of Multimedia Learning(Mayer,2009;2014).It provided a systematic and comprehensive approach to teaching the“shì...de”construction,one of the most challenging grammar points in CFL.Twenty-two CFL learners participated in this mixed-methods study.Data were collected using pre-and post-tests,a survey,think-alouds,and semi-structured interviews.Findings show that after using the module,students’understanding and use of the construction significantly improved,except for their understanding of the second usage.The students enjoyed using the module and appreciated how it was designed,the way it was presented,and its availability.The reasons for the effectiveness of the module were analyzed and led to suggested improvements to the design of the module.The detailed description of the design process and the research result contribute to the knowledge of designing grammar teaching modules with multimedia for online,blended,and flipped learning.

CONSCLOUSNESS—RAISING OR EXPLICIT INSTRUCTION?——A REVIEW OF CELCE—MURCIA'S“GRAMMAR PEDAGOGY IN SECOND AND FOREIGN LANGUAGE TEACHING”

Introduction There is a general consensus among language learning theorists,educational psycholo-gists,and language—teaching professionals that the learning of anything does not occur in avacuum.That is,successful language learning of whatever kind comes out only when what isto be learned can be meaningfully related to something that is already known.Learning,inother words,must take place within some kind of familiar context or framework——an ex-tension of the familiar to the unfamiliar,if you will.The natural question to raise,then,iswhat such"frameworks"——and ones familiar to the learner——we might identify for thelearning of second/foreign language grammar.In what way,we are entitled to ask,wouldgrammatical consciousness—raising fit into this roughly—drawn,very general picture of lan-
