OnGrammar关于语法课一、外语语法教学的意义1.教育的第一功能是教授已有的知识,运用到外语教学上,就是向学生传授语法知识,使其在实际的语言阅读和理解过程中省去大量的时间;2.教育的第二功能是训练学习者的社会能力,语言教学就意味着教会他们如何正确地使用适当的语言形式来完成一些社会任务,如问路、告别、请求等;3.教育的第三个功能是培养学习者个人的素质和能力。体现在语言教学上,就是遵循个人语言能力的自然发展过程,尽量提供适当的自然环境,使学生的语言习惯和能力在自然过程中形成。二、外语语法学习的目的:外语语法学习的目的不是为了熟记外语语法的条条框框,而是为了更好地进行听、说、读、写,学习外语语法是为培养外语运用能力而服务的,是为了帮助学习者利用语言知识,提高外语的听、说、读、写能力。外语语法起的只是工具作用。三、外语语法教学的目的:外语语法教学的目的就是为了让学生掌握必要的语法规则,为学生言语能力的提高打下基础,为培养听、说、读、写能力服务。四、学习语法的方法和原则1.善于自己发现错误。2.一定要背会、记熟语法规则。3.避免重复错误,尽量弄明白为什么一直犯同类错误。4.多实践,勤复习。5.学语法要耐心,下苦功,但不可操之过急。118
参考阅读:英语语法是英语专业的一门必修课程。语法是语言的组织规律,它是关于词的形态变化和用词造句的规则。学生在综合英语课中虽然已学过一些英语语法的基础知识,但缺乏系统性和完整性,本课程的目的就是帮助学生掌握比较系统和完整的传统英语语法知识,并运用语法规律去指导语言实践,提高运用英语的交际能力,本课程除了介绍英语语法的基本结构规律外,还强调理论联系实际。配合足够的口笔头练习,加强语言的基本训练。基本要求是: 1.要学求生对传统英语语法的基本结构规律有一个比较完整明确的概念,把已学过的语言知识系统化。 2.要求学生能较熟练地运用传统英语语法的基本规则去分析讲解各种语法现象,以便在今后的实践中提高自己的业务水平与教学能力。学习英语语法的目的:要回答这个问题,先简要讨论一下要不要学习英语语法的问题。这个问题,答案也许是很清楚的。主张英语语法可以不学的人往往这样说:我们中国人,如果智力正常,从小就会说汉语,能遣词造句,没见过哪个小孩先学语法再学话的。再说,英语讲得多了,有了语感,语法还不是水到渠成的事。这种实践出真知的说法,绝对是正确的。但我仍主张学一点英语语法。本人没受过很好的教育,更不懂高深的语言学理论,但一直有这样的看法:在我们中国,百年都没有营造出正常情况下用正式英语交际的大氛围和小氛围,所以难以在投入产出比符合经济效益的前提下培养出一定的英语语感。语法,实际上就是给你语言整体上的语感(规则),既给你能解释语言现象的鱼,又教你如何用语感去钓语言深层的鱼。何乐而不为呢?说到这,学习英语语法的目的也就清清楚楚了:弥补氛围难以在短期内培养一定语感的缺憾,比较经济地获得英语整体的语感。当然,也为通过我们这个考试大国的众多英语测试提供初级“抱佛脚”的方法。学习英语语法的范围:学习英语语法的范围,指的是学习英语语法需掌握的内容程度。既然我们学习英语语法的目的那么简单实际,到啥山唱啥歌吧。范围不必很大,也就是说面不宜太宽,点也不宜研究太深,毕竟需要用英语说之乎者也的人不多。另外,我认为通过学习英语语法,求得对英语的整体感觉非常重要。有了整体感,可以揭开英语的神秘面纱,知道了对手的模样,就知己知彼了;有了整体感,对语言就有了“君临天下”之气,加之不懈的积累,从掌握语法的必然王国,进而出入语言的自由王国。出于这种考虑,这个讲义编得非常简单,有些方面甚至还不如高中所学的内容,但实用语法的基本脉络比较清晰。学习英语语法的方法:英语语法书很多,学习英语语法的方法也不少。学好一样东西,本没有绝对好的方法。号称包治百病的医生,要么是庸医,要么是骗子。事实上,每个人可以根据自己的实际情况,在不断尝试中摸索出适合自己的方法。依我这个半路出家的人看来,不管用什么方法学英语语法,进而学英语语言,一是要有整体语感,要学会归纳和演绎,由此及彼;三是要借助对母语的了解,琢磨汉语和英语的异同之处,转而进行两种语言之间的由此及彼。比如:学了wish的宾语可以用不定式,可以推理出名词wish的定语、表语也有可能是不定式。是还是不是?一查词典便知。汉语的“讨论”一词用动词短语作宾语,中间一般要加个wh-词,如能说“讨论如何学习英语”,不能说“讨论学习英语”。英语里的discuss用不定式作宾语是否也是如此呢?英语中类似的词是否是同样情况呢?花点时间就解决问题。对语言的分析能力,实际上以对语言的整体语感为基础的,更是以对语言完整的整体语感为目的的。说到底,语言不就是规律和例外的组合吗?!两三年积累下来,你就是语法高手。118
