东南大学硕士学位论文新课标下基于“聚焦于形”理论的高中英语语法教学模式实证研究--以《牛津高中英语》(译林江苏版)为例姓名:李燕燕申请学位级别:硕士专业:外国语言文学;外国语言学及应用语言学指导教师:侯旭20110306 中文摘要语法问题是任何从事外语教学的教师和研究人员都无法回避的话题。语法教学的作用与地位始终在外语教学界颇具争议,不同的历史时期表现出不同的主流认识,大致经历了由尊崇到摒弃再到理性认识的发展过程。在我国,尽管目前对于语法教学还有不同的认识,但是,从国际上外语教学的总体情况来看,语法教学的重要性和必要性已经得到普遍的认同。面对新一轮基础教育课程改革的大好形势,随着<牛津高中英语》新课标教材的使用和任务型语言教学法的推广,片面强调语法的作用或片面侧重交际能力培养的现象已有很大的好转,但并没彻底消失。如何克服以上两种极端,探讨适合我国国情、学情的高中英语语法教学的有效途径和方法,利用{:牛津高中英语》新教材这一桥梁以及新课标的总目标的要求,把两者有机地结合起来,提高学生准确运用语言进行交际的能力,是高中英语教师教学和科研的一个重大课题。在这种情况下探索语法教学的新思路是摆在广大英语教师面前的一个紧迫任务。鉴于此,本研究以江苏《牛津高中英语》为个案,从课堂教学因素的视角出发,在“聚焦于形"(focusOnform)理论的指导下,拟提出具有一定科学性、可行性的课堂语法教学思路或模式,以探究每个入选语法项目的生成和教学过程,不断优化课堂语法教学策略并灵活运用各种方法进行不同的语法项目教学。此模式以“聚焦于形”(focusonform)理论为理论依据,通过文献阅读法、问卷调查和访谈探讨英语教师如何立足课堂教学情境,利用现代教学媒体,结合牛津高中英语教材的灵活使用更好地优化课堂语法教学,并通过实证研究探究其有效性和可行性。笔者以连云港市东海高级中学08级两个自然班为实验对象,其中实验班58人,控制班61人。在为期四个月的语法教学实验过程中,在控制班以传统的“3P"讲练结合为主,而在实验班则以基于“聚焦于形"理论指导下的新语法教学模式进行教学。其后测结果表明实验班的语法学习效果较为明显地好于控制班,同时,后测问卷也表明,基于“聚焦于形"理论指导下的新语法教学模式为多数同学所接受。这证明了采用“聚焦于形"理论指导下的新语法教学模式能够激发学生学习语法的兴趣和积极性,对从事高中英语语法教学的一线教师具有一定的指导和借鉴意义。关键词:语法教学;“聚焦于形”;牛津高中英语Ⅱ
