明示语法教学与暗示语法教学讨论

近年来语法在外语教学中的地位再次引起了人们的普遍关注。有人主张以明示的方式进行语法教学,也有人主张以暗示的方式进行语法教学。总之,仁者见仁,智者见智。文中着重讨论了明示性(explicit)语法教学和暗示性(implicit)语法教学的理论背景及各自的主张,并认为:明示性语法教学强调语言的形式,却有忽视语言的意义及使用倾向;暗示性语法强调的是语言的意义及其使用的环境,但却忽视语言使用的准确性。最好的办法是综合两种观点,明示与暗示相结合。

A discussion on explicit and implicit grammar instructions

In recent years, the role of grammar in foreign language teaching and learning has once again aroused researchers' attention. Some hold that grammar should be taught implicitly, while others believe that an explicit approach would be more effective. In view of the different perspectives about grammar instruction, this paper dwells upon the linguistic theories of both implicit and explicit grammar instruction in an attempt to find cues for the development of grammar instruction in TEFL.
