如何正确处理 JEFC 中语法与听说读写间的关系

河南省温县祥云镇一中 王玉信

九年义务教育英语教学大纲指出:“英语教学要教给学生语音、词汇和语法基础知识,加强基本训练,使学生掌握英语的基本结构。”并且要求“着重培养学生综合运用语音、词汇、语法进行听读写的交际能力”。由此可看出,语法教学对学生是否能综合运用英语知识,更好地听说读写有着直接的影响。

然而,对新大纲的理解和对新编教材中语法知识的处理,有两种想法、做法值得注意:有的同志认为,JEFC 教材主要是通过听说读写来培养学生在实践中的运用能力,不需进行语法教学,否则会导致英语教学的低质量。因此,遇到有关语法现象、语法知识,就灌些概念,敷衍了事,而另有些同志则热衷于分析、讲解语法条文,不顾某些语法是否与教材有关,也不顾听说读写的需要,只要教材中涉及到某一点语法,就滔滔不绝,将它从语法专著中全部照搬到课堂上,讲得细致入微,唯恐漏掉一丝一毫。

以上两种做法都不免失之偏颇。我们应该从我国中学英语教学的目的和条件这个立足点来确定中学英语教学中的语法教学的地位、原则和方法。通过对英语语法知识的学习,从理性上认识语法规律并借以指导语言实践活动,这是无可非议的,是完全必要的。但另一方面,中学英语教学的目的是培养学生运用英语的能力,而不是对英语语言知识的理解与掌握,故不能将语法知识教学当作中学英语教学的主要内容或重要内容,应通过语法教学,

使学生掌握语言的规律,并在听说读写中熟练应用。前些年的英语教学历史告诉我们:教师若领着学生在语法知识的海洋中遨游,死记硬背语法条文, 抛听说读写于一边,则只能将学生培养成“聋子英语”与“哑巴英语”,很难适应我国现代化建设的需要。我们现在已经总结吸取了这方面的经验教训。

新编 JEFC 教材是“功能+结构”的教材,是一套把结构和交际揉合到一起,使“知”与“做”统一的教材,使语法教学的地位服从和服务于培养学生语言实践能力这一总体教学目的,它能使学生通过学习基本语法,更好地进行听说读写等各项语言实践活动,提高综合运用语言的能力。JEFC 教材不再以语法为纲,但它的语法是一条暗线,贯穿始终,既不能细讲,又不能不讲,关键在于教师应该怎样讲,怎样融语法教学与听说读写教学于一体,使“知”与“做”相辅相成。笔者从事英语教学与研究,曾听过一位教师讲课, 他十分恰当地处理了语法与听说读写的关系,使“知”与“做”完美无缺, 且课堂上生动活泼,趣味盎然。兹介绍于后,供借监。

Book 3 Unit 6 Lesson 21 ⅠAims and Requierments

A student:have+past tense.

通过这节课的教学,学生不但能较快、较清楚地认识 “现在完成时”的含义、构成及用法(1),而且能与几个所学时态进行

正确的综合运用。因此,讲语法,不能从概念到概念,而要坚持从感性认识到理性认识,寓概念的理解于实践活动之中,就是说,教师要通过具体的语言事实,运

用直观教学方法,使学生参与进去,启发学生形成正确的认识。

实践与研究表明,英语教学要教给学生语法基础知识,关健在于教师。教师若不能深入学习、理解新大纲的本义,不能深入钻研教材、研究教法, 不能融语法与听说读写于一体,那么,就谈不上英语教学的成功,达不到新大纲的要求,完不成历史赋于教师的光荣任务。
