5.0StrategiesofGrammarTeachingintheCLTFrameworkThegoalofmiddleschoolgrammarteachingisnotonlytomakestudentsmasterthegrammarstructuresbutalsotomakethemcommunicatesuccessfullyusingappropriategrammaticalrules.Asgrammarisnecessaryandimportant,teachersshouldadoptflexiblewaystopromotegrammarteaching.5.1CreatingAuthenticSituationsInordertomakestudentslearngrammarmoreeasily,teacherscancreateauthenticsituationstopresentgrammaticalpoints.Thesituationcanbeauthenticorsemi-authenticbutshouldbeclosetostudents’life.5.1.1MakingFullUseoftheClassroomIfitisnecessaryandavailable,teacherscanmakefulluseoftheclassroom.Forexample,whenpresenting“therebe”structure,theteachercandescribetheclassroomusingthefollowingsentences:Thereisablackboardinourclassroom.Therearefourwindowsinourclassroom.Therearetwodoorsinourclassroom.Thereisaboxonthedesk.Now,studentsmayrealizethefunctionandthemeaningofthisstructure,andthentheteachermayencouragestudentstodiscovertherulesbythemselves.Next,theteachermakessomecorrectionsandassuresthestudents’guesseswithproperstructure.Finally,theteacherencouragesstudentstodescribetheirbedroomsordrawingroomswiththelearnedstructure.5.1.2CreatingAuthenticSituationsWithPicturesTherearemanypicturesinEnglishtextbooks,sotheteachercanmakefulluseofthesepicturestocarryouttheteachingprocess.Thepicturescangivestudentsalivelyimpression.Forexample,iftheteacherwantstoteachthepresentcontinuoustensetothe

Whenthegameisfinished,theteachermayasktwoquestions:(1)Whathappenedtothecustomer?(2)Whathappenedtothechief?Thenthestudentswillansweractively:“Herpursewasstolen,thethiefwasbeingchased.”Atlast,theteachersummariestheruleandfunctionofthepassivevoiceofthepastprogressiveaspect.5.2.2DiscussionandDebateDiscussionsanddebatesaremeaningfulcommunicativeactivities,inwhichstudentscanexchangeopinionsfreelyandillustratetheirownviewsinthetargetlanguage.However,itislikelytobesuccessfulforupper-intermediateandadvancedlevellearners.Besides,theteachermaymakesomechangesbystartingwithsomecontrolledpractice,andthenleadtheworkintomorecommunicativeactivities.Hereisanexample.First,theteachertellsstudentstowritedownthesentencehereads.Howdoyouthinksmokinginpublicplaces?(Possibly,it’sthefocusofthetextthathasjustbeenlearned.)Second,theteachertellsstudentstorewritethesentencetosuittheirideas.Forexample,Ithinksmokinginpublicplacesshouldbebannedbecauseitisharmfulfornon-smokers.It’shisrightforanyonetodecidewherehesmokes.Thebanonsmokinginpublicplacesistakentooseriously.Third,theteacherreadsorwritessomeofthesentences,givingstudentsadequatetimetowritetheirown.Fourth,theteacheraskssomestudentstoreadtheirwritingandwritesomesentenceswhicharecontroversialastopicsofdiscussionontheblackboard.Fifth,theteacherdividesstudentsintogroups,lettingthemdogroupworkbydiscussingthem.Lastly,whenfinishingthis,everygrouphasaspokesmantomakeamini-speechonthetopic.Discussionsanddebateswillbeveryusefulinteachingreadingandwriting.Somestudentsoftenfeelrefrainedwhentheycometowritingessays.Forexample,theydo notknowhowtobeginortheyhavelittleinformationaboutthetopicforthetimebeing,whereassomestudentsmayknowalotaboutthetopicbutthereisnocentralideaintheirworkorthecentralideaisawayfromtherequirement.Therefore,throughdiscussion,theformer’sviewswillbebroadenedandthelatter’sviewswillbeinorder.5.3TeachingGrammarinDiscourseInthetraditionalclassroom,grammaticalpointsareoftenintroducedinsinglesentenceswhicharenotsetinspecificdiscourses.Whatisworse,toillustratesomeitems,someteachersoftenfabricatesomesentencesrarelyusedinauthenticcommunication.However,writtensentencesinspecificdiscoursesarejustlikespokenutterancesindailycommunicationinwhichtheirmeaningsofsentencesaredeterminedbythecontext.Therefore,theexamplesusedbymostteachersinthepastcutofftherelationbetweengrammaticalrulesandfunctions.Teachinggrammarindiscoursewillstrengthenstudents’awarenessofdiscourseandmakethemrealizedthatgrammaticalrulesarenotonlyinfluencedbysinglesentencesbutalsoaffectedbythediscourse.Forexample,whenintroducingthepassivevoiceofpresenttense,theteachermayhavestudentsreadthefollowingessays:Whichlanguageisspokenbythelargestnumberofpeopleintheworld?Ofcourse,theanswerisChinese.Butwhichlanguageisthemostwidelyspokenintheworld?TheanswerisEnglish,EnglishisspokenasafirstlanguagebymostpeopleintheUS,GreatBritain,Canada,AustraliaandNewZealand.Butitisalsousedverywidelyasaforeignlanguageinmanyothercountriesintheworld.Afterreadingtheabovepassage,studentswillrealizethatthepassivesentencesarenotjustthetransformationofactivesentences,buttheyarealsotheresultoftheinfluencesofthediscoursetopic(GaoQiangandZhaoNa,2007).However,thediscourseselectedshouldbemeaningful,interestingandcomprehensible,andthetopicshouldbeup-todateandrelevanttostudents’reallife,sothematerialcanstimulatestudents’interestandtheirdesiretostudy. 5.4MakingOldThingsNewManyprofessors(EditorialBoardofForeignLanguageTeachingandResearchinBasicEducation,2007)advocatethattraditionalproceduresmaynotberejectedabsolutelybutcouldbereinterpretedandextended.ThehistoryofEnglishteachingisverylonginChina,andEnglishteachershaveaccumulatedexcellentexperienceinteachinggrammar,whichshouldnotbeoverlooked.Forexample,patterndrillwasoneofthemajorwaystoteachgrammarandonceprovedtobeveryeffectiveinEnglishteachinginChina.However,withthepopularizationofCLTinrecentyears,ithasbecomeatargetofattack,becausetherepeatedtrainingofasentencepatternisfarbeyondrealcommunication.Buttheteachercangoonestepfurthertomakepatterndrillscommunicative.Paulston(1976,quotedfromRivers,1983:56)groupsdrillsintomechanicaldrills,meaningfuldrillsandcommunicativedrills,whichcanbringnewmeaningtotheteachingofgrammarinourcountry.Inmechanicaldrills,thereiscompletecontroloftheresponsessothatstudentsdonotevenneedtounderstandthedrilltoproducethecorrectresponse(asinsimplesubstitutiondrills).Paulston(1976,quotedfromRivers,1983:58)suggeststhatifanonsensewordcanbeinsertedaseffectivelybythestudentsasameaningfulword,thenthedrillisoneofthemechanicaltypes.Forexample:Pattern:Iamholdingabook.Cue:Magazine.Response:Iamholdingamagazine.Cue:BananaResponse:Iamholdingabanana.Inmeaningfuldrills,thereisstillcontroloftheresponses(althoughitmaybecorrectlyexpressedinmorethanoneway),butstudentscannotcompletethedrillwithoutfullyunderstandingwhattheyaresaying.Thefollowingisanexampleofmeaningfuldrill:Question:whendidyouarrivethismorning?
