2、he linguists believe that to a large extent, made a study of language in order to understand the classic works of ancient times and to be able to teach students, enabling them to understand and appreciate those classic works. They argued that the written form of language was superior to the spoken f

3、orm and took words as their starting point to use language correctly. The most influential method is the Grammar-Translation Method (GTM,编辑课件,1.2 American structuralism,The two forerunners of it were Franz Boas( an anthropologist 人类学家) and Edward Sapir. Leonard Bloomfield, a linguist in America, is

4、regarded as the father of American structuralism. He characterized language and language acquisition in terms of behaviorist terminology. For him, a language was a habit of verbal behavior which consists of a series of stimuli and responses. He argued that to acquire a language was to form habit of

5、verbal behavior and learning a second language was learning a new habit. He believed that the purpose of language was speech and speech was primary and writing was secondary,编辑课件,The most influential method is Audio-lingual method. The structural view of language sees language as a linguistic system

6、 made up of various subsystems: the sound system (phonology语音学); the different units of meaning produced by sound combination( morphology词素) and the system of combining units of meaning for communication (syntax句法). To learn a language means to learn these structural items to be able to understand a

7、nd produce language,编辑课件,1.3 Transformational generative linguistics by Noam Chomsky,He believed that it would be difficult for the structuralisms to explain why children acquire their first language in a few years and why the same structure can be used to express different meanings and different st

8、ructures can be used to express the same meaning. He assumes that children are born with a language acquisition device (LAD,编辑课件,Language Acquisition Device (LAD,LAD is made up of a set of general principles called universal grammar (UG). These general principles can be applied to all the languages

9、in the world. Once the child is born, the particular language environment will trigger the LAD. Noam Chomsky assumes that the child will make hypotheses on their basis of the general principles, then he will test the hypotheses against the actual language data. He has also made the distinction betwe

10、en linguistic competence and linguistic performance,编辑课件,Linguistic competence refers to the internalized knowledge of the language that a native speaker of that language possesses. It includes the ability to understand and produce an infinite number of sentences, to detect ambiguity contained in se

11、ntences, to tell whether a sentence is grammatical or not, to understand the internal structure of sentences, to detect paraphrases,编辑课件,Linguistic performance means the actual utterances produced by the native speakers. The native speaker may make mistakes or errors in his performance, but this doe

12、s not mean that he has not got the ability to produce grammatical sentences. In short word, he holds the position that linguistic should study the linguistic competence, not performance try to set up a system of rules that will generate an infinite number of grammatical sentences of the language. He

13、 is interested in the mental process and he was called a nativist 先天论者,编辑课件,1.4 Functional linguistics,The functional linguistics develops directly from the London School of Linguistic and the anthropologist, Bronislaw Malinowski. He realized that it was very difficult to translate the native words

14、and expressions into English. To understand an utterance, he had to resort to other sorts of knowledge like the situation in which the utterance was spoken, and the proper setting of native culture. Therefore, he arrived at the conclusion that “ the meaning of any single word is to a very high degre

15、e dependent on its context (1923:306) and an utterance has no meaning at all if it is out of the context of situation,编辑课件,In the 1960s, British linguist proposed a syllabus based on communicative function. It not only sees language as a linguistic system but also a means for doing things such as of

16、fering, suggesting, advising, apologizing, likes or dislikes, etc. Therefore, learners learn a language to be able to do things with it and perform functions. Learners need to know how to combine the grammatical rules and the vocabulary to express notions that perform functions. The most influential

17、 method is the Communicative Approach,编辑课件,1.5 Interactional view,It considers language to be a communicative tool, whose main use is to build up and maintain social relations between people. Therefore, learners not only know the grammar and vocabulary of the language but as importantly they need to

18、 know the rules for using them in a whole range of communicative contexts. The most influential method is “ Task-based Instruction,编辑课件,Teachers roles,controller, assessor, organizer, prompter / facilitator, participant, resource-provider/developer, counselor, adviser, sponsor, coach, trainer, role

Ellis (1991,编辑课件,The post-task phase,Three major pedagogical goals: -提供再做任务的机会（to provide an opportunity
