4、s for future growth.Knowing the historical context is helpful to an understanding of language teaching theories.(76 Stern)11 Expected products from history study1.A descriptive record of the development of language pedagogy in the past.2.A store of ideas,experiences and practices would be accumulate

5、d which would otherwise be lost and would have to laboriously rediscovered in succeeding generations.(76 Stern)12 points to note1.Each stage has its goal of foreign language teaching and learning.This goal has been the decisive factor on the conceptualization and adoption of methods and techniques.2

6、.History is continuous.The present has evolved from the past,which provides the reason and value for history review.3.Current questions in language teaching are not particular new.(a ready metaphor is“love”13 A metaphor to help understanding LOVEIt is primitive,old,eternal,fundamental.However,each g

43、 core of 2,000 words or so through frequency counts,which were in fact the first attempts to establish principles of syllabus design in lg teaching.75 Grammar controlPalmer viewed gr as the underlying sentence patterns of the spoken language.The Applied Linguists analyzed English and classified its

44、major grammatical structures into sentence patterns(substitution tables)Eg.ALD of Current English(1953)A Handbook of English Grammar(1945)Guide to Patterns and Usage in English (1954)76 Main Characteristics1.Lg teaching begins with the spoken lag.Material is taught orally before it is presented in w

45、ritten form.2.The target lag is the lag of the classroom.3.New lg points are introduced and practiced situationally.4.Vocabulary selection procedures are followed to ensure that an essential general service vocabulary is covered.5.Items of grammar are graded following the principle that simple forms

46、 shd be taught before complex ones.6.Reading and writing are introduced once a sufficient lexical and grammatical basis is established.77 Theory of language:British Structuralism1.Speech was the basis of lg2.Structure was at the heart of speaking ability.3.Structures shd be presented and practiced i

47、n situation.78 Its Distinctive Feature British“Structuralism”:lg was viewed as purposeful activity related to goals and situations in the real world.(meaning/context/situation)Knowledge of structures must be linked to situations in which they could be used.79 Theory of lg1.Behaviorist habit-learning

48、 theory.It addresses primarily the processes rather than the conditions of learning.receiving memorize use skill2.Inductive approach to the teaching of grammar.80 Practice Task1.Study the design and procedure.2.Select a unit from a text book based on the approach and teach the content according.(mic

49、ro-teaching to classmates and recorded)3.Organize discussion and comments around the presentation.81 ObjectivesTo teach a practical command of the four basic skills of lg.1.Accuracy in voca.gra.2.Errors to be avoided.3.Automatic control of baisc structures and patterns,which is achieved through spee
