摘要:高三语法复习是高三英语教学的重要组成部分。如何在有限的时间里提高英语语法复习的有效性,帮助学生获得英语二卷的高分?本文将三维语法教学置身于高中英语语法教学真实情境,运用实证研究法,旨在有效提高高考英语全国卷二卷的分数。

 

关键词:三维语法,语法技能,定语从句,高考二卷

 

一、引言

语法不仅是一种知识,更是一种技能, 体现为语义、语形和语用“三维性”特征。Leibure曾经这样说,语言是通过实践获得的,而语法使语言更加完美。语言是表情达意的工具,而语法可以使思想更具条理。因此英语教学应该优化语法,而不是淡化语法。

美国著名语言学家Larsen-Freeman(2002)提出了以“形式、意义和使用”为内容和以“语法技能”为目标的“三维语法”。也就是说在语法学习中,学生不仅要了解语言的形式,即语法项目的变化规则,也要弄清该语言形式在具体语境中的意义,更要明白如何在具体情境中使用该语言形式。于润清(2013)指出,将三维语法应用于高中语法教学能促进学生语法学习,不仅能提高学习成绩,还能使学生意识到语法的趣味性和实用性。依据《普通高中英语课程标准(实验)》(以下简称《课标(实验)》),高中英语课程的总目标是培养学生的综合语言运用能力(教育部,2003)。既然三维语法对教学有益,也符合《课标(实验)》培养学生语言运用能力的总体要求,如何将其科学有效地运用于高三英语语法复习和提高学生高考二卷的成绩?本文结合定语从句这一语法项目和2016年高考英语全国卷二卷的题目,深入探讨三维语法指导下,教师如何具体讲形式、意义和使用三者有机结合统一以及具体实践操作中的主要注意事项,目的使学生不仅复习了语法知识,更能够在高考试卷二卷中提高自己的得分。

 

二、三维语法的基本内涵

 

Larsen-Freeman(2007:25-26)认为,对语法结构的语用不仅要求形式正确,还要求有意义(语义学)和得体(语用学)。如图1,她将语法看作形式、意义和使用三个维度。她认为语言形式涉及音位学,形态学和句法学;意义涉及的是非语境化中词汇和语法意义;使用则考虑人们在特定语境中用该语言所传达的意图,这三个维度分别对应着三个问题(如图 2 ): 形式对应的是这个语言单位是如何构成的?(正确性);意义对应的是这个结构表达什么意思?(有意性);而使用则对应的是何时用?为什么要这样用?(得体性)。值得注意的是:两幅图中的双向箭头,这充分说明三个维度彼此不是孤立存在,而是缺一不可,紧密联系,相互影响,共同作用于语法范畴。

2 三维的解释

 

Larsen-Freemen(2009)挑战了

FROM

How is it formed?

 

 

 

传统的语法观,创造了语法

MEANING

What does it mean?

 

 

 

技能(grammaring)这一术语,

她认为语法技能是继听、说、读、

写这四种技能之外的第五项技能,

PRAGMANTICS

When/Why is it used?

 

 

 

是准确地使用语法结构合乎情景地表达

意义的能力。语法教学时一种动态的过程,

而不是静态的,其目标不能限于了解语言系统,

而是要帮助学生在正确、有意义的基础上,恰当地使用语法,使学生获取语法技能,进而提高学生综合运用语言的能力。

 

三、三维语法框架下高三英语语法复习之定语从句

语法的三维性体现了语法自身的特征,同时又规定了语法的教学内容的三个层次,进而衍生出能充分反映语法“三维”特征和语法教学的三个层次的“三维”语法教学法。语法的教学的“三维性”是通过教学过程的三个步骤体现的,这三个步骤可概括为简明呈现,有效训练和良好的输出。

(一)简明呈现

“简明”包括两层含义,一是语法呈现简单易懂,呈现语法项目是要以旧带新,承前启后,释之以例,简明扼要,易于理解,便于掌握;而是语言力求言简意赅。

二语习得研究者认为,学习者语法的发展源于对目的语特点的假设。就外语学习者而言, 这种假设更多是基于认知加工而做出的推断。教学中常用的推理方式有两种:一是演绎法,而是归纳法。在实际教学中把两种方法结合使用,互相补充,教学效果会更好。

(二)有效训练

通过不同形式的练习活动对所授语法项目进行有效训练,其目的在于引导学习者在理解的基础上达到熟练应用的程度,为实现输出的自动化做准备。语法练习是为了到达熟练应用和自动化的目的,而熟练应用的标准表现为正确性和流利性。实现正确性和流利性的练习方法有两种:一是机械操练,也叫控制性操练;二是意义训练。

(三)良好输出

输出练习就是实际生活中的说,写练习。Swain(1985, 1983)把输出的功能总结为四个方面:(1)增强流利性。输出可以提供机会对已有的语言资源进行有意义的练习,使表达更流畅。(2)对差别引起注意。在理解语言时候,人们常常只使用语义信息,但是在输出时学习者会遇到形式方面的问题,输出可以使学习者注意到自己语言和目的语之间的差别。(3)对于目的语的形式和结构进行检验。(4)促使学习者对语言形式进行反思。

下面结合定语从句在高三英语语法复习课的课堂实例中说明这三个阶段即呈现阶段——简明呈现;训练阶段——有效训练和使用阶段——良好输出,。

 

具体课例:三维语法框架下的高三英语语法复习课之定语从句

(一)目标语法的呈现阶段

1. 有意义的导入

授课开始,教师通过让学生进行一个性格测试The Birth-Order Theory of Personality Development ---- A Test,激起学生的好奇心。学生在完成测试了解自己性格的同时,自然获取了定语从句的相关知识。首先让学生翻译测试中选项的句子意义,进而过渡到定语从句,以此由浅入深的进行导入,既可以使学生快速进入课堂学习的状态,又能调动学生参与课堂的积极性,提高学习效率,同时也成功地导入了定语从句这一语法项目。

Complete the sentences by circling the letter, a or b, of the choice that describes you better.

1. I am someone who ____.

a. doesn’t like much change     b. likes new experiences

2. Other people see me as somebody who __.

a. is self-confident    b. is a little insecure

3. I am the type of person who ___.
a. tries to dress and act as others do  b. tries to dress and act differently

4. In my work or studies, I’m the kind of person that ____.

a. likes to be practical and realistic   b. likes to be imaginative and creative

5. I am the person who ___.

a. enjoys being a leader     b. isn’t interested in being a leader

6. Politically, I see myself as someone that __.

a. wants to keep things the same   b. wants to change things

7. I am the type of person that ___.

a. usually follows rules    b. is sometimes willing to bend or break rules.

 

According to the birth-order theory, firstborns tend to be practical and follow rules, while laterborns are more likely to be creative and willing to bend or break rules.

If you circled a 4 or more times, you show the personality characteristics of a firstborn child; if you circled b 4 or more times, you show the characteristics of a laterborn child. (An only child usually has characteristics similar to those of a firstborn.)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 


2. 简明呈现,小组合作和教师点拨

再导入知识点之后,由学生来回答定语从句的相关概念,结构和解题技巧,同时老师进行适当的补充,为后续定语从句之解题技巧做好铺垫。

定语从句

the Attributive Clause\the Adjective Clause\the Relative Clause

概念

在复合句中,用来修饰前面的名词或代词的从句,叫做定语从句或形容词性从句。

结构

名词或代词(先行词)+ 关系词(代词或副词)+定语从句

技巧

把先行词放回定语从句中,看它在定语从句中做什么成分,再选择合适的关系代词或副词。

公式

类别

指代对象

在句子中做的成分

whose=of whom

which

whose= of which

人或物

that

as

注意

Ø         whose 做定语,人和物都可以用。

Ø         as 人物都可以指代,作宾语不省略,习惯搭配such…as, the same…as, 非限制性定语从句中指代整个句子,句首或句中。

Ø         that 不用与非限制性定语从句中。

注意

Ø         why 不用与非限制性定语从句中。

Ø         如果表示时间、地点、原因和方式的先行词做定语从句的谓语动词的主语或宾语时候,应用thatwhich.

 

(二)语法的有效训练阶段

这种训练不是机械式的模仿与操作,而是在真实的,具体的情境下,将形式和意义结合统一,有效的训练。在本节课的定语从句复习中,教师找到十个切入点即定语从句知识的难点和易错点,结合高考练习让学生在练习中学会归纳和概括。整节复习课又是贯穿着小组竞赛,学生在碰到难点时候可以互相讨论和帮助,在进行技巧归纳时能够用自己的语言总结出通俗易懂的定语从句的解题方法。这种有意义而不是机械的练习使学生有效地掌握了目标语法项目。

(三)语法的良好输出即综合使用阶段

根据三维语法,学生需要将定语从句的形式和意义融合与使用当中。这一阶段,形式、意义和使用高度统一,形式和意义为使用服务,同时使用巩固形式和意义。而写作和口语是英语学习者综合语言运用能力中不可分割的重要部分,是语言输出的主要途径,也是语言生成能力的重要表现形式。所以,要积极鼓励学生将所学的定语从句口头表达出来并运用到写作中。

因此教师在语言输出部分,先通过高考二卷的语法填空和短文改错,强化提高学生的考试技能。接着进而用名言的作用,引导学生在写作当中背诵定语从句的名言,并且学会使用定语从句来表达写作的要点。

提升训练一、2016高考卷二卷真题定语从句

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

提升训练二、定语从句的写作练习

一、定语从句的名言

1.         The laughter is the sun that drives winter from the human face.  —— Victor Hugo

2.         He that make others happy is truly happy. 与人同乐,其乐真乐。

3.         He that shoots often shall at last hit the mark. 功到自然成。

4.         I love the man that can smile in trouble, that can gather strength from distress and grow brave by reflection. 我喜欢那种在困境中微笑,从忧伤中获得力量,通过反思变得勇敢的人。

5.         Friendship is a plant which must be often watered. 友谊之树要常浇水。

6.         He who makes no mistakes makes nothing. 不犯错误的人一事无成。

 

二、Combine the following sentences, using attributive clause and some conjunctions.

l         Li Hua is a student.   

l         She is a girl.

l         She is 16.    

l         Her dad is a teacher.

l         Her mother is a teacher, too.

l         She is our monitor.

l         She is very strict with us.

l         This makes us angry.

l         We all like her.

Li Hua, a girl student of 16, whose parents are both teachers, is our monitor. She is very strict with us, which makes us angry, but we all like her.

四、结束语

    语法的“三维性”决定了语法教学内容的三维性, 进而衍生出与之相适应的“三维语法”教学法。三维语法教学对教学资源的要求不高,具有广泛的可操作性。它不要求改变教材中语法的布局,不会打乱正常的教学计划,符合英语学习者的学习特点,适应外语环境下的英语教学实际。三维语法教学是个动态的过程,其动态性要求教学步骤和教学手段相应具有灵活性。

在高三英语复习的第一轮有效地把三维语法教学和高考卷二卷的习题有效结合,既可以提高二卷语法填空和短文改错的正确率,同时也可以在写作方面得到提高。为了实现语法的有效复习,教师需要加强三维语法理论知识的学习,尤其不能孤立三维,只聚焦形式或聚焦意义,要正确树立三维间内在相互影响相互作用。教师可以设计贴近学生生活实际的例句和丰富多样的教学活动让学生在使用语法,有意识地培养学生的语法技能。
