An Experimental Study On The Application Of The Production-oriented Approach In Junior High School English Grammar Teaching

Grammar is the foundation of language learning and the premise of meaningful communication.Therefore,grammar teaching not only needs to cultivate learners’ language knowledge,but also needs to cultivate learners’ ability to use grammar.In junior high school,teachers usually neglect to guide learners to cultivate the ability to produce knowledge in the situation in grammar teaching,so that learners only acquire inert knowledge and lack the ability of language communication.The Production-oriented Approach is a theoretical system proposed by Professor Wen Qiufang to solve the disadvantage of "separation of learning and use" of foreign language learners.The purpose of this research is to apply the Production-oriented Approach to English grammar teaching in junior high school,and to explore its influence on learners’ grammar ability and interest in grammar learning.It is expected to provide a new grammar teaching case for junior high school English teachers to improve the effect of grammar teaching.In order to achieve the research purpose,this study selected 47 students from the third grade of M Middle School in Beitun,Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region as subjects,including 24 in the experimental group and 23 in the control group.The research adopts educational experiment method and test method to explore the feasibility and effectiveness of Production-oriented Approach in junior high school English grammar teaching,so as to verify the effect of this method on cultivating the grammatical form,meaning and usage ability of the subjects;With the help of questionnaire survey and interview method,this thesis explores the influence of English grammar teaching in junior high school under the Production-oriented Approach on the subjects’ interest in grammar learning.On this basis,this study intends to answer the following two questions: First,what effect does grammar teaching under the Production-oriented Approach have on the grammatical ability of the subjects? This question includes three sub-questions: What is the impact of Production-oriented Approach teaching on the grammatical form,grammatical meaning,and grammatical use ability of the subjects? Second,what is the impact of grammar teaching under the Production-oriented Approach on the subjects’ interest in grammar learning? This question includes four sub-questions: What is the impact of grammar teaching under the Production-oriented Approach on the subjects’ grammar learning emotion,value,knowledge,and participation?Through the eight-week educational experiment,the researcher analyzed the collected data with the help of SPSS25.0,and came to the following conclusions: First,from the results of the grammar test paper,compared with the traditional grammar teaching(PPP),the grammar teaching under the Production-oriented Approach has a significant effect on the development of the subjects’ grammar ability.Specifically,grammar teaching under the Production-oriented Approach has a significant advantage in improving the subject’s understanding of grammatical meaning and the appropriateness of grammar use,but has no significant advantage in improving the accuracy of the subject’s grammatical form.Second,from the results of the questionnaire survey and interview,it can be seen that compared with the traditional grammar teaching(PPP),grammar teaching under the Production-oriented Approach has a positive impact on improving the interest of the subjects in grammar learning.Specifically,grammar teaching under the Production-oriented Approach has significant advantages in the influence of the subjects’ attitude towards the value of grammar learning,knowledge mastery and participation enthusiasm,but there is no significant difference in the influence of the subjects on the emotion of grammar learning.After the experiment,according to the experimental process and the results of experimental data analysis,the researcher draws three inspirations for English grammar teaching in junior high school under the Production-oriented Approach: First,rationally design tasks to achieve efficient motivating.In the motivating,teachers need to design reasonable communicative scenarios to encourage learners to try to complete communicative activities and generate learning desires.Second,teachers should make rational use of teaching materials and determine the order of acquisition of grammatical abilities in the enabling.Before the implementation of grammar teaching,teachers should design a teaching process that matches the cognitive level of students according to the textbook to help students acquire it.Third,teachers need to enrich the evaluation methods,urge students to pay attention to the three dimensions of the form,meaning and use of target grammar,and combine the input of grammar knowledge with the output of grammar ability.
