随着经济全球化的发展,语言也出现了“全球化”现象,即英语在世界范围内的广泛使用。英语不仅仅是过去课堂上的学习科目,俨然成为各国之间的经济、文化、政治等方面的交流桥梁。在全球化的趋势下,英语的交流实用性逐渐突显,交流过程中的“可理解性”正在取代传统教学中所强调的语言表达“准确性”。ELF(English as lingua franca),即英语通用语,成为近年来国际上语言研究的新热点,并逐渐从一种语言现象发展为新的独立研究领域。本文基于ELF的理论框架,对传统英语教学,即EFL(English as foreign language)理念中认为的“口语石化”现象进行分析研究,并就英语教学方面提出建议。
As the economic globalization is deepening, there appears a tendency of “linguistic globalization”, i.e. the worldwide use of Englishes. English is not only the subject in class, not also serves as the connecting belt among the exchanges among countries. Under such circumstance, the communicative role of English is becoming more and more salient, the “comprehensibility” in communication is gradually replacing the “correctiveness” of linguistic expression which is emphasized in traditional foreign language teaching. ELF (English as lingua franca) has been the emerging “hot spot” in recent linguistic research, and it is evolving from an extensive linguistic practice into an independent research field, forming its own theory. This study will re-analyze the “Oral Fossilization” in traditional EFL (English as foreign language), from this special perspective: ELF. In the end, suggestions and implications for English teaching will be given.
