教/学是学习者与教育者彼此互动的过程,在这一过程中,二语学习者语言已经被定义为“中介语”,则二语教师的语言该如何定义?对此,汉语思想资源中有一个现成的术语:“接引语”。接引语不但可以说是二语教学关系浑然天成的隐喻,更可以说是二语教学过程生动准确的写照。接引语包括“接取”和“引导”。接引语对于二语学习者来说,意味着一种媒介性资源、对象性资源和情感性资源;对于二语教学者来说,意味着模态性迁就、语码性迁就、视听性迁就、结构性迁就、文化性迁就和样板性提升、拓展性提升、动机性提升。中介语是学习者难以跳过的过程,接引语则是教学者自觉的设计。中介语由于接引语的接引而发展,接引语随着中介语的发展而变化,接引语的发展意味着迁就度越来越低而提升力越来越强。中介语研究可以提高接引语的接引能力,而接引语的研究则可以提高中介语的转化速率。

Teaching and learning is a process in which learners and teachers interact with each other. During this process, the language used by L2 learners has been defined as “interlanguage”. Nevertheless, how to define the language used by L2 teachers? To this issue, there is a ready terminology in ideological resources of Chinese, that is “Jie Yin”. “Jie Yin” contains the meaning of “meeting” and “guidance” in Chinese. Meeting and guidance are not only an innate metaphor of the relationship between L2 teaching and L2 learning, but also a vivid portrayal of the process between L2 teaching and L2 learning. In this study, we use “ferry language” to indicate the language used by L2 teachers for meeting with and guiding interlanguage. With regards to L2 learners, ferry Language signifies learning resource which is a combination of medium resources, objective resources and affective resources. While with regards to L2 teachers, ferry language means accommodation and improvement for students. The accommodation of L2 teachers can be categorized into modality accommodation, code accommodation, audiovisuality accommodation, structure accommodation and culture accommodation. The improvement contains model improvement, expansibility improvement and motivation improvement. The evolution of ferry language implies a weaker accommodation degree but stronger improvement power. Using interlanguage is an inevitable process for L2 learners, whereas it is an active and conscious design for L2 teachers. It should be noted that interlanguage and ferry languageare mutually generative. Specifically, interlanguage develops when meeting with ferry language and being guided by ferry language. Additionally, ferry language evolves with the development of interlanguage. Therefore, the study of interlanguage can improve the meeting and guiding competence of ferry language, while the study of ferry language can also promote the advancement of interlanguage’s conversion velocity.
