摘要
本文重点讨论语用为纲在教师培训环节"怎么做"的问题。作为语言学习四大环节之一,教师培训和教学活动是保证语用大纲、课程和教材中所包含的理念落到实处的关键。如何把抽象变具体,把隐性变显性,关键在提供一个可操作的模型,本文介绍的特别课型"语言文化实习课"是这方面的尝试。主要观点包括:(1)在理念上,确认语言结构为手段,语言运用为目的;(2)在教学过程中,确保语用为纲的原则贯穿语言学习的全过程;(3)在实际操作中,不断探索、验证并最后确认行之有效的模式,把语用为纲的原则落到实处。这是在华语二语教学中继测试、课程设置这两个环节之后又一个落实语用为纲理念的操作模式。
This paper focuses on " how to" train teachers so that they are more sensitive to pragmatic factors in language use. In addition to understanding the importance of pragmatic and cultural context in teaching, many teachers would welcome specific guidelines and "models" because they need hands-on practices before they can really follow a pragmatic approach in CSL teaching. The major points made in this paper include(1) the recognition that language use is the aim while knowledge of language structure is the means;( 2) Pragmatic Framework as the guiding principle should be used in all stages of the learning process;( 3) experimental research needs to be carried out in search of specific models for the implementation of the pragmatic principle in teacher training, as well as other key stages( e.g.assessment, curriculum design).

①本文用“华语二语教学”泛指传统的“对外汉语教学”和新兴的“国际汉语教学”。这一领域中不同的群体有不同的背景和理念,所以有近年来所谓的“正名”之争。从语言学和语言教学的角度,借鉴英语二语教学(ESL)的理念和实践,笔者认为用“华语二语教学”(CSL)能比较客观地表达自己的意思。
①第一部分的宏观工作坊包括:(1)华语二语教学面面观(Teaching Chinese as a Second Language:Concepts,trends and directions);(2)语用为纲学汉语(Speaking Chinese:A pragmatic approach)和其他四个与华语二语教学主要环节相关的工作坊。第二、三部分工作坊题目一般与主讲人所教课程有关,每一轮的具体题目与上一轮有所不同,但类别不变。

①COPA:电脑口语水平评核,是Computerized Oral Proficiency Assessment的简称。该测试在美国应用语言学中心汉语模拟口语水平面试(Simulated Oral Proficiency Interview,简称SOPI)的基础上研发,是大规模口语水平评核工具,其特点是把语境因素内化,成为语言任务和评核标准的有机组成部分(详见吴伟平,2008)。
