| With the development of linguistics, psychology, as well as pedagogy, multifarious second-language teaching approaches have been coming out in an unending flow since the20th century. And from the beginning of the1980s, as teaching Chinese as a foreign language saw great progress, an increasing number of second-language teaching techniques have been applied to the actual use of that.Growing Participator Approach to Language Learning, all the vogue in North America, possesses its own instructional theories, which frames the process of mother tongue acquisition in one’s early childhood as the primary pattern, fosters the capacity of listening, speaking, comprehending as well, and takes the sociality of language as the main focus, and emphasizes the language cognition as an evolutionary process, stairs-shaped, composed of six phrases, each of which is diverse in means and aims of activities, simultaneously, however, interlocked and transitional, to get the learners fully integrated into the target language community.Here, in this thesis, a comparative analysis of Chinese-vocabulary-teaching in its infancy, between Growing Participator Approach to Language Learning and other second language teaching methods, will be conducted, with some improvements approached. It, as well, pursues how to serve the purpose of exploiting the advantages from both of them in vocabulary-teaching back home, easpecially the flexible mode of the former one, in an attempt to furnish the subject of teaching Chinese as a foreign language domestic and overseas with a finite enlightment. |
