Study On The Teaching Of Comparative Sentences In Textbooks

The Teaching of Chinese as a Foreign Language hasn’t formed a set of feasible ways of teaching grammatical rules. Scholars are still actively exploring how to teach the grammar of each item. Comparative sentences play an important role in teaching the grammar system, which failed to find enough reference from previous researches. From the perspective of teaching comparative sentences, this paper investigates two sets of well-received textbooks, analyzes the selection and sequencing of grammatical items, grammar explanations and related exercise arrangement, and then proposes the author’s view, providing some valuable references to the arrangement of comparative sentences in textbooks, and aiming at enhancing the teaching effects.This paper is divided into four parts. The first part reviews the research of comparative sentences, which summarizes the achievements and the limitations of the current study from two angles. The second part presents the situation of the selection and sequencing of comparative sentences in two sets of well-received textbooks according to the selected 20 sentences. On the basis of the data, the paper put forward reasonable suggestions. The third part observes the teaching models of comparative sentences and makes a specific analysis of the explanation of grammar and provides improving advice. The forth part collects the statistics of exercises, analyzes four types of questions in details, and then proposes the view that textbooks should increase the amount of practical and effective communicative exercises.
