The Study On Function-items And Scene-items In Primary Spoken Chinese Textbooks

In the process of the development of teaching Chinese as a foreign language, the construction of the teaching material has been in a vital position. In recent years, the materials broke the situation that teachers and writers attached great importance to the structure, and pay more attention to the combination of structure, function and scene. But, how to arrange the function-items and scene-items and how to combine them reasonably in order to get the best effect is still a problem. This paper inspects and analyzes the function-items and scene-items in the material, in order to provide some opinions and suggestions for the material-writing and the outline-researching.We select three typical primary spoken textbooks, and statistic the number of the function-items and scene-items in the textbooks. Then, we inspect the two items according to the Function-outline, Scenario-outline, the needs of learners and other reference standard. Finally, we provide opinions and suggestions to the material-writing and outline-researching. Meanwhile, this paper concludes the ratio of function-items covering scene-items and the ratio of scene-items adapting to function-items, on the basis of the data, we induce how to match the typical function-items with the typical scene-items which is very valuable for material-writing.The study is conducted as the following seven sections. The first chapter is a general introduction about the significance, respondents and researching methods of the study. In the second chapter, we instruct the theoretical directions, including the teaching methods of the functionalist, the theory of speech act and social constructivism theory, and the present situation of research. In the third chapter, we investigate the learners in order to learn how they need the two items. According to the obtained data, we make the table of the demand of learners for the function-items and scene-items. In the fourth and fifth chapter, we investigate the two items in the three textbooks. For the function, we investigate the amount of items, the average in each lesson, the order of the main items and what kind of items is taken seriously. For the scene, we investigate the amount of items, what kind of items is taken seriously, communication activities and role. Then, we put forward targeted suggestions for the materials and outlines. In the sixth chapter, we discuss the problem of how to combine the function-items with scene-items in the materials which is the innovation of this article. Then, we induce how to match the typical function-items with the typical scene-items. When we write the textbooks, we can refer to it. In order to display how to combine the two items in the materials, we design a small text. Chapter seven summarizes the main ideas of this study.
