The Comparative Analysis On The Grammar Items In Preliminary Textbooks

The research of “teaching method”,“teachers” and “teaching material” gathers increasing attention from more experts and scholars with the proposal of “teaching method,teachers,teaching material” problem in teaching Chinese as a foreign language(TCFL)academia.Researches on the complication of textbook for teaching Chinese as a foreign language also emerge in endlessly.Extraordinary results were obtained in recent years but potential issues.Grammar is one of three elements of language as well as the constitutive rule of language.Grammar teaching plays a vital role in TCFL,and therefore the importance of grammar teaching is confessed.However,there are unsatisfactory parts in current grammar teaching.Hence,how to effectively improve the complication quality of TCFL materials has great research value.The paper employs quantitative statistical analysis,comparative analysis and questionnaire to analyze Chinese Course,Developing Chinese,Boya Chinese and Road to Success from grammatical selection,segmentation,interpretation and practice in order to provide experience for future grammar complication of textbook.The whole paper could be divided into following four parts:The first part is an introduction to the background,meaning and objective of topic selected,where research overview,research objects and research methods are set forth.The purpose of topic selected not only provide the references for the selection of suitable primary comprehensive textbooks for teaching Chinese as a second language for Chinese teachers in the future,but also sum up experience and draw the lessons from the selection and arrangement of grammar items in primary comprehensive textbooks in the future.The second part is the theoretical basis,which contains “grammar outline”,“principles of textbook compilation” and “standards and principles of grammar arrangement”.After comparing six current different types of grammatical syllabus,the author determines to refer to The Syllabus of Chinese Proficiency Level Standard and Grammatical Level as prototype.Scholars have a similar understanding of principles for compiling textbooks with slight differences,attractiveness,practicability,pertinence and science especially have become consensuses of textbook compilers.It can be said that these four principles are principles that the compilation of all kinds of textbooks should abide by.Standards and principles of grammar arrangement is divided into four aspects according to domestic research achievements,including grammar option,grammar segmentation,grammar explanation andgrammar practice.The third part is thr main components,that employs statistical contrast and questionnaire to analyze Chinese Course,Developing Chinese,Boya Chinese and Road to Success from above four aspects,and merits and demerits of each textbook are concluded at the end of each chapter.The fourth part is the summation where personal suggestions regarding discovered issues in third part.The research shows that the editing features of Developing Chinese and Boya Chinese are concentrated and complex,imposing high requirements on the understanding level,learning ability and self-discipline of students studying abroad.The editing features of Chinese Course and the Road to Success are scattered and simple,showing strong universality and applicability of teaching objects.The stability and coherence of grammar selection of Developing Chinese and Boya Chinese are weak while those of Chinese Course and the Road to Success are strong.The grammar division of the four textbooks breaks up the whole into parts for scattered teaching.Oral expression is attached importance to in the Road to Success while written expression is laid stress on in Developing Chinese and Boya Chinese.Chinese Course strikes a balance between the two.The grammatical and pragmatic functions of the four textbooks are relatively worse.Furthermore,the selection emphases of each textbook are different,leading to lack of identity in pragmatic editing of textbooks.
