Teaching Pattern of College Students Grammar Input Aided by Information Technology

Abstract

There exists discrepancies whether English grammar should be taught and how to be taught in second language learning classroom. Grammar teaching in Chinese colleges has been downplayed with communication competence becoming the primary goal of language learners. Its direct consequences are difficulties in students’ English comprehension and considerable grammatical mistakes in writing, translation parts due to low grammatical level. High grammatical level calls for both explicit knowledge input and a large amount of implicit input for college students to internalize the grammatical rules. Information technology has provided the platform for adult college students to access to vast English language materials in various forms. Grammar teaching patterns in college will be explored in this study.
