陈新仁《英语语法实用教程》
English Grammar: A Practical Coursebook
 
南京大学 陈新仁教授 主编 
 
人们能够使用语言进行交际，但这种能力似乎并不需要语法书的指导或依赖语法教学。也许正因为如此，对于中国学生学外语是否需要教语法、学语法，经常有些争议。学生不喜欢语法或语法课的当然还有别的原因，譬如：语法给人枯燥、刻板的印象（这是一般语法书给人留下的印象）；语法教学往往流于传授语法的条条框框（这是一般语法教学给人留下的印象）。我们需要改变这一切，从教材的编写开始，从教法开始。
 
我们的基本看法是：其一、语法是语言使用中的重要部分，是一种表达资源，合理使用语法可以帮助我们在合适的语境中取得特定的交际效果，因此，我们要为学生提供表达特定思想的语法选择，知道什么时候选择什么语法形式来表达思想。强化语法学习和使用的“选择意识”，着力发展“语法能力”，可以根本性地提高学习效率，增强表达效果。其二、语言表达以句子为基本单位，语法讲解要关注句子的各个组成部分（主语、谓语、宾语、状语、补语等），解决学生在构筑句子过程中的困难，为学生提供各个部分的可能选择，帮助他们体会不同语法形式选择在交际效果上的差异。其三、语法教学要以学生为中心，结合语法使用实例和交际情境，开展研究性学习，通过各种讨论，激发学生的学习兴趣以及发现语法规律的欲望。
 
一、本书特色
1、注重在真实的语言环境，（短小精湛的段落/短文/语篇）中讲解语法；注重语法信息量的充足性以及信息内容的可理解、趣味性。
2、打造全新的语法讲解体系，注重与传统语法体系的结合，既从概念出发到例子，又从解决何时用、怎么用的问题出发，从学生组句需要出发，讲解句子各个组成部分，同时考虑到交际中表达简洁和强调的需要，讲解相关语法选择。超越语法知识本身，培养语法能力。
3、注重语法的交际价值；大幅度改变将语法作为一门抽象的语言知识来学习的做法。从交际角度，比较相似结构之间的差别。区分常规结构与修辞结构。
4、突出语法的文体、体裁特征；很多语料取样于现实生活，丰富多样。
5、关注语法与词汇作为交际手段之间的联系；
6、以中国学生学习英语为出发点和归属，考虑到母语的积极和消极影响；考虑到读者学习语言的经验，不讲明显不需讲的内容，预测性地呈现中国学生可能出现的语法问题。
7、采用研究型学习理念，设计大量讨论性、探索性、发现式问题，启发学生发现英语语法规律，培养学生的研究思维和能力。努力改变传统知识类教材的刻板方式，帮助教师克服一言堂的教学模式。本教程适合课堂教学，而不是“工具书”、“参考书”一类的教材。
8、考虑到学习者的客观需要，关注与各种语法测试的结合。
 
二、单元模块
1、Pre-Class Reading  简要介绍单元知识点，并通过Check Your Understanding检查阅读效果。
2、In-Class Activities  以句、段落、短文等语法范畴出现的环境为依托，讨论相关语法问题，涉及各类语言性、文体性、修辞性问题，使用比较法、启迪法、追问法，激发学生思考。
3、Post-Class Tasks  包括各类形式的练习任务，巩固所学单元知识。
4、Project Work 让学生开展课外团队学习，学会如何收集素材、文献等，做PPT，并在课堂上做汇报。
