The Validity Study of L2 Knowledge Teaching Management Model: From the English Modal Verbs’ Learning
Keywords:
applied talents, grammatical knowledge, pragmatic knowledgeAbstract
This Article aimed to study the English teachers’ practical application of the L2 (second language) teaching models, the valid relation between the language elements such as grammatical knowledge and pragmatic knowledge, grammatical form and grammatical meaning, and the constructs of pragmatical knowledge in order to get the validity of previous four L2 knowledge teaching models. And the article also aimed to study an effective L2 knowledge teaching model in the teaching management we should take in our college.
Faced the application-oriented universities’ reform in the field of education management in China, the valid training of L2 knowledge is also become an important factor to our applied talents training. English modal verbs, as a difficult and flexible teaching content, are a focus for the validity of L2 knowledge constantly. For that, we choose 517 Chinese sophomores and 20 professors in Taiyuan Institution of Technology randomly. Through two instruments of General Grammar Test and English Modal Verbs Test, we collect valid data and analysis data by Descriptive statistics and Content Analysis as questionnaire with an in-depth interview and SEM (Structural Equation Model). We find all the previous four models of L2 knowledge examined with respect to English modal verbs are generally adequate. We also have devised a more parsimonious and more explanatory model of L2 knowledge i.e., the Trait-only Model and further examined its validity, which can be applied into our English teaching management.
