This text explores the relationship between second language teaching practice and what is known about the process of second language acquisition and summarizes the current state of second language acquisition theory. -- Draws general conclusions about the application of theory to methods and materials and describes the characteristics that effective materials should include. -- Concludes that language acquisition occurs best when language is used for the purpose for which it was communication.

精彩摘录
"The solution to our problems in language teaching lies not in expensive equipment, exotic methods, sophisticated linguistic analyses, or new laboratories, but in full utilization of what we already have, speakers of the languages using them for real communication. I will also conclude that the best "
"What current theory implies, quite simply, is that language acquisition, first or second, occurs only when comprehension of real messages occurs, and when the acquirer is not "on the defensive", to use Stevick's apt phrase. Language acquisition does not require extensive use of conscious grammatical"
"The "best methods" according to comparative research studies (comparing methods A and B, as described earlier) appear to be "input methods", those methods that focus on supplying comprehensible input in pressure-free situations."
"In workshops and mini-conferences, we no longer see presentations on fine points of grammar, or on types of substitution drill. "Ideas that work" are ideas about role-playing, using the newspaper as a teaching aid, socio-drama, etc. Moreover, newer methodology has, as a primary goal, the lowering of"
"(i) Monitor Over-users. These are people who attempt to Monitor all the time, performers who are constantly checking their output with their conscious knowledge of the second language. As a result, such performers may speak hesitantly, often self-correct in the middle of utterances, and are so conce"
"(ii) Monitor under-users. These are performers who have not learned, or if they have learned, prefer not to use their conscious knowledge, even when conditions allow it. Underusers are typically uninfluenced by error correction, can self-correct only by using a "feel" for correctness (e.g. "it sound"
"(iii) The optimal Monitor user. Our pedagogical goal is to produce optimal users, performers who use the Monitor when it is appropriate and when it does not interfere with communication. Many optimal users will not use grammar in ordinary conversation, where it might interfere. (Some very skilled pe"
"I am not asking practitioners or materials developers to follow all of the implications of theory blindly. My hope is only that our results will be considered as another source of ideas and input to methods and materials, in partnership with conclusions reached by practitioners themselves from their"

Not so relevant
Effective input for language acquisition should be comprehensible, interesting/relevant, not grammatically sequenced, in a large quantity and received at a low affective filter level.
确实很学术!需要根据自己目的寻找有用信息。
* Looking for comprehensive materials (low filter level) 也就是说练习素材不要分少儿版,进阶版,就按照最真实日常的语料来
* Off the defensive, 这我也想明白了,觉得学生不一定会的问题就别问他了(更何况是觉得他一定不会的)咱也是做学生的,这感受咱也懂!(但是每个老师都会有点提问欲,给自己找点存在感?)
* Materials / topics should be relevant and interesting
* Not grammatically sequenced 先理解意思,再教语法
