Chinese Grammar Pedagogy

Chinese Grammar Pedagogy is an asynchronous course, an introduction to Chinese grammar pedagogy that focuses on the relationship between theoretical grammar, pedagogical grammar and grammar pedagogy. We will discuss pedagogical methods in instructing Chinese grammar, discourse-based approach, Focus on Form vs. Focus on Forms, types of grammar elicitation designs, and interaction among grammar, context, and pragmatics. It is designed to integrate theories into hands-on practice. The primary goals of this course include gaining insights from readings of books, Chinese pedagogical grammar articles, discussing grammar teachability issues from elementary to advanced levels, writing reflection journals, training grammar elicitation techniques, and compiling Chinese grammar from authentic content-based materials. The asynchronous course has weekly reading and/or audio/video watching assignments, weekly quizzes, reflection entries, community teaching practices, etc. The course will embrace the Monterey Way, be conducted using content-based instruction, be taught in Chinese and use reading materials in English and Chinese. All the assignments except grammar explanation should be written in Chinese. Final project written language can be discussed with the instructor per students’ situation and project. Submit your assignments by each Sunday by 11:59 p.m. PST
