前言

　　本书是一部从历史的、多学科的角度，运用应用语言学的研究成果对语言教学进行理论探讨的学术专著。作者H·H·斯特恩是研究第二语言教学问题的权威人士，加拿大卓越的教学法专家之一，1968-1981年任安大略教育研究学院现代语言中心主任，1981-1987年任该学院课程研究系名誉教授。本书由H·G·威多森教授担任应用语言学顾问。　　本书主要研究除母语以外的语言教学问题，试图从宏观的角度探讨各种不同情况下、各种环境中的非母语语言教学；但作者并没有在母语和非母语教学之间划出明确的界限，书中阐述的某些理论也适用于母语教学。　　本书的基本思想有以下四个特点：　　一、强调理论的指导作用。作者认为先进的教学实践是建立在把握先进的教学理论的基础上的，只有优秀的理论方能对实践提供有效指导。本书探讨的是语言教学理论，但并不是高不可攀的“象牙塔”中的理论，而是注重理论与实践相结合，提出了能对语言教学实践提供指导的实用性和操作性强的理论。　　二、强调教学理论与具体教学实践相结合。作者并不要求读者照搬现成的理论，而是希望他们能将理论与各自的实践经验相结合。作者设想的理想境界是：读者通过阅读本书能对语言教学形成见多识广’的、专业化的、成熟的、全面的“理论”，这种“理论”有助于指导读者个人的实践，使他们在对学生施教、课程设置、观察问题、作出判断和作出决策等方面都能获益。　　三、注重提高读者的自我判断力。鉴于关于语言教学的论著浩如烟海，关于语言教学的方法众说纷纭，进行取舍和鉴别，分辨出真理和谬误并非易事。

章节摘录

　　The growing disillusionment about research on pedagogy led inves-tigators， particularly in North America， to the conviction that the morefundamental issues of the nature of language learning should be studiedby research methods， and a veritable explosion of studies on secondlanguage learning dominated research in the seventies. However， mostof this highly productive work emphasized free or undirectedlanguage learning， contributing relatively little to the questions aboutmore effective approaches to language teaching. In the meantime，several innovations were introduced in language pedagogy; yet few ofthese were supported by research.　　Understanding the role of research　　Research has been part of the language teaching scene for long enoughto enable us to make some general observations about the nature ofresearch and the contribution of research to language pedagogy.Strangely enough， very little has been written about research onlanguage teaching per se， perhaps because among many practitioners itis still regarded as a somewhat peripheral aspect of language teaching.Consequently language teaching research lacks direction. There hasbeen little discussion about research emphases， nor has a distinctresearch methodology established itself as yet.
