Being an effective language analyst means not only the teacher possesses the knowledge about the language but also help students study the nature of the language with learning effects. Being an effective language analyst also means being able to conceptualize language phenomena as English is rich, complex and diverse (Wright 1991). No grammar books or dictionaries can include all language phenomena. So the teacher is required to theorize the language experience.2. Making errors is a conspicuous part of language learning. As a person starts learning the language, he/she starts making mistakes. Researchers have tried to describe and explain what mistakes learners tend to make and why they make mistakes.3. Grammar form is the language material that is structural and then grammar function is function of the language. For beginners, studying structural English is more efficient because they can have a control over the language. For advanced learners, functional English is what they need because it is interesting, challenging and encouraging the use of English.4. (1) Syllables A syllable is a part of word that contains one vowel sound. It may also contain one or more consonants sounds. Usually the number of vowel sounds in the word determines the numbers of syllable. There are exceptions such as “-ble”, “-ple”, or “- tle” can form a syllable. (2) Open syllables: with one vowel letter at the end of the stressed syllable (not the end of the word), which is not followed or closed by any other letter with one vowel letter that is followed by a mute “e” at the end of the stressed syllable with one vowel letter followed by a single consonant letter (other than “r”) and then a mute “e” at the end of the stressed syllable (3) Closed syllables: with one vowel letter followed or closed by one or more than consonant letter (other than “r”) in a stressed syllable5. People write for different purposes or functions. With the development of written expression for social functions and communications, different genres came into being with required conventions in discourse. 6. A curriculum contains a broad description of general goals by indicating an overall educational-cultural philosophy which applies across subjects together with a theoretical orientation to language and language learning with respect to the subject matter at hand. A curriculum is often reflective of national and political trends as well.A syllabus is a more detailed and operational statements of teaching and learning elements which translates the philosophy of the curriculum into a series of planned steps leading towards more narrowly defined objectives at each level.7. (1) Tests: Proficiency tests, Achievement testsDiagnostic testsPlacement tests(2) Testing: Direct versus indirect testing Discrete point versus integrative testingNorm-referenced versus criterion-referenced testingObjective testing versus subjective testingIII. Open questions.（每题9分 共36分）1. Choose some vocabulary items from the textbook you are teaching or going to teach and design three activities for presentation and three for practice.2. What are the characteristics of good grammar presentation? (1) Being clearA good presentation should be clear. Students should have no difficulty in understanding the situation or what the new language means.(2) Being efficientA good presentation should be efficient. The aim is to get to the personalization stage as soon as students can manipulate the new language. The more efficiently we can do this the better.(3) Being lively and interestingA good presentation should be lively and interesting. We want students to get interested and be involved during a presentation stage. With the help of a good situation and lively teaching it can be one of the most memorable parts of a language course. And if it is, there is a good chance that students will remember the new grammar more easily.(4) Being appropriateA good presentation should be appropriate. However interesting, funny, or demonstrative a situation is, it should be appropriate for the language that is be
