VI. Curriculum education reform:

In recent years, the teaching reform of grammar courses has mainly adopted three
approaches: First, for normal students, to determine the nature of teaching grammar. Its
core is to highlight metagrammatical knowledge, so that learners can not only produce
grammatical language, but also explain language phenomena with grammatical theories
or rules. Second, the combination of classroom teaching and independent learning. By
setting a series of learning tasks oriented to process evaluation, we can promote learning
to independently explore grammatical phenomena and improve grammatical literacy.
Third, the construction of grammar teaching resources. Make full use of the grammar
textbooks issued by British and American authoritative publishing houses to improve the
innocence of grammar textbooks.
