A Study of Application of Universal Grammar UG to English Education

普遍语法认为日语和英语的基本结构是相似的。笔者认为，日本英语学习者不一定要从普遍语法的角度来学习英语的全部内容，他们需要学习日语和英语之间的不同方面。笔者在本报告中将语义单位或语义角色、语序、语法范畴等作为普遍方面。普遍语法在英语教学中的应用，就是要让学习者在不知不觉中习得母语，并没有意识到英语和日语之间的相似性的情况下，通过有意识的提高来认识语言的共性。通用语法将有助于促进英语学习。我们的教学应引导学习者自觉地提高语言的共性，并在普遍语法的基础上学习英语与日语的差异。我提到了语义角色的识别和语序的识别，然后提出了如何找到将语法规则应用于学习者所产生的输入的触发器。提出并举例说明了UG方法在任务型学习中的应用。

Universal grammar claims that Japanese and English basic structures are similar to each other. I claim that Japanese learners of English do not have to learn all of English from the viewpoints of UG and that they have to learn different aspects between Japanese and English.I referred to semantic units or semantic roles, word orders, grammatical categories as universal aspects in this report. Application of UG to English education is to get the learners to know language commonality through conscious raising since they do not recognize that there is similarity among English and Japanese as they have acquired mother tongue unconsciously. Universal grammar will help to facilitate English learning. Our teaching should lead the learners to the conscious raising of language commonality and get them to learn the English differences from Japanese on a basis of UG.I proposed the method of generating English sentences in terms of semantic roles. I referred to identification of semantic roles and recognition of word orders, and then proposed how to find out the trigger of applying grammatical rides to the inputs the learners have generated. What is more, I proposed and illustrated the application of UG method to task based learning.
