Systemic Functional Linguistics

This week's topic is very new for me as there's not much grammar issues in Chinese. However, I still agree that we cannot teach grammar rules only. We need to provide real examples and contexts for students to let them know how people use it and when we use it. On the other hand, if we only teach students grammar rules, they might make perfect sentence without grammar errors but we've never used in our real life.

There's not much to talk about my Chinese teaching. I think that's because I'm a native speaker and most of Chinese textbooks do not really emphasize grammar part especially the textbooks for second language. However, when I think back to my English learning, I refused to use grammar rules which I am not familiar with. I often decided to use the grammar that I've encountered many times.
