t a variety of activities to motivate students to cultivate both students'
knowledge of language and knowledge of language use.
2.2 The Content of Language Teaching
2.2.1 Knowledge of Language
As far as knowledge of language is concerned, it may refer }to the basic elements of
language, such as phonological units (e.g. phonemes), grammatical units (e.g: clauses,
phrases, sentences), grammatical operations (e.g. adding, shifting, joining) and lexical
items Every language contains these items. As it is specified at the foundation stage, there
is need to train students' grammatical ability concerned with Chinese learners' reality,
even the grammatical competence should be cultivated through activities. In oral class,
both knowledge of language and knowledge of language use should be taught through
communication. Most teachers regard grammatical items as an essential part in language
teaching and learning since communication depends on these grammatical systems.

Without them, meaning can't be transferred. To a certain degree, this may be true, but
focusing on them too much especially in oral olass teaching won't lead to students' fluent
and successful communication.
2.2.2 Knowledge of Language Use
Knowledge of language is one aspect of English language teaching and learning.
Knowledge of language does not reflect one's ability to communicate. To enable students
to communicate effectively and successfully, teachers need also train students' knowledge
of language use. "Communication involves much more than simply a knowledge of forms;
it depends crucially on the ability to use forms in appropriate ways" (Johson et Morrow,
1981:60). Widdowson (1978) use usage to refer to the former and use to the latter. This
distinction "is related to de Saussure's distinction between language and parole and
Chomsky's similar distinction between competence and performance" (1978:•3). This
notion of competence has something to do with language user's knowledge of

linguistic rules. This knowledge has to be put into effect as behavior, it has to be revealed
through performance. When it is put into effect through the citation of sentences to
illustrate these rules, as is done in grammar books, then performance yields instances of
usage: abstract knowledge is manifested. When language teachers select structures and
vocabulary for their courses they select those items of usage which they judge to be most
effective for teaching the underlying rules of the language system. Language use is kind of
performance: the language user demonstrates his ability to use his knowledge of linguistic
rules for effective communication.!
2.3 Culture Awareness
Widdowson says that "When we acquire a language, we do not only learn how to
compose and comprehend correct sentences as isolated linguistic units of random
occurrence, we also learn how to use sentences appropriately to achieve a communicative
purposes" (1978: 2). Here, the word "appropriately" in one aspect refers to knowledge of
language use. Tn another aspect, it most refers to culture factor in communication.
Communication especially oral communication is to a great extent influenced by culture
differences between regions and countries. This phenomenon can even be observed among
the people in different areas and nationalities in our country.
