讲座内容：
语言教师目前面临的一个共同困境是：他们的语法知识的训练不适应其工作的需求。一个严重的后果是，语言教师不能使语言学习者在学习目标语结构时不仅知其然并知其所以然。
那么，语言教师需要怎样的语法知识，又如何有效地运用其语法知识实施语法教学呢？这个演讲呼吁，语言教师必须具备吸收各种语法理论框架内汉语语法研究的最新成果并将其转化为教学语法和教学步骤的能力。在肯定各种理论框架贡献的同时，演讲人认为一种认知-功能的语法训练最适合语言教师的需要并最易于转化为教学语法和教学步骤。主要的原因在于：不同于以结构的描写和转换为研究目标的语法理论，诸如结构主义语法和形式句法理论，认知-功能语法关注于语言形式和其功能之间的对接。即它不仅告诉学习者一个语言形式是怎样的，更为学习者提供该形式语义和语用功能的解释；它不在意语言形式之间的转换，而关注每一形式特有的语用功能。而如何得体地使用语言形式去表达语义正是语言学习之关键。这个演讲还以大量的实例说明如何运用认知-功能语法的研究成果以实施有效的语言教学。
