Author:Tan Lili Student Number:2016281020066Course Name:Sociolinguistics Abstract:The aim of this paper is to discuss the relationship between sociolinguistics and foreign language teaching and its influence and enlightenment upon language teaching. Sociolinguistics studies language mainly through the study of social factors,which has a great impact on language teaching,especially on the development of student’s communicative competence and on the language teaching which centers on culture and discourse.At first,this paper briefly introduces the basic theories and study methods of sociolinguistics;then,it points out that we should teach language itself and its relevant social factors as well,pay much attention to communicative competence and social culture, and stress the discourse and contextual teaching.

Key Words:sociolinguistics;foreign language teaching;communicative competence; culture;discourse;context;discourse teaching;contextual teaching.

I.Introduction

There always exists misunderstanding or confusion in our interaction with people who speak English due to the inappropriateness of language use.Linguists define this misunderstanding or confusion as pragmatic failure which consists of two parts: pragmalinguistic failure and sociopragmatic failure.The former concerns the problems in pronunciation,vocabulary,grammar and language skills,which can be solved by the training of basic language skills;the latter is more complicated than the former,which cannot be solved merely by the language training because it is related to social and cultural factors,such as culture,class,religion,age,gender and psychology.The subject of the study on sociolinguistics is the relationship among language,society and culture as well as the principles of language applied in social interaction.It is,therefore,necessary to learn and study sociolinguistics so as to solve these sociopragmatic problems.
