An Exploration of Interdisciplinary Thinking Patterns in Secondary English Grammar Teaching-- Tenses

Abstract

Interdisciplinary thinking is a way of thinking that utilizes the intersection and fusion between internal and external knowledge of disciplines to solve problems through cross-border integration of knowledge. The penetration of interdisciplinary thinking in secondary school grammar teaching is of great significance, which is conducive to change the conception of teacher’s focusing on the teaching and research of their own disciplines merely, enhances students' interest in grammar learning, and promotes the development of students' multiple intelligence. In this paper, the author takes the tenses in secondary school English grammar as an example to explore the penetration of interdisciplinary thinking in grammar teaching. Specifically, the author takes the combination of mathematical and physical thinking in mathematics as an starting point, combining the "coordinate axes" with the "union sets" in the set to discuss the use of single mathematical model and the multiple mathematical models during the teaching of English tenses.
