The Introduction of Relativity into English Grammatical Teaching in China

For students of English as a second language at or above intermediate levels in classrooms in China, the instructor’s means to present English grammar may well gain effectiveness through the exercise of relativity as a principle in disparate areas such as the number of nouns, the way time is conveyed and the reorganization of word meanings. This article explores ways to round out the number of some elusive English nouns and ways to command the concept of time in terms of relativity. This article suggests that these widely independent areas in English grammar are clustered here as they differ a great deal from the Chinese ways of expression, hence the importance of helping foster an integrated way of thinking in English once the students begin to gain momentum in their English study. The introduction and adoption of relativity can be exploratory for both teachers and students alike.
