学生语法、语用意识及能力与其学习策略对比研究

运用调查问卷的研究方法调查了63名英语专业与372名非英语专业学生的语法、语用意识/能力及英语学习策略使用的差异,探讨了语法、语用意识/能力与学习策略的关系。统计分析表明英语专业和非英语专业学生的语法意识、语法能力分别显著低于其语用意识和语用能力。英语专业学生的语法意识和语法能力低于非英语专业学生,其语用意识和语用能力高于非英语专业学生,但差异都未达到显著性。英语专业学生的六种学习策略均显著高于非专业学生。结果还表明英语专业学生语法意识和社会策略显著相关,语用能力和认知策略显著相关;非英语专业学生的语用能力和社会策略显著负相关。     

浅谈如何提高非英语专业学生的口语交际能力

我国非英语专业生的口语交际能力普遍低下。许多大学英语教师为提高非英语专业学生的口语交际能力花费了不少时间, 但效果不尽人意。因此, 建议从培养学生学习兴趣入手来提高非英语专业学生的口语交际能力。     

高职非英语专业学生跨文化交际能力的构建研究

从跨文化交际和跨文化交际能力的内涵以及高职非英语专业学生跨文化交际能力培养的现状入手,探讨了高职非英语专业学生跨文化交际能力培养的模式构建,即从市场、师资、学生、教材、课程设置、教学模式等各个环节进行改革实践的构建模式,以期建立适合高职非英语专业学生构建跨文化交际能力的可行模式.     

高校大学生全大写英语认读研究

全大写英语是指全部字母大写的英语单词、词组或句子。研究采用全大写英语认读测试,考察高校大学生全大写英语认读的能力。60名大学生完成了测试,结果显示,(1)高校大学生对全大写英语的认读能力较差,尤其是对全大写英语句子的认读能力非常低下;(2)对有语境的全大写英语单词或词组的认读,英语专业学生比非英语专业学生的认读速度和正确认读率相对偏高;(3)英语专业学生和非英语专业学生在全大写英语单词和词组的认读上存在较大差异,英语专业学生好于非英语专业学生。而在全大写英语句子的认读上,非英语专业学生略好于英语专业学生。本研究对我国外语教学有一定的启示。     

论非英语专业学生自主学习能力培养

培养学生的自主学习能力越来越受到外语教育工作者的重视。从我国非英语专业学生缺乏自主学习能力的现状,及在“以学习者为中心”的教学观点的确立下,提倡英语自主学习的重要性出发,阐述了自主学习的内涵及其相关理论,分析了培养非英语专业学生自主学习能力的必要性,并探讨提高学生自主学习能力的策略,以培养非英语专业学生自主学习能力,提高英语学习效率。     

非英语专业大学生英语自主学习能力的培养

全文通过对非英语专业大学生英语自主学习情况的调查发现,非英语专业大学生英语自主学习意识薄弱,缺乏学习策略意识,缺乏自我评价能力.要通过培养学生的学习策略、增强合作意识、创造有利的外部环境来培养非英语专业学生英语自主学习能力.     

非英语专业大学生跨文化非语言行为的语用失误调查报告

对衡阳师范学院非英语专业大学生跨文化非语言交际能力进行问卷调查,结果表明：在跨文化交际中,非英语专业大学生的非语言交际能力总体很低,非语言交际行为的语用失误严重,英语成绩好的学生其非语言交际能力反而低于英语成绩差的学生.     

语言测试理论与大学英语测试

依据Bachman和Palmer的语言测试原则,对浙江大学英语专业学生和非英语专业学生同时进行两份试卷测试。测试结果表明:CET和TEM无论对英语专业学生和非英语专业学生而言都具有区分度;非英语专业的学生并不绝对地比英语专业学生英语能力差。这两套试卷测试相关度很高,表明用统一的考试机制更能客观地反映各类学生的英语实际水平。     

多模态支架式教学对提升英语自主学习能力的实证研究

以多模态理论与支架式教学理论为支撑,对英语专业一年级学生46名、非英语专业学生47名进行3个月的多模态支架式教学,对其英语自主学习能力的学习者因素进行两次测量,采用单因素方差分析和T检验,显示元认知策略的使用能力(英语专业学生:p=0. 028,<0. 05,非英语专业学生:p=0. 005,<0. 05)和自我管理学习能力(英语专业学生:p=0. 034,<0. 05,非英语专业学生:p=0. 002,<0. 05)均有显著改变,自主学习心理英语专业学生(p=0. 785,>0. 05)与非英语专业学生(p=0. 199,> 0. 05)均没有显著改变;英语专业学生在三个指标上明显优于非英语专业学生,均无性别差异。     

影响非英语专业学生口语能力的因素及对策

随着时代的发展和我国成功加入WTO，世界范围内的交流与合作日益增多，社会对非英语专业学生的英语应用能力，尤其是口语能力提出了更高的要求，而目前我国非英语专业学生英语口语交际能力十分低下。本文在分析影响。非英语专业学生英语口语能力因素的基础上提出了一些应对策略。
