高职英语专业基础英语课堂教师话语的调研——以乌鲁木齐职业大学为例

The Investigation and Study of Teacher Talk in Basic English Class of Vocational Universities——Taking Urumqi Vocational University as an Example

在英语课堂上,教师话语既是实施教学的重要手段,又是学生获得目标语输入的一个主要源泉,因此,研究它有助于我们分析和找出教学中促进或阻碍语言学习的因素,进而更好地指导教师的课堂教学,最终促进学生对目标语的习得。本研究以一所高职院校的四位基础英语教师作为研究对象,采用自然调查法,对教师话语量、提问类型和课堂语码转换三个方面进行了调查和分析,以期揭示出高职院校英语教师话语现状与特征。最后,笔者就改进高职院校基础英语教学提了几点建议,期待能为职业院校英语专业教学改革提供有价值的参考和启示。
