学术英语初学者体裁游戏能力研究

An Investigation into Novice EAP Learners’ Genre Play Capacity

作为一种相对较新的教学尝试,体裁游戏是传统规范与创新实践之间的桥梁。本研究旨在探讨本科生作为学术英语(EAP)初学者的体裁游戏能力及影响因素。结果表明,体裁融合是本科新生在体裁游戏中的主要创新策略,他们在思想内容上的创新程度大于句法和修辞技巧。学生作品还反映出他们在体裁知识发展过程中出现了语步固化。EAP课堂的体裁教学有助于拓宽体裁知识,增强体裁意识。

As a relatively recent pedagogical endeavor,genre play serves as a bridge between conventional norms and innovative practices.This study aims to investigate college freshmen’s ability of genre manipulation as novice EAP learners,as well as its impact factors.Mixing is found to be the main strategy in their playful manipulation,and they tend to play more with the ideational content than the linguistic and rhetorical forms.Noticeably,the undergraduates’genre capacity seems fossilized at the move dimension.The findings confirm the effectiveness of the genre pedagogy in developing their genre knowledge and fostering their genre awareness.Moreover,the five-part essay format in secondary education leads to the learners’fossilized move awareness as the shortest board in the overall genre capacity.
