内地民族院校非英语专业藏族大学生的英语写作过程研究

Research on the English Writing Process of Tibetan Non-English Majors at a Minzu University in a Non-Ethnic Community

文章用有声思维的方法研究了内地民族院校两位非英语专业藏族大学生的英语写作过程。分析结果表明,内地民族院校藏族大学生在英语写作过程中母语藏语没有参与到英语写作过程;回读前文是其构思出下文的主要手段;学生在写作过程中表现出明确的语法意识。英语词汇量小以及语际间的负迁移仍然是制约其英语表达的主要因素。

In this paper,think-aloud protocol is employed to analyze the writing process of two Tibetan non-English majors at a Minzu university in a non-ethnic community.Their writing processes are recorded and analyzed.Results from analyses indicate that their mother tongue—Tibetan is not involved in the writing process;repeating aloud the written part is a frequently used strategy to conceive the next part;they exhibit explicit awareness of grammatical rules in their writing process;their writing processes are greatly affected by their inadequacy in English vocabulary and by negative transfers from Chinese.
