学会学习:元认知策略训练在英语单词学习中的应用

研究表明不是所有的二语学习策略训练都是成功的。作者对学习英语词汇的学生进行明确的元认知策略的训练,并研究其作用。为达到研究目的,将随机选择的中等语言水平的学生分为控制组和实验组,均接受为期10周的词汇学习策略方面的指导,仅实验组接受元认知策略训练。该训练模式是基于Chamot和O'Malley(1994)提出的直接语言学习策略的框架上的,研究结果表明明确的元认知策略训练对学生学习英语词汇有显著积极的作用。

Research shows that not all L_2 strategy-training studies have been successful or conclusive.The purpose of the present study is to investigat the effect of metacognitive strategy training through the use of explicit strategy instruction on vocabulary learning of EFL students.To reach the goal of the study two groups of EFL language learners at intermediate language proficiency level were randomly assigned to a control and an experimental group.Both groups received instruction on vocabulary learning strategies through a 10-week period of instruction.However,only the experimental group received metacognitive strategy training.The training model used was based on the framework for direct language learning strategies instruction proposed by Chamot and O'Malley(1994).The result of the study showed that explicit metacognitive strategy training has a significant positive effect on the vocabulary learning of EFL students.
