大学英语教学中的习得

Acquisition in college English education

本文旨在讨论克拉申的习得理论是否适用于我国的英语教学。通过调查分析,作者认为目前我国大学英语教学仍以课堂教学为主。但也总结了英语水平较高者的学生的学习行为,提出对外语习得应持灵活态度,即可区分完全习得、指导性习得、和自学性习得三类。只有在这个认识基础上,习得才能在大学英语学习中占有一席之地;有助于提高学习者的英语水平。因此,大学英语教师应发挥主导作用,帮助学习者建立模拟的目标语环境,同时要引导学生的自学性习得。

The feasibility of applying Krashen's acquisition theory to English education in China has been investigated. On the whole it is found that learning plays a more important role in China's college English education. At the same time the paper argues that we should adopt a flexible attitude toward the practice of foreign language acquisition, which can be further categorized into 'acquisition proper', 'guided acquisition' and 'self-instructed acquisition'. It is said that guided acquisition is the most promising area where teachers can play an active role.
