双语学习对儿童词汇意识的影响

The impact of bilingual education on children's word awareness

关于双语学习对儿童词汇意识的影响,学界观点不一,解释机制多样。综述分析目前的研究发现:双语学习对儿童词汇意识的负面影响是不存在的,且仅是理论上的;尽管双语学习可能会导致双语者的词汇量减少,但是词汇意识测试中的双语劣势不是源于双语学习本身。双语学习对儿童认知的影响是正面的,尤其是有利于加工控制能力和选择注意能力等发展,从而促进了儿童词汇意识的形成和发展。

Scholars hold quite different views and explanations on the impacts of bilingual education on children's word awareness.The recent studies find that there are not any negative impacts of bilingual education on children's word awareness,and the negative impacts exit theoretically.Bilingual education may lead to a smaller vocabulary,but it does not contribute to the lower scores on word awareness tests.Bilingual education has positive impact on children's cognitive development,especially the development of inhibitory-control ability and selective-attention ability,so as to promote the formation and development of word awareness.
