国外二语学习者作文书面反馈研究——研究的视角及对大学英语作文评改的启示

Teacher-written Feedback Research on L2 Student Writing Abroad——Perspectives and Pedagogical Implications

在过去的30年里,国外从事二语写作教学的教师和学者对教师的书面反馈在提高学习者写作水平中所起的作用做了大量卓有成效的探索。相关研究主要从以下4个方面展开:1)探索教师反馈的语言特征;2)对比各种类型的书面反馈;3)分析学习者对教师反馈的态度;4)比较教师反馈与学习者反馈。国内在这方面的实证研究严重匮乏,我们应借鉴国外在该领域的研究成果,改进大学英语作文的评改。

In the past three decades, studies have been conducted on the contribution of teacher-written feedback to the quality of L2 student writings. Of particular concern are studies on 1） identifying the various characteristics of feedback, 2） examining the effects of different types of feedback, 3） investigating student reactions to the feedback, and 4） comparing the impact of teacher feedback and that of peer feedback. The findings are impressive, but in China relevant studies are rare. An overview of the studies abroad shall have significant pedagogical implications at home.
