浅议我国外语学习策略研究之14年

14 Years of Researches in China on Foreign Language Learning Strategies

通过对14年来我国学者在外语学习策略方面的研究论文的统计分析显示,我国外语学习策略研究之14年来,存在着研究定位雷同、研究样本不全面、研究方法单一、对核心概念界定模糊等问题,影响了策略研究的信度和效度。因此,在未来的研究中,应明确策略研究涉及的核心概念,多从微观层面入手调整研究定位。同时,还要扩大研究样本,高度重视高职高专群体。除此之外,还要熟悉科学研究方法,在综述和调查研究之外多综合运用其他研究方法,以使我国外语学习策略研究更具有可验证性和推广性。

Through the statistic analysis on Chinese researches of foreign language learning strategies from 1994 to 2007, the author finds that there still exist four major problems in the field, such as the similarity in research orientation, the incompletion of research samples, the singleness of research methods, and the unclear definition of core concepts. These problems affect the reliability and validity of studies on foreign language learning strategies of Chinese learners. It is suggested that future researchers should, first, specify relevant core concepts; second, adjust research orientation and do more research from micro--angle; third, broaden the sample and pay more attention to polytechnic students; and fourth, learn more about modern research methodologies and increase the ratio of other research methods besides summary and survey. Only in the way can our studies on learning strategies be testable and generalized.
