A Study of Gender Differences in Communication Strategies by EFL Learners

本研究旨在探讨大学EFL学习者交际策略的性别差异及“策略取向教学”口语课教改实验对男女受试习得交际策略的作用。组间和组内t-检验结果显示：实验前、后男女使用交际策略频度均有一定的性别差异，但仅在借用策略方面达到显著性；策略教学提高了受试的策略水平，但男女策略变化特点和趋势不同。实验对女生产生了更好的效果：减缩策略明显降低，转述策略显著提高；男生仅减缩策略明显下降，转述策略未见显著性变化。

The study explored the gender differences in the use of communication strategies by EFL learners in the university and in the effects of the SBI Spoken English lessons on the subjects. Significant gender differences were consistently found before and after the training in the frequencies of their using borrowing strategies （like literal translation from Chinese and language switching） ,although no great differences existed in the other categories. The results also indicated that the SBI had a positive effect on raising their strategy, awareness, strategic competence and self-confidence in speaking English and that again gender differences existed ：a more notable impact was generated on the females, who used significantly less reduction strategies and more paraphrasing strategies after the training, than on their male counter-parts, whose reduction strategies significantly decreased, yet paraphrasing ones not significantly changed.
