国内语言学习焦虑研究综述:十余年回顾与展望

On the Study of Anxiety in China: Problems and Perspectives

对过去十四年中(1994—2007)刊登在国内外语类主要期刊上的语言学习焦虑的研究论文进行了回顾与总结。通过统计和分析,我们发现:(1)我国对语言学习焦虑的研究呈逐步上升趋势;(2)在研究方法上,非实证研究占绝对优势;(3)在研究内容上,主要包括四个方面:对焦虑在听、说、读、写、译中的研究;焦虑对学习的影响等。我们预测,随着二语习得研究的深入,研究范围将更加广泛、研究方法更加多样化。此外,计算机技术和网络等手段也将应用到焦虑研究中去。
