国外二语重述研究回顾与展望

A Review of Recasts Abroad and Its Future Trend

重述是近年来二语习得研究中的热点话题,也是课堂上大量使用的反馈策略。对重述的研究反映了二语习得研究中两个具有普遍意义的争论:正面证据和负面证据在二语习得中的作用和哪种纠错反馈更加有效的问题。重述研究的深入发展揭示了重述的本质,同时,学生接纳作为衡量重述有效性的方法也不断被改进。重述的有效性受到学生接纳学习环境、纠错的语言结构和学习者主动性的制约,这些因素的揭示对于课堂外语教学具有启发意义。

Recasting has been an issue of intensive inquiry in SLA research in recent years. It is empirically found to be a predominant way of providing feedback for FL/SL learners in various learning contexts, especially in classroom settings. The research into recasts also reflects the two debates of general significance ： the role of positive evidence and negative evidence in SLA, and the relative efficacy of different types of corrective feedback. The current paper conducts a review of recasts research abroad over recent years, discusses the key issues concerning it such as learner uptake, its corrective nature and the important factors that constrain the efficacy of recasts, and points out the future trend in this field of inquiry.
