词块教学法与大学生英语口语能力的发展

Lexical Approach and Development of College Students’ Oral Proficiency

词块教学法认为语言是语法化的词汇,而不是词汇化的语法。在自然语言中大量存在的整体存储、直接提取、无需语法生成和分析的词块是构成语言的基础,语言应用能力的提高是通过扩大学习者的词块来实现的。词块的使用可以大大提高口语输出的流利性、准确性和得体性,在大学生英语口语能力发展中具有很大的优势。

Lexical Approach holds that language consists of grammaticalised lexis, not lexicalized grammar and it concentrates on developing learners＇ proficiency by means of lexical chunks. The pervasive lexical chunks in natural language are stored and easily retrieved whole from the memory without being subject to generation or analysis by the language grammar. The use of lexical chunks can help language users achieve fluency, accuracy and appropriateness in oral output, hence they enjoy their own advantages in developing college students＇ oral proficiency in English.
