中国非英语专业大学生外语口头交际意愿实证研究

Research on Willingness to Communicate of Non-English Major Students

近年来,随着交际教学法的广泛应用,人们越来越重视学生语言交际能力的培养。学生在课堂上是否主动发起或参与交际无疑对课堂教学的成功与否有着极大的影响。采用定性和定量相结合的研究方法,调查了我国非英语专业大学生的交际意愿及其影响交际意愿的因素。研究结果表明:⑴受试者普遍对自己交际能力评价较低。⑵受试者的交际意愿与其交际能力自评显著相关,且不同的环境下相关程度不同。⑶交际对象,交谈场景和交谈话题这三个变量结合文化模式、价值观的不同影响受试者的交际意愿。在分析大学生课堂交际意愿影响因素的基础上,强调了信息差任务的设计对提高学生交际意愿的具体教学启示。
