高水平组与低水平组英语学习策略的差异

Strategic Difference in English Learning by Proficiency Level

本研究运用问卷调查与访谈相结合的方法,以大学入学新生为对象研究了高低水平学生英语学习策略的差异。研究结果显示:(1)就均值而言,高水平组在总体策略层面和六类策略的使用频率都高于低水平组。(2)T检验结果表明,除补偿策略外,两组学生在认知策略、元认知策略、记忆策略、社交策略和情感策略的使用差异达到统计上的显著差异性。(3)在单项策略层面上,卡方经验结果显示22个项目存在显著的组间差异,低水平组错误的学习信念阻碍了学习策略的有效运用。最后就大学阶段的英语策略教学提出了几点建议。
