农科大学生英语学习策略研究——基于大学各阶段学生的综合调查

A Study on Language Learning Strategy Use of EFL Students in a Agricultural University——A Comprehensive Study Covering Students at All Stages in a University

利用Oxford的语言学习策略量表(SILL)对某农科大学各个学习阶段的607名英语学习者的语言学习策略进行了调查,研究了这些学生语言学习策略的总体使用情况、学习策略与英语水平的关系以及不同的性别、学习阶段和家庭背景的学生在学习策略上使用的差异。研究发现学生使用最多的是社交策略,最少使用的是情感策略和记忆策略;英语水平与学习策略使用存在显著相关;女生比男生更多地使用学习策略;不同学习阶段学生对于各种学习策略的使用有不同的偏好;来自农村的学生对于那些与英语水平相关程度更高的策略的使用频度低于来自城市的学生。最后对研究结果在教学上的意义进行了讨论。

This study investigated the language learning strategy use of 607 EFL students at different learning stages in a agricultural university.Using Oxford＇s Strategy Inventory for Language Learning（SILL）,the study examined the overall learning strategy use of these students,the relationship between language learning strategy use and second language proficiency,differences in strategy use across gender,learning stage and home.The study found that the students preferred to use social strategies most,whereas they showed the least use of affective and memory strategies.Females tended to use strategies more frequently than males.Students at different learning stages had different preference for different strategies.Students from countryside showed less frequency in the use of those strategies which were more closely related to language proficiency.The pedagogical implications of the findings were discussed.
