博士生英语学习动机、策略及水平相关研究

A Correlational Research on the English Learning Motivation,Learning Strategy and English Proficiency of Ph.D.Students

研究考察了博士生英语学习动机情况,发现他们的工具性动机水平显著高于其他类型的动机,学习者的英语学习动机与性别、年龄等个人特征没有显著关联,反映出博士生英语学习动机的趋同性。英语学习动机水平高的学生会更多地运用各种学习策略,但是成绩动机和学习情境动机与大部分学习策略没有显著相关。学生的内在兴趣与英语水平显著正相关,而成绩动机与英语水平显著负相关。文章还对研究结果在教学上的意义进行了讨论。
