摘要
This paper reports on a series of Consciousness-Raising （C-R） activities focusing on prefabricated verbs chunks and verb patterns. An 18-week experiment was carried out incorporating the C-R activities into a Comprehensive English Course. A writing task and semi-structured interviews were administered after the experiment. Results indicated that （1） the frequency and accuracy of verb patterns used by Experimental Group （EG） were higher than those in the Control Group （CG）; （2） C-R activities promoted the use of the students’ reference material and their ability to notice gaps in meaning, enhanced their interest and confidence in learning English, and guided their personal learning of vocabulary; （3） the EG generally liked the activities.
本研究设计了一系列针对动词词块和动词词汇型式的意识提高活动,并将它们纳入120名英语专业学生的综合英语教学中,进行了为期18周的实验,最后实施了写作测试和半开放式访谈。实验结果表明:(1)实验组在作文中使用动词型式的频率和准确度高于控制组;(2)实验组对活动基本上持支持态度;(3)意识提高活动促使学生使用参考资料,帮助他们认识到自己与本族语者的语言使用差异,增强学生学习英语的兴趣和信心,并指导其自主学习。
