交际法条件下词块与成人英语口语流利性关系的研究

Research on the Relationship between Lexical Chunks and the Fluency of Adults' Spoken English in Communicative Approach

词块是指可预置的、形式相对固定的且能作为整体记忆储存的多词单位或组合。口语学习者可以从记忆中整体提取词块以帮助生成口语。本研究的目的是为了检验在交际法条件下使用词块教学法是否能改善提高成人口语学习者的英语口语流利性。由成人学员组成的口语学习班完成了十周100课时的英语口语教学任务,其中实验班使用的是交际法条件下的词块教学法,控制班则使用无词块教学辅助的交际教学法。本研究实验手段为独立样本T检验以及配对样本T检验,实验分三个步骤完成。实验结果表明实验班学员比控制班学员在英语口语流利性方面学习效果显著。笔者希望本研究结论有助于提高成人英语口语教学。
