英语专业低年级学生书面语语篇能力的调查研究

Assessment of English Textual Competence of English Major Students at Junior Grades

在构建语篇能力的理论框架的基础上,设计了综合测试英语学习者书面语语篇输入和输出能力的调查问卷,以定量和错误分析相结合的方法,以英语专业低年级学生为调查对象,对他们的英语书面语语篇输入和输出能力综合进行了研究。研究得出:1)英语专业低年级学生的英语书面语语篇能力很低;2)经过一年的系统学习,二年级学生的语篇能力有所提高,略高于一年级学生。通过错误分析得出英语专业低年级学生在各项语篇知识的掌握上均存在不少困难。针对发现的问题,提出了五点教学和学习建议。
