英语学习者语言学习信念稳定性研究

A Study of the Stability of Beliefs about Language Learning of English Learners

作为语言学习中的重要个体差异,语言学习信念是相对稳定的,但并非一成不变,而是不断发展变化的。语言学习信念受诸多因素的影响,影响语言学习信念的因素主要有两类:外部原因和内部原因。以外部原因———语言学习经历的研究为侧重点,采用焦点小组访谈,调查了英语学习者中学和大学阶段的语言学习经历以及他们在中学阶段和大学阶段对语言学习的看法。结果表明:中学和大学阶段的英语学习信念有很大的不同;英语学习信念随着语言学习经历的不同而发生变化。

As an important individual difference in language learning, beliefs about language learning are relatively stable, but they are static, but changing over time. They are influenced by many factors which fall into two main categories ： external and internal. The present study focuses on one of the external factors ： language learning experience. Via focus group interviews, the study investigated English learning experiences in secondary school and university and their corresponding beliefs about language learning. The results show that： there was a big difference in beliefs about language learning between secondary school and university; beliefs about language learning changes with the change of language learning experiences.
