英语语音成功者与不成功者使用策略的差异研究

A study of differences in the use of learning strategies by good and poor learners of English phonology

本文运用混合研究法,考察英语语音成功者与不成功者在四类16项语音学习策略使用上的差异,并剖析差异存在的原因。结果表明,和不成功者相比,成功者使用语音策略的频率更高,种类更多,两组受试在自我评价型和模型听取型这两类策略以及6项具体策略的使用上存在显著差异。语音学习动机、语音观念和语音训练程度的不同是造成差异的主要原因。

Through a mixed research design, the present study first investigates the differences between good and poor learners of English phonology in their use of sixteen phonology learning strategies classified into four categories, and then analyzes the causes leading to the differences. The results show that the good learners tend to employ more strategies than the poor ones and use the same strategies with a higher frequency, with significant between-group differences existent in two strategy categories （self-evaluative and model-dependent） and six strategies. Those differences are due to learners＇ dissimilar phonology-learning motivation types, beliefs and phonological training degrees.
