大学英语合作写作过程中同伴间对话研究

A Study of Peer Dialogues in College English Collaborative Writing Process

合作型写作已在大学英语写作课堂中越来越受到重视和认可。通过对合写者间的互动对话进行定量和定性分析,探寻合写时合作者关注的主要问题有哪些以及解决这些问题的主要策略。研究结果表明,写作内容层面和语言层面的问题是合作者讨论关注的重点,这一点与写作者个体写作时的情况类似。面对合写时的认知冲突,合写者往往通过讨论协商,重建思维,解决分歧。同时,同伴间的互动往往促成"集体性语言建架"的形成,有利于同伴间的互相学习。

There is growing recognition of the importance of collaborative writing in college English writing instruction.The present study sets out to investigate the major concerns of and strategies used by the collaborative writers when discussing a written text by quantitative and qualitative analysis of the peer dialogues collected in the joint writing process.Results suggest that content-and language-related issues are the two major concerns of the collaborative writers,which is quite similar to those found in the individual writing process.Moreover,peer negotiation plays a great role in reconstructing thinking and resolving the cognitive conflicts among the co-writers and their interaction always facilitates ＂collaborative scaffolding＂,which makes them learn from each other.
