浅析非英语专业大学生英语写作的若干问题——基于CLEC语料库及问卷调查的研究

Teaching of Non-English Majors' Writing in English: A CLEC-based Study

本文以CLEC语料库为基础,统计出在非英语专业大学生的英语写作中占比排前三的用词、词形和语句错误,分析错误的发生多由母语影响所致。而词汇量匮乏多导致过度使用话语标记,同时"保留了母语的语言项目、规则和子系统"的英语为中介语言亦影响话语标记的过度使用。问卷调查的结果表明,相应提高英语写作能力方面的培养标准,非英语专业大学生是能够接受的。鉴于此,本文建议在非英语专业的英语教学中要有更多具备使用语料库能力的英语教师,还要设计并使用操作简易、功能强大的语料库学习软件,教师在使用现有教材时既要根据主题建立单元的内容目标,还要根据CLEC语料库建立单元的语言目标。
