文化资本理论视野下的英语学习动机与自我认同的建构——对理工科硕士研究生英语学习的定量考察

Motivation and the Construction of Self-Identities from the Perspective of ＂Cultural Capital Theory＂ ： A Quantitative Study of the English Learning of Master Students of Science and Engineering

文化资本理论认为，学习者的动机以及自我认同不仅仅是一个心理学概念，更是一个社会学概念。诸多体现学习者社会阶层的个人因素与学生的学习动机，自我认同相互交织，相互影响。本研究对某综合性大学的理工科硕士研究生开展定量考察，分析代表英语学习者社会阶层的个人因素，学习动机及自我认同的特点及相互关系。研究表明，在硕士研究生阶段，理工科的英语学习者间表现为学习动机，自我认同的差异往往与其所处的社会阶层有一定的联系。不同社会阶层的英语学习者与英语学习过程的互动也不尽相同。在日渐多元的社会，如何构建和谐的英语学习生态，帮助来自不同地域以及不同社会阶层的学生获得最大的发展，是英语老师需要探讨的课题。

According to Cultural Capital Theory, motivation and self-identity is not just a psychological concept, but also a social concept. A quantitative study on the English learning of master students of science and engineering was to analyze the personal factors that originate from different social groups, leaners＇ motivation and self-identities, and their interrelationships. The study shows that the learners＇ differences in motivation and self-identity have some relation with their social groups, and students from various social groups also interact differently with the language learning process.
