摘要
Peer feedback is a key to the quality of group work in foreign language classrooms. In order to better understand the use of peer feedback in spoken English, a ten-week study was conducted by combining peer feedback with group work. Based on Scaffolding Instruction of Constructivism, this study chose three different tools - a checklist, a qualitative feedback sheet and a grading sheet, to guide peer feedback. A questionnaire survey and three interviews were adopted to investigate the students' views and attitude toward guided peer feedback. We found: (1) Guided peer feedback plays a positive role in improving the quality of group work and its three forms were positively received by the participants; (2) Among the three tools - the checklist, the qualitative feedback sheet and the grading sheet, the grading sheet was most welcomed; (3) Only by designing the appropriate peer feedback forms and the tasks at the same time, could peer feedback achieve good results.
同伴反馈是影响外语课上小组活动质量的重要因素。为了更好地了解同伴反馈在学生口语学习中的应用情况,作者在大学英语口语课上进行了为期十周的实验,在小组活动设计的同时设计同伴反馈任务。本研究以建构主义中的支架理论为导向,选用了检查表、质性评价表和打分表三种不同的工具来指导同伴反馈,并采用问卷和访谈结合的方法,调查了学生对有指导反馈的看法和态度。研究得出了以下结果 :1)有指导的同伴反馈在提高小组活动质量方面有积极的作用。同伴反馈的三种形式都得到了学生的认可。2)三种形式中打分表受欢迎程度最高。3)只有同时设计好同伴反馈与小组活动任务,同伴反馈才能取得好效果。
