输入强化对习得英语方式副词位置规则的影响

Effect of Input Enhancement on Acquisition of Manner Adverbs' Syntactic Position

以英语方式副词位置为强化对象,研究输入流、文本强化以及两者结合使用这三种输入强化方式是否能够帮助学习者习得英语方式副词的位置规则,并对其效果进一步深入探讨。实验结果表明:三种输入强化方式都能帮助学生习得方式副词位置规则,但输入强化的有效应用是有条件的,输入强化的效果会受研究中受试者以及被强化的对象等因素的影响。此外,相对于单一强化,复合强化通常更能有效地促进目标语的学习,但当单一强化能有效地促进目标语学习的时候,复合强化不能帮助学习者取得显著性的优异成绩,从而表明复合强化并不总是必要的。

The present study is to examine the effects of input flood,textual enhancement and the combination of the tw o on learners＇ acquisition of the syntactic rules of English manner adverbs and probe into their effects in depth. It is show n from the findings of this experiment that the three types of input enhancement are proven to be effective in helping the subjects acquire the rules. It is also indicated that the features of the subjects and the features of the target forms alike investigated play a part in the effects of these input enhancement techniques, show ing it is conditional but not unconditional to apply these input enhancement techniques. It is also suggested that compound enhancement w ill not be statistically significant in comparison w ith single enhancement, w hen the single enhancement is effective enough in processing the target forms regardless of the generally better performance of compound enhancement over the single enhancement in processing target forms,show ing it is not alw ays necessary to use compound enhancement.
