大学英语自主学习理论与实践研究的得与失

Language Learner Autonomy Research in China: Achievements and Defects——Inspiration from Its Academic History

大学英语自主学习研究应该立足中国现实,加强"情境观""能力观""心理观"的沟通与对话,既要培养学习者自主学习的意愿和能力,又要为学习者进行语言自主学习提供必要的物质条件,还要充分考虑我国特定的教育传统和社会文化背景,凝结共同的教育价值取向。在研究范式和研究方法上,要打破国外和传统的局囿,进行多学科(甚至跨学科)、多视角、多维度、多方法的立体式研究,揭示中国语境中语言自主学习的样貌、本质和规律是构建具有中国特色的语言自主学习理论体系的关键所在。

The concept of autonomy in language teaching and learning is usually interpreted from three perspectives： learning contexts,learners’ ability and learners’ psychological needs,and there is no denying the fact that the three perspectives inevitably isolate the inner from the outer conditions for autonomous learning,thus handicaping its research and quest. These different viewpoints are expected to negotiate with and borrow from each other so that learner’s willingness and ability could be nurtured to take responsibilty for their language learning,they could be provided with essential material conditions for their language learning and they could be guided in language learner autonomy by common education value orientation,meanwhile the specific educational,social and cultural traditions in which language learners live should be given careful consideration. These ideas are available for reference to improve the quality of language learner autonomy research and practice in China.
