输入模态对语言形式注意及习得的影响研究

The Effects of Input Modality on Noticing and Acquisition of Language Forms

本研究考察了视、听输入模态对语言形式的注意及习得的作用,以及学习者语言水平是否起到调节作用,通过对初一、高一和英语专业二年级学生进行的视、听输入模态对比实验发现:1)视觉输入启动的对语言形式的注意高于听觉输入,但是随着语言水平的提高,学习者对输入中目标语言形式的注意减少,并且输入模态差异引起的对语言形式注意的差异减小;2)在习得的初始阶段后,注意对习得的推进作用比较有限。

This study examined how audio and visual input triggered noticing and influenced subsequent acquisition of language,and whether language proficiency mediated the results. A comparison study between audio and visual input was conducted among Chinese learners of English in Grade 7,Grade 10 and English major sophomores. It was found that language learners noticed more language forms in visual input than in audio input,but the gap,and frequency of noticing,diminished with the development of language proficiency. The facilitative effects of noticing was quite limited after early stage of acquisition.
