读后续写在英语冠词学习中的效应及影响因素研究

Effectiveness of Continuation Tasks on the Learning of English Articles

本研究探讨了读后续写任务及阅读任务两种不同条件下英语学习者的英语冠词学习效果及其影响因素。结果发现:(1)读后续写能够有效促进高水平及低水平英语学习者的冠词学习,但对中等水平学习者的冠词学习未产生显著影响;(2)读后续写对冠词的促学效果不受学习动机的影响;(3)读后续写对冠词的促学效果优于单纯的阅读任务。实验结果表明,冠词教学可配合读后续写任务,并且在教学过程中需考虑学习者英语水平的影响。

This study investigated the effectiveness of continuation tasks on article learning through the comparison of the study results between the continuation tasks and the reading task. The 65 participants were selected from a senior high school and divided into two classes： a continuation class and a reading class. The study examined the effectiveness of continuation tasks on article learning from both motivation and English level perspectives. Results revealed that：1） the continuation task could significantly facilitate the English article learning of high-level and low-level English learners but it couldn＇t significantly improve the article learning of middle-level learners; 2） learners＇ English language learning motivation didn＇t show any obvious influence on the effectiveness of continuation tasks; 3） the effects of the continuation task were superior to those of the reading task. Besides,reading task was not an efficient facilitator of article learning. It was found that article teaching could align with continuation tasks and the individual factors like students＇ English level should be taken into account.
