英语阅读中影响词汇附带习得因素的研究

The Factors Influencing the Efficacy on Incidental Vocabulary Acquisition in English Reading

词汇附带习得指学习者在进行有意义的语言使用活动或学习任务时,其注意力并非在词汇上,却无意中增加了词汇知识,是一种注意力聚焦于其它活动时顺便出现的认知活动。本文通过对吉林某大学英语专业大二学生阅读实验测试发现:阅读语篇的主题和阅读文章的生词密度都对词汇附带习得产生影响。通过探讨在阅读中影响词汇附带习得的相关因素,期望能够丰富二语习得的理论研究,同时对英语词汇教学也有一定的现实指导作用。
