语言距离对彝族学生三语学习的影响

The Effects of Language Distance in Yi Students' Learning of a Third Language

语言距离与语言迁移具有密切联系,客观语言距离使学习者产生或远或近的主观语言距离。从我国彝族地区的情况看,英语是彝族学生学习的第三语言,对英语产生较近的语言距离有助于学习,反之,则阻碍其学习。因此,厘清彝语同汉语、英语之间存在的异同,使学生产生较近的主观语言距离,可促进英语教学水平的提高。

There is close relationship between language distance and language transfer.Typological language distance may produce in the learners a widened or narrowed perceived language distance.English is the third language of minority learners.Developing a shortened perceived language distance can help learners,otherwise,may create additional difficulties.Therefore,examining the differences among the students’mother tongue,Mandarin and English,and bringing learners closer to the target language will improve the teaching and learning standards.
