Study on College Students' Competence in Oral Composition in Application-Oriented Universities Under Perspective of MI-Theory

英语教学中英语口头作文能力是英语专业学生综合实践能力检测的重要手段,也是应用型高校英语专业人才培养的核心技能之一。作者以中国传媒大学南广学院英语专业高年级学生为研究对象,采用定量研究与访谈调查等基本研究手段进行调研;在教学环节中以原文模仿背诵、即兴描述、即兴复述、改述、看图会话、即兴演讲、话题评议与辩论等不同梯度的能力训练为基础形成多元课堂,针对45位学生两个学期的学习进行考察与分析。实证课堂中有效运用多元化教学观辅以口头作文教学策略,可有效提高学生英语口语即兴表达水平;多元的课堂策略可强化学生口头表达兴趣与自我认知、从一定意义上保障与提升英语学习者语言输出能力与质量。
