“宏观规则”结合“修辞结构理论”培训EFL概要写作实证研究

On Effects of Applying Macrorules and RST to Develop EFL Summarization Ability

结合"宏观规则"和"修辞结构理论"培训学生概要写作并分析施教效果。对自然班39名英语专业学生实施三次概要写作培训,培训前、后实施概要能力测试,衡量工具采用Garner量表。前、后测数据采取配对样本T检验进行分析。结果显示,前、后测有显著性差异,后测高于前测,培训有显著性效果。对前、后测试卷文本分析发现后测中推理错误明显减少,使用上位词频率更高,出现更多对要点的整合。这表明施教效果显著。
