大学英语课堂环境、班级归属感与英语水平的相关性研究——以闽江学院外国语学院英语专业为例

An Empirical Study on the Correlation among English Classroom Environment, Sense of Class Belonging and English Proficiency: Taking English Majors from College of Foreign Languages of Minjiang University as an Example

通过问卷调查筛选出111位大学三年级英语专业学生作为研究对象,旨在探索大学英语课堂环境、班级归属感与英语水平三者之间的关系。研究结果表明:目前英语专业本科生所感受的英语课堂环境在总体上处于中等水平,但课堂参与和教师支持方面有待进一步提高;学习者所感受的班级归属感是积极肯定的;学习者所感知的班级归属感与英语课堂环境正相关显著;学习者所感知的同学关系、课堂参与、任务取向、学生责任、教师支持以及班级归属感与学生的英语专业四级成绩呈显著正相关关系,但同学合作、平等性、教师领导以及教师创新方面与英语专业四级成绩并无显著相关性。这些发现对我国大学英语教学有一定的启示作用。
