二语习得动机:一个权变理论的综合概念框架

文章在对Gardner和Dornyei二语习得动机相关理论综述基础上,基于权变理论,构建了一个二语习得动机研究的概念框架。该框架的主要内容是:(1)动机是影响二语习得效果的核心变量;(2)动机包括了具有互动特点的选择、执行和评价三个阶段;(3)宏观的社会因素、中观的课堂、家庭与学生群体因素以及微观的习得者自身因素均为动机的影响因素,且三个因素在相互影响的同时,对动机的影响因时间与个体的差异而不同。该框架从动机研究的理论基础以及影响因素的动态性两个层面丰富了二语动机研究,进而为二语习得策略的灵活与调整提供了理论依据。

Based on reviewing Gardner and Dornyei's Theory of Second Language Acquisition(SLA),this paper introduces Contingency Theory and constitutes an analytical framework of SLA motivation.The major contents are:(1)motivation is the central influencing factor of SLA;(2)L2 motivation includes three periods with interactive characteristics,that is,choice,executive motivation and motivation retrospection;(3)macroscopic social factors,mesoscopic group factors such as classroom,family and students,and microscopic personal factors like learners themselves.These three kinds of variables influence one another,and have different roles according to learner and time.This paper enriches the SLA research from theoretical foundation and dynamics of influential factors,and also intends to find theoretical support for the flexibility and adjustment of SLA strategies.
