非英语专业学生以小组活动形式参与课堂的交际意愿

The Willingness of Non-English Majors to Participate in Class in Groups

此项关于非英语专业学生课堂英语交际意愿的研究以小组活动形式为切入点,采用了问卷调查,实验和访谈三种方式来收集数据。数据分析的结果发现,小组形式下非英语专业学生的课堂交际意愿较强,但小组形式是否是促进课堂交际意愿的手段还有待进一步的研究和验证。然而此研究意外地发现中国传统文化对英语课堂交际意愿有较大的影响。除了Wen and Clement提到的冒险性和小组协作外,中庸思想和尊重权威意识也是重要的影响因素。

This willingness to communicate research on group work aims to testify whether group work is an effective way in promoting non-English major students’communicating willingness.However,this research result can only testify that students are willing to communicate in groups but cannot testify group work is a method to promote willingness to communicate.Nevertheless,surprisingly the findings also show that traditional Chinese culture has a positive effect on students’willingness to communicate.Apart from Wen and Clement’s views of teamwork and risk taking,the thought of the mean and the conseiousness of respecting authority are also important.
