任务型语言教学中任务迁移现象研究

Research on“Transferable Task”in TBLT

以Benson的研究为基础,考察学习者经过培训后,是否能将任务完成能力迁移到新的任务中,结果发现,低水平学习者完成同种任务比完成不同种任务有更高的准确性和更快的反应速度,这反映了任务迁移的现象,而高水平学习者却没有体现出这方面特点。结合Krashen的输入假设理论“i+1”公式,提出“可迁移的任务”概念,并探讨相关研究结果对任务型语言教学学习任务的选择和安排的启示。

Task-based Language Teaching(TBLT)has received considerable attention in recent years.The present study,based on Benson’s study,investigates if L2 learners can transfer the abilities to complete tasks to new tasks after training.The results showed that L2 learners with low proficiency level completed test tasks similar to training tasks with greater accuracy and faster reaction times than test tasks different from training tasks,which proved the“task transfer”phenomenon,while L2 learners with higher proficiency level did not demonstrate this transfer ability.Based on the“i+1”Input Hypothesis of Stephen Krashen,the author put forward the concept of“Transferable Task”,and discussed the implication of the present study on how to select and sequence pedagogic tasks in TBLT.
