“构式驱动”读写教学模式下的构式习得研究

Experimental Research on Construction Acquisition in the Construction-driven Reading and Writing Teaching Mode

以构式语法理论为指导,在英语专业“英语读写”课程中开展“构式驱动”读写教学模式的研究,旨在考察大学英语专业的学生英语构式习得的特点,并验证“构式驱动”读写教学模式促进构式习得与产出的有效性。研究发现:构式的习得与产出效果需要一个较长周期来验证;与泛读文本主题相关的渐进式写作任务,能激发阅读材料与写作文本的协同效应;构式概念和构式语法知识能有效促进构式的习得与产出;“构式驱动”读写教学模式有利于提升衔接构式、从句构式、短语构式,尤其是半固定的能产构式的习得效率及产出熟练度。

Based on the theory of construction grammar,a tracking experiment on the efficacy of the construction-driven reading and writing teaching model was applied to the English reading and writing course for English majors,with the aims to examine the Chinese EFL learners’developing features in English construction acquisition and verify the effectiveness of construction-driven reading and writing teaching mode in enhancing construction output.The research results show as follows:it takes a long period to verify the effects of the construction acquisition and output,for example,in terms of the acquisition of construction types and use frequency,the advantage of the experimental group over the control group are not significant until the third and fourth semesters;progressive writing tasks related to the extensive reading topic can stimulate the synergistic effect of reading materials and writing texts;construction concept and construction grammar knowledge can effectively promote the acquisition and output of construction;construction-driven reading and writing teaching model contributes to the acquisition efficiency and output proficiency of cohesive constructs,subordinate constructs,phrasal constructs,especially semi-fixed productive constructs.
