大学英语学习者英语写作焦虑诱发因素及表现特征研究

On the Inducing Factors and Performance Representations of English Writing Anxieties from College English Learners

本研究以396名大二年级英语学习者为被试,探讨了我国大学英语学习者英语写作焦虑诱发因素及表现特征,研究结论如下:英语写作焦虑主要包含写作者个体焦虑诱发因素(表达能力、语言能力和篇章能力)和写作过程焦虑诱发因素(评阅反馈、任务特征和输出方式)六个构成成分;英语写作焦虑及其诱发因素表现不存在性别差异,不同性别英语学习者在课堂英语写作过程中普遍存在英语写作焦虑情绪;英语写作焦虑及其诱发因素与英语写作水平变量之间存在显著负相关,语言能力和评阅反馈两个诱发因素联合对英语写作水平具有显著预测作用,其中语言能力诱发因素对英语写作水平影响力大于评阅反馈诱发因素。

With 396 second-year Chinese college English learners as the subjects, the present study administers a battery of tests to investigate the inducing factors and the performance representations of the English writing anxieties. The results show that: the English writing anxieties consist of six components—the inducing factors from the language learners(expression competence, language competence and discourse competence)and the inducing factors from the writing process(feedback process, task characteristics and output modes);the performance representations of the English writing anxieties donot demonstrate the gender discrimination, but they do show the same characteristics among the male and female college English learners during the class English writing process;there does exist significantly negative correlation between the English writing anxieties and the English writing proficiency, of which the inducing factors of language competence and feedback process demonstrate the significant influence on the English writing proficiency with the priority of the former one over the latter one.
