中国理工科硕士生英语语素意识与听力理解能力的关系研究

A study on the relationship between English morphological awareness and listening comprehension ability of Chinese science and engineering major postgraduates

本研究以60名中国理工科硕士生为被试,采用独立样本t检验、皮尔逊相关性分析与多元回归分析,考察英语语素意识在培训前后的变化、不同水平语素意识与听力理解能力的关系,以及不同类型语素意识与听力理解能力的关系。研究发现:语素意识培训能够显著提高英语学习者的语素意识;语素意识水平与听力理解能力呈显著正相关;不同类型语素意识按照对听力理解能力的预测力大小排列依次为复合语素意识、屈折语素意识和派生语素意识。最后,研究提出了语素意识教学的相关建议。

Taking 60 Chinese science and engineering major postgraduates as the subjects, and adopting the methods of independent-samples t test, Pearson’s correlation analysis and multiple regression analysis, the current study investigated the changes of English morphological awareness(MA) after morpheme training, the relationship between different levels of MA and listening comprehension ability, and the relationship between different types of MA and listening comprehension ability. It had several major findings. First, MA training significantly improved English learners’ MA. Second, MA was significantly positively correlated with listening comprehension ability. Third, compound MA exerted the most salient predictive influence on listening comprehension ability, followed by inflectional MA and derivational MA. Implications of the findings concerning MA training were discussed in the end.
