中国三语学习者英语和法语水平的相关性研究

The Correlation Between English and French Proficiency of Chinese Trilingual Learners

在全球化的背景下,多语学习和多语教学在中国越来越普及。在多语习得中,语际影响的现象比在二语习得中更为复杂。先前学习的L2是否会影响L3的学习?从三语习得的角度,研究选择了中国大学中112名法语专业大学生的英语大学四级和法语专四成绩作为研究数据,以探讨英语(L2)能力和法语(L3)学习成效之间的潜在关系。研究结果表明,中国学习者的英语和法语水平之间存在正相关关系,并且通过回归分析,建立了预测方程式。其次,研究还发现,对于中国学生而言,英语(L2)的阈值水平对于产生显著相关性至关重要。门槛水平大致相当于雅思考试5.5的水平。根据研究结果,类比教学方法是值得提倡的。

In the context of globalization,multilingual learning and teaching have become more and more popular in China.The phenomenon of cross-linguistic influence is more complex in L3 acquisition than in L2 acquisition.Does the previously learned L2 affect L3 acquisition?From the perspective of trilingual acquisition,the English and French national test proficiency scores of 112 French major students in Chinese universities were selected as the research data to explore the potential relationship between English(L2)proficiency and French(L3)learning.The research results showed a positive correlation between English and French proficiency among Chinese learners,and a predictable equation was established through regression analysis.In addition,the study reveals that a threshold level of English(L2)is essential to generate a significant correlation.The threshold level is roughly equivalent to the level of IELTS 5.5.According to the results,the analogical teaching method is advocated.
