社会/情感策略对英语口语表达影响的实证研究——对两位非英语专业大学生的个案分析

An Attentive Study of Influences of Social/affective Strategies on Oral English—A Case Study of Non-English Majors

该研究以某高校两位非英语专业大学生为研究对象,通过采访、问卷调查及口语测试,具体分析了社会/情感策略对大学生口语表达的影响。研究发现:英语口语能力的提升需要学习外驱力,更需要内驱力;对负面情感因素的有效控制有利于降低学习焦虑,提高语言流利度和灵活性;不失时机的寻求用英语交流,有利于提高口语表达能力。

Previous studies have proved that appropriate language learning strategies assist second language learning. Participants of the current research are two non-English majors. Recordings of their oral test were transcribed and coded. The questionnaire was coded and analyzed. Data from three interviews, and one oral test were then analyzed. Findings are the following ones: the improvement of spoken English needs both external and internal motivations; deliberate use of reversing negative feelings of the learner’s ability to accomplish a task helps lowering the learner’s anxiety and thus improve the learner’s oral language perfor?mance; seeking chances to speak English has positive influences on spontaneous discourse processing, flexibility, and fluency.
