输入与输出对口语发展的影响——两者教学效果的对照与研究

Effects of input and output on oral competence development

目前我国大学英语(非英语专业)口语教学的普通做法是强化输出操练，而Krashen提倡口语发展只需依靠大量自然输入。输出与输入对口语发展的影响一直众说纷坛、没有定论。笔者采用比较教学法，一方面在输入理论的基础上稍做调整，用非自然输入辅以少量输出的方法对实验组进行口语教学，另一方面在控制对照组输入量的情况下用强化输出法进行口语教学，本文根据两者教学效果的对照总结，旨在说明输入对口语发展的影响为第一性，输出为第二性，非自然输入运用于大学英语口语教学能够英器良好的效果。

At present output drills are widely adopted for non-English majors to improve their oral English. Natural input, on the other hand, is advocated by Krashen to be the sole element contributing to the promotion of oral competence. Much has been discussed about the two views, but nothing has come out as the final verdict as to which element , input or output, exerts a greater influence on oral competence development. This article suggests the primary role of input and the secondary role of output in oral competence development, based on the findings of a comparison between the author's two teaching methods: one focusing on output with the amount of input well-controlled and the other on unnatural input, a slightly modified version of input theory. The unnatural input consolidated by a small a-mount of output drills has yielded remarkable 'output' , i. e. oral competence development for non-English majors.
