口语思辨“一体化”教学对议论文写作反哺性的实证研究——基于思辨模型和产出导向法理论

The influence of an integrated critical oral English teaching approach on argumentative writing:An empirical research based on PEM and POA

英语专业'思辨能力'的培养一直是近年来外语界关注的热点问题,提升英语专业学生的思辨能力已成为学术界的共识。本研究以Paul-Elder思辨模型(PEM)和文秋芳提出的产出导向法(POA)为理论基础,以口语思辨'一体化'课堂为依托,通过定量与定性的研究方法,对某校英语专业二年级121名学生进行思辨能力问卷调查和写作思辨能力测评,研究发现PEM思辨模型和POA模型不仅对提高学生整体思辨能力有帮助,还能够从清晰性、相关性、逻辑性和深刻性这四个维度上提高学生议论文写作水平。

English majors’critical literacy has been a research focus in the field of foreign language education.Improving students’critical literacy has become a common view of scholars.Based on the Paul-Elder’s critical thinking model(PEM)and production-oriented approach(POA)proposed by Wen Qiufang,this paper reports on an empirical study of 121 students’development on critical thinking and argumentative writing skills after a critical teaching approach intervention in the oral English class.The study bears two major findings:1)PEM and POA-based critical thinking teaching approach could improve students’overall critical literacy;and 2)The adoption of PEM and POA in teaching could improve students’argumentative writing in terms of clarity,relevance,logic and depth.
