大学生英语课堂口头纠正性反馈学习者信念对比研究

The Comparative Study of College Students’ Beliefs about Oral Corrective Feedback in English Classes

本研究对英语专业和非英语专业学习者的纠正性反馈学习者信念进行了问卷调查,从学习者对于纠正性反馈的整体态度、优先反馈的错误类型、反馈时机和反馈方式的偏好四个方面进行了对比研究。研究结果表明,学习者信念受到文化背景、教学环境和语言水平的影响,并不完全相同,是动态变化的。两组学习者对纠正性反馈均持有积极态度,但是英语专业学习者有更强的焦虑感;两组学习者都重视语法错误的反馈,但是英语专业学习者对影响有效交际的错误和语音错误更为关注;两组学习者都希望在表达结束时得到反馈;两组学习者都优先选择显性纠正和重述的方式,而英语专业学习者更希望得到澄清请求的反馈方式。

The research conducts the comparative study of college students’beliefs about oral corrective feedback in English classes from non-English major students to English major students through questionnaire from the perspectives of beliefs of CF in general,the error types,the timing of CF and the preferred techniques of CF.The results indicate that students’beliefs are not the same but dynamic,influenced by cultural background,instructional context and language proficiency.Both groups of learners welcome CF in general,but English major students hold more anxiety towards CF;both groups prefer to receive CF about grammatical errors,but English major students are more concerned with the errors that may impede communication and errors in pronunciation;both groups prefer to receive CF at the end of expression;both groups prefer to receive the CF techniques of explicit correction and recast,but English major students prefer the clarification request at the same time.
