词汇水平与EFL作文的关系探求

通过定量结合定性分析的方法,对英语专业二年级学生的词汇和写作水平进行研究,结果发现:被动词汇量对写作水平有一定程度的显著影响,但即使是被视为最重要的单门课程里的课本识记词汇量对写作也没有显著影响,能对写作发挥较显著影响作用的是综合词汇量;自由主动词汇量比被动词汇量对作文的影响更大更直接,较大的被动词汇量是写作水平的基本保障,也同时是自由主动词汇量的必要条件,但词汇量只是影响作文水平的其中一个重要因子。该研究对英语教学有一定的启示作用。

How Does Vocabulary Knowledge Affect Chinese EFL Learners' Writing Quality in Web-based Settings?—Evaluating the Relationships Among Three Dimensions of Vocabulary Knowledge and Writing Quality

This study investigated the relationships among different dimensions of vocabulary knowledge （passive, controlled active and free active vocabulary knowledge） and how they affect EFL learners＇ writing quality. Participants were a whole class of web-based English learners （N = 31） of tertiary level in the Chinese mainland. The results show that free active （above 2000） vocabulary knowledge has a much stronger correlation with controlled active than passive vocabulary knowledge, and writing quality has a stronger correlation with free active vocabulary knowledge than with the other two dimensions of vocabulary knowledge.
