母语思维与高中英语口语能力的相关研究

论文摘要

随着中国加入WTO,对外开放的力度加大,以及社会的发展,英语口语越来越显得重要,而目前我们学生的口语表达能力依然较差。在二语习得研究领域内,母语影响一直是个重要的研究课题。从现有的文献来看,大部分研究都是在分析母语(汉语)对二语(英语)写作过程和阅读过程的影响,几乎没有涉及母语(汉语)对二语(英语)口语表达的影响,尤其是高中生英语口语表达的影响,因此有必要在这方面进行研究。文章首先回顾了语言和母语思维关系的理论,以及母语在二语习得过程中的迁移理论和相关研究,其次通过一项高中学生在英语口语表达过程中使用中英文两种语言思维的“有声思维”实验,探讨母语思维在英语口语表达中的参与量,以及母语思维与英语口语表达能力之间的关系。笔者选取目前执教的闽江学院附属中学两个班中30人来进行“有声思维”实验,首先要求被试者先接受有声思维的培训,然后参加口语测试。笔者对整个测试过程进行录音,然后对录音的内容进行统计并请本校两位英语教师对被试者的口语内容打分。最后将这些数据输入计算机通过SPSS15.0进行分析,实验结果表明高中生在英语口语表达过程中的母语参与量平均为58.83%,母语使用量与口语能力以及母语使用量与二语水平呈现负相关关系。
