大学生英语语音意识与产出性词汇研究

论文摘要

到目前为止,国内外许多学者已经对语音意识进行过研究。其中大部分研究着眼于语音意识与阅读能力之间的相互关系。而有关成人英语学习者语音意识与其基本语言能力关系的研究甚少。因此,进行有关进一步探讨语音意识与其他基本语言能力(如听力,口语,写作)之间相互关系的研究就显得尤为必要。本研究旨在探讨非英语专业学生英语语音意识与产出性词汇的相关性,同时,对语音意识的不同语言层面之间的相关性也进行了研究。本研究中被试为随机挑选的52名黑龙江大学水文与水资源工程专业大一学生。实验工具包括英语语音意识测验和产出性词汇测验两大部分,其中语音意识测试共十项任务;产出性词汇测验采用了Nation (2001)的产出性词汇水平测试试卷。通过SPSS (Statistics Package for the Social Science,社会科学统计软件包)17.0进行数据分析和统计,实验结果表明:(1)各种语音意识任务之间密切相关。(2)英语语音意识与产出性词汇之间存在显著正相关。(3)相比较语音意识中的音节意识与韵首韵尾意识,音素意识对产出性词汇具有较好的预测作用。从本研究的结论可以得出,提高大学生的英语语音意识能帮助其在产出性词汇学习方面取得进步,并以此预测其词汇学习的效果。因此,在教学实践中英语教师应充分认识到将语音意识训练与产出性词汇知识二者结合起来教学的必要性和紧迫性。
