英语发音自我概念、语音学习策略和语音成绩之间关系的研究

论文摘要

随着二语习得领域的重心从教师和教法转向学生和学法,学生的情感受到越来越多教育者和研究者的关注。自我概念是指个人对自我的感知及能够导致自我认同意识的概念。多项研究表明自我概念作为情感因素的重要组成部分,对于语言习得有着深刻的影响,这种影响不仅表现在学习结果方面,而且表现在学习过程本身。自20世纪70年代起,语言学习策略一直受到广泛推崇。关于学习策略的研究侧重点各有不同,其中包括策略使用与学习成绩之间的关系及影响学习策略使用的因素等。本研究旨在从语音学习的角度探索语言自我概念,语言学习策略及语言学习成绩之间的关系。本研究的对象是来自湖北大学知行学院英语专业的62名学生。数据通过3项研究工具获取,分别测得学生发音自我概念水平,语音学习策略情况及语音成绩。通过对数据进行描述性分析,相关分析,方差分析和回归分析,结果表明发音自我概念和语音成绩之间,发音自我概念与语音学习策略之间存在非常显著的相关；语音学习策略与语音成绩之间不存在具有统计意义的显著相关。本研究证实了发音自我概念对语言学习的重要影响,对将来的二语／外语学习与教学有着实用的价值。
