真实语料在非英语专业大学英语教学中的应用探析

论文摘要

本文以172名非英语专业大学一年级为研究对象,通过使用试验、调查问卷及课堂观察的研究方法,分析论证将真实语料引入大学英语主流课堂的可行性及效果,并以样本课为例介绍了真实语料的使用方法,以期为英语教学研究与实践提供一些可借鉴的思路。本文中的研究对象被分为三组——控制组、试验组A和试验组B,试验周期为16周,研究者通过对比分析试验前后的课堂观察、调查问卷和语言测试的结果发现试验组在学习兴趣、动力及英语技能方面有明显进步,而控制组则无明显变化。同时,真实语料使用的数量也会影响学生在学习兴趣、动力与成就方面的进步。此点在试验中被试验组A和试验组B相差一倍的真实语料使用量引起的研究对象学习兴趣、动力及成就等方面进步的差异所证明。
