高职学生英语听力元认知策略的研究

论文摘要

本论文旨在调查高职大专学生听力元认知策略的基本状况。主要研究问题分别为:(1)学生在听力过程中主要使用的元认知策略有哪些?(2)元认知策略的运用是否能更好地促进听力理解?(3)哪些因素可能影响学生对听力元认知策略的使用?论文采用问卷调查、回溯口述和采访方式,所得数据通过SPSS进行定量分析,并使用Vandergrift(1997)所设计的元认知听力策略分类进行定性分析。来自广州工商职业技术学院外语系的129名学生参与此次调查。本次研究主要发现有;首先,高职大专学生最常使用的听力元认知策略分别是注意力策略、问题指认策略和监控策略。其次,调查表明元认知策略运用有利于听力理解。学习英语年限、学习经验和信念等因素都会影响到听力元认知策略。本次研究的结果对英语教学和学习有一定促进作用。
