中介理论下大学英语自主学习效果的实证研究

论文摘要

20世纪90年代,外语教学研究的核心己逐渐从教师转向学习者,人们普遍认识到,要提高学习效率,学习者应主动参与到学习过程中去,并承担更多的学习责任。现代化信息手段的飞速发展,使得大学英语“自学”成为可能。然而教师的作用多少被淡化了,自主学习的效果也受到质疑。另外由于经济条件的限制,还不能满足所有大学生自主学习的愿望。在这种背景下,如何充分有效地发挥教师的中介作用,促进学生自主学习能力的形成和发展迫在眉睫。本论文以维果茨基和费厄斯坦的中介理论为基础,主要探讨教师及学习伙伴的中介作用与大学英语自主学习效果的相关性,探索如何培养大学英语学习者的自主学习能力,帮助学生成为真正的自主学习者。在教学实验中,作者总结出8条实现教师中介作用的有效途径和6个原则。本研究的对象是河北金融学院97名非英语专业的07级本科学生,研究结果显示,中介理论指导下的大学英语自主学习效果明显。
