非语言交际对大学英语课堂教学的影响

论文摘要

生活在人类社会中,与他人交际是不可避免的。交际的过程由语言交际和非语言交际两个层面组成。事实上,在交际的过程中,尤其是在面对面的交际中,绝大多数信息是通过非语言交际的手段传递的。如果非语言交际和语言交际自相矛盾,难以统一时,听者往往会根据说者的非语言交际行为来判断其话语的真实意图。因为自觉或不自觉发出的非语言交际行为能够比语言更好地阐释信息的真实含义。因此,对非语言交际的研究越来越受到重视。课堂教学,作为一种重要的社会互动行为,从本质上来说,就是师生之间的信息交流。换句话说,就是师生通过语言和非语言的暗示来传递信息。由于教师在课堂教学中处于主导地位,所以教师的非语言交际行为对于课堂教学效果起着很大的影响。因为非语言交际的功能就是对于语言交际起到互为补充、替代、强调、矛盾、重复和规范的作用。但是由于非语言交际的复杂性和多层面性,要对非语言交际行为进行统一的分类十分困难。非语言交际既是交际过程中一个十分重要而且必不可少的部分,教师和学生在课堂教学中,对于非语言交际的运用能够在一定程度上影响课堂教学效果。因此,本文着重研究非语言交际对于大学英语课堂教学的影响。为此,本文作者随机选取了来自计算机专业和化生专业的学生进行了一次问卷调查。有趣的是,问卷调查的结果也证实了事前的假设——即非语言交际对于大学课堂教学具有一定的影响。这个研究可以给我们教师一些启示,即如何正确利用非语言交际来提高大学英语课堂教学的效果以及如何避免在课堂上使用不正确的客体语。最后,本文提出了一些切实可行的改进非语言交际行为的方法。
