理工科院校非英语专业学生词汇习得 ——显性教学与隐性教学效果对比研究

论文摘要

在二语词汇习得领域,什么是教授词汇的最佳方法这个问题仍然没有确切答案。本研究旨在调查显性教学法和隐性教学法在词汇习得方面的教学效果。两组共121名非英语专业工科院校的大一学生参加了本次实验。两组学生分别接受显性教学和隐性教学。在实验前和实验后他们分别参加了一个前测和两个后测,旨在检验两种教学效果是否有差异。结果表明(1)两种教学方法都能促进学生的词汇习得;(2)两种教学方法的效果有显著差异,隐性教学效果优于显性教学;(3)在两次后测中,接受隐性教学的小组在词汇习得数量和词汇知识深度上都明显优于接受显性教学的小组。
