词汇自主学习训练对高中生英语词汇能力的影响

论文摘要

几十年来,自主学习的概念受到了国内外教育家和研究者的极大关注。随着对这一概念的实践和对学习者中心的倡导,《国家英语课程标准》将其纳入到教育政策领域,并将“培养学生自主学习能力”作为英语教育教学的核心内容和最主要的教育目标。作为语言学习基础的词汇学习,是高中学生发展语言‘能力的拦路虎。因此培养学生的词汇自主学习能力,对学生英语综合能力的提高意义重大。本文致力于通过词汇自主学习的学习者训练来提高学生的学习自主性和词汇能力。首先,基于对自主学习和词汇学习的理解,本研究通过问卷调查的形式从学生的态度、能力及策略使用这三个方面了解了现阶段高中学生的词汇自主学习现状。调查结果显示学生拥有一定的词汇自主学习能力但是情形仍不容乐观。鉴于调查的结果,为了提高学生的词汇能力,本研究开展了15周的词汇自主学习的学习者培养。词汇能力分别从产出性词汇知识、接受性词汇知识和词汇深度知识三个维度来测量。数据表明,通过学习者训练,学生的词汇能力有所提高,特别是接受性词汇知识和产出性词汇知识增加显著。虽然本研究在时间和实验设计上有缺陷,但是它为词汇教学和词汇学习都提供了有益的参考。
