中国学习者英语定冠词习得中负面证据的效应

论文摘要

本研究通过三次历时的测试,运用定量分析的方法对负面证据在汉语学生英语定冠词习得中的有效性进行实证研究。来自湖北工业大学两个分级班的80名非英语专业新生参加了这三次测试,三次测试包括141个英语句子,总共150个删掉的英语定冠词,这些题目主要参考了Celce-Murcia and Larsen-Freeman （1999）和Hawkins （1978）的著作。在前测后,实验组的学生接受了4个课时的实验教学,其间,作者向学生提供了大量的负面证据。而对照组的学生则只接受了以正确句子为主的正面证据输入。随后,所有学生进行了第一次后测,5个月之后,进行了第二次后测。本研究的所有结果都输入了电脑,借助SPSS 13.0统计软件进行数据处理。首先采用独立样本T检验验证了实验组和对照组在英语水平和英语定冠词习得水平上不存在显著差异,接着使用独立样本T检验和配对样本T检验验证在实验教学过后,实验组的学生在后测中是否表现出成绩的提高,和对照组比较差异是否显著。并验证负面证据对于英语定冠词习得是否有长期效果。本次研究结果表明,实验教学后的测试中,实验组表现出成绩的明显提高,从统计学角度看差异显著,从而得出论证:以负面证据为主的教学从短期来看能大幅促进英语定冠词的习得。而在5个月之后的测试中,实验组的优势消失了,从统计学角度已见不到明显差异。从而说明,负面证据对于英语定冠词习得只有短期效果而没有长期效果。
