中国高中词块方法的教学条件与词汇程度研究

论文摘要

本论文基于中国高中学生英语词汇习得所做的实验,及其对实验结果讨论分析的定量定性研究,试图找出词块习得的条件及其对语言能力提高的功效。此外,本文作者还希望本研究结果能够对词汇理论的研究提供一定的参考价值。人们普遍认为词汇是语言习得的中心,而词块,由于其种种特征,则成为语言教学与习得的理想单位。因此,本文作者假定如果在英语教学中强调词块,学生的英语成绩将有明显的进步,并做了一个实验来检验这个假定。实验结果与假定并不完全相同,作者试图从三个方面解释其原因。在实证研究的结果以及对其相关的分析的基础上,作者首先建议学生应该区别对待不同层次的词汇:有些词汇应该深度学习,有些词汇浅度学习就可以了;其次,作者分析了词块和一些英语基本技能之间的关系;最后,她对今后此领域的研究给出一些建议。
