Abstract

This article reports initial parts of a classroom-based action research aimed to teach students to write a literature review (LR), which is considered as a critical, yet often overlooked genre, thus posing difficulties to the students. The existing works on LRs appear to treat the ability to write overviews of individual studies, and to combine them in acceptable ways, as assumed knowledge. In fact, for the learners in the context of the study, and in many second- and foreign-language learning contexts, such abilities are not shared among learners. Therefore, in the implementation of an initial short course, a genre analysis of 60 literature reviews from publications and completed theses in applied linguistics was conducted to identify suitable generic patterns used in literature reviews that could be implemented in the context. The result is a pedagogical genre of literature review, a genre description of LRs appropriate for the students’ English proficiency level, outlined in detail in this article with the teaching implication for this pedagogical context.

确定文学评论的教学流派
本文报道了一项基于课堂的行动研究的最初部分,该研究旨在教学生撰写文献综述(LR),这被认为是一种批判性但经常被忽视的类型,因此给学生带来了困难。关于LRs的现有工作似乎将撰写个体研究综述的能力,以及以可接受的方式将其结合起来的能力,视为假设知识。事实上,对于学习者来说,在学习的背景下,以及在许多第二语言和外语学习的背景中,这些能力并没有在学习者之间共享。因此,在实施最初的短期课程时,对应用语言学出版物和已完成论文中的60篇文学评论进行了类型分析,以确定文学评论中使用的合适的通用模式,这些模式可以在上下文中实施。其结果是一种教学风格的文献综述,一种适合学生英语水平的LRs的风格描述,在本文中详细概述,并对这种教学背景进行教学启示。
