This study compares flipped approach with self-regulated flipped approach on EFL learners’ collocational knowledge. Thirty available EFL students were randomly assigned to two equal experimental groups: flipped and self-regulated flipped. For six weeks, both groups received learning contents outside of class time, and class time was used for interactive activities. However, self-regulating strategies (goal-setting and self-evaluation) were employed to the self-regulated flipped participants to help them schedule their out-of-class time to effectively work on the content before class to interact collaboratively with their peers and teachers in class activities. Three collocation videos were sent to their different WhatsApp groups. A researcher-made test on Adjective + Noun and Verb + Noun collocations served as the pre- and post-test. The time spent on watching collocations was collected through a ‘study log’. The results of a mixed between-within subjects analysis of variance revealed that integrating self-regulation into flipped approach enhanced the students’ collocational knowledge; their planning strategies and using study time also improved. The study has implications for EFL teachers and material developers.
本研究比较了翻转教学法和自我调节翻转教学法对英语学习者搭配知识的影响。30名EFL学生被随机分配到两个相同的实验组:翻转式和自律翻转式。在为期六周的时间里,两组学生均接受课外学习内容,并利用课堂时间开展互动活动。然而,自我调节翻转参与者采用了自我调节策略(目标设定和自我评价),帮助他们安排课外时间,在课前有效地学习内容,在课堂活动中与同学和老师进行协作互动。三个搭配视频被发送到他们不同的 WhatsApp 群组。研究人员制作了一个关于形容词+名词和动词+名词搭配的测试作为前测和后测。通过 "学习日志 "收集了观看搭配视频所花费的时间。主体间-主体内混合方差分析的结果显示,将自我调节融入翻转教学法提高了学生的搭配知识;他们的计划策略和学习时间的使用也得到了改善。这项研究对 EFL 教师和教材编写者具有启示意义。

Rapid technological advances and enhanced global cooperation have led to tremendous changes in access to information and new modes of communication and, hence, calls have been made for instantaneous adjustments in education (Fullan, 2007). Despite global access to internet-enhanced modes of communication and up-to-date information on all subjects – including those relating to new and effective approaches to pedagogy – traditional teacher-centered teaching prevails in many EFL contexts. This is the case even though this approach to teaching has been insufficient to address challenges in EFL teaching. This study explores how the teaching beliefs of 12 EFL teachers changed as they learned to teach innovatively and to teach with features of learner-centeredness and L2 interaction. In the context of a MA program capstone course, the teachers were introduced to the essential elements, such as learner-centeredness and L2 interaction, involved in four approaches to teaching innovatively: task-based language teaching, problem-posing, scripting and oral interpretation, and extensive reading. The data analyzed comprised the teachers’ belief reports, written reflections on teaching interactively, interview accounts, and the teacher educator’s observational notes. The results of this study revealed changes in teachers’ beliefs about innovative teaching with the aforementioned features, the influential forces bringing about the change, and teachers’ growing expertise in using and drawing on concepts in teaching practice.
技术的飞速发展和全球合作的加强,使信息获取和新的交流模式发生了巨大变化,因 此,人们呼吁对教育进行即时调整(Fullan,2007 年)。尽管全球都能通过互联网获得增强型通信模式和所有学科的最新信息,包括与新的有效教学方法有关的信息,但在许多英语语言环境中,传统的以教师为中心的教学方法仍然盛行。尽管这种教学方法不足以应对 EFL 教学中的挑战,但情况依然如此。本研究探讨了 12 名 EFL 教师在学习创新教学以及以学习者为中心和 L2 互动教学的过程中,他们的教学信念是如何改变的。在一门硕士课程的顶点课程中,教师们学习了四种创新教学方法所涉及的基本要素,如以学习者为中心和 L2 互动,这四种方法是:基于任务的语言教学、提出问题、编写脚本和口头解释以及广泛阅读。分析的数据包括教师的信念报告、对互动教学的书面反思、访谈记录和教师教育者的观察记录。研究结果揭示了教师对具有上述特征的创新教学的信念变化、促成这种变化的影响因素,以及教师在教学实践中使用和借鉴这些概念的专业技能的增长情况。

Data-driven learning (DDL), the direct use of corpus by learners in the second language classroom, has been shown to be effective in improving learners’ acquisition of various English linguistic items (Boulton & Cobb, 2017). However, it is still limited to our knowledge regarding how learners interact with DDL-related materials or tools and how DDL works in the learning/teaching of languages other than English. This study aims to closely examine the cognitive processes of six learners of Chinese in using printed concordance-based materials to learn Chinese resultative constructions. These materials contained adapted complete concordance sentences drawn from the Lancaster Corpus for Mandarin Chinese (McEnery & Xiao, 2004). The results show that in general, learners employed various strategies when scrutinising the concordance lines, particularly cognitive strategies such as summarising and grouping. Differences among individual learners were also found: learners who used more diverse strategies with higher frequencies could successfully infer the regularities, which led to learning gains. The study provides some implications for effective teacher guidance in DDL.
数据驱动学习(DDL),即学习者在第二语言课堂上直接使用语料库,已被证明能有效提高学习者对各种英语语言项目的习得(Boulton & Cobb, 2017)。然而,对于学习者如何与 DDL 相关材料或工具互动,以及 DDL 如何在英语以外的语言学习/教学中发挥作用,我们的了解仍然有限。本研究旨在仔细研究六名汉语学习者在使用基于词典的印刷材料学习汉语结果结构时的认知过程。这些材料包含从兰开斯特普通话语料库(McEnery & Xiao, 2004)中提取的改编完整的连词句子。研究结果表明,一般来说,学习者在仔细阅读连词时会使用各种策略,尤其是认知策略,如总结和分组。研究还发现了学习者个体之间的差异:使用更多不同策略且频率较高的学习者可以成功推断出规律性,从而获得学习上的进步。这项研究为教师有效指导 DDL 提供了一些启示。

It is controversial whether English inflectional morphemes can be systematically borrowed into written Chinese since English and Chinese are typologically and orthographically different. This paper intends to investigate the borrowing of eight English inflectional morphemes [–’s (possessive), –(e)s (plural), –ed (past tense, past participle), –ing (present participle), –en (past participle),–s (the 3rd person singular), –er (comparative), and –est (superlative)] into Chinese with a corpus of Chinese newspapers collected from 2005 to 2021. The findings of this study suggest a significant presence of the systematically borrowed English inflectional morphemes into Chinese newspapers in terms of borrowability. Based on the analysis of the linguistic features and frequency distribution of the borrowed morphemes into Chinese newspapers, it can be concluded that the English inflectional morphemes borrowed can be well adapted into Chinese.
由于英语和汉语在类型学和正字法上的差异,英语词素能否被系统地借用到书面汉语中存在争议。本文以 2005 年至 2021 年收集的中文报纸语料为研究对象,探讨了 8 个英语屈折词[-'s(所有格)、-(e)s(复数)、-ed(过去式、过去分词)、-ing(现在分词)、-en(过去分词)、-s(第三人称单数)、-er(比较级)和-est(最高级)]在中文中的借用情况。研究结果表明,在可借用性方面,系统借用的英语词素在中文报纸中的存在意义重大。根据对汉语报纸借用语素的语言特点和频率分布的分析,可以得出结论:借用的英语语气词可以很好地适应汉语。

Abstract Research-practice nexus has been an ideal for higher education. However, research mentoring has been underexplored in both formal and informal formats. This study aimed to examine the effects of one-year-long informal research mentoring conducted by an experienced EFL teacher educator for three teaching-focused EFL teachers from three different universities. It found that the informal research mentoring generated three positive effects. It fueled the mentees’ research interest, raised their awareness of self-discipline and stress-coping strategies, and kindled their enthusiasm for constructing a collegial environment in their working contexts. Meanwhile, limitations also emerged associated with the mentees’ limited research engagement and productivity owing to personal and contextual factors as well as the problems with the informal mentoring relationships. Implications of the study are drawn to improve faculty research mentoring processes and outcomes.
研究与实践相结合已成为高等教育的理想。然而,研究指导在正式和非正式形式中都没有得到充分的探索。本研究旨在探讨一位资深的英语教师教育者对来自三所不同大学的三名注重教学的英语教师进行为期一年的非正式研究性指导的效果。研究发现,非正式研究指导产生了三个积极效应。它激发了学员的研究兴趣,提高了他们对自律和压力应对策略的认识,并激发了他们在工作环境中构建学院环境的热情。与此同时,由于个人因素和环境因素以及非正式师徒关系的问题,也出现了与被徒弟有限的研究投入和生产力有关的局限性。本研究的意义在于改善教师研究指导的过程和结果。

Abstract This study investigated the knowledge domain of second language acquisition (SLA) research in 2009-2019. It selected about a decade of studies in the SLA knowledge domain and applied an available data analysis tool CiteSpace to show a picture of SLA research. The 11-year period of studies was retrieved from the Web of Science database, totally 4, 660 bibliographic records. By employing the embedded algorithm analyzing literature in CiteSpace, the present study found the factors influencing SLA and statistical models were critical aspects in L2 research, and research topics were conducted in psychological, neuroscience, linguistic, and language teaching frameworks. Additionally, research patterns in the SLA domain have become more diversified, and empirical studies of cognitive science have gradually taken a dominant position in recent years. Spikes of increased numbers of detected papers in the period of 2009-2019 showed research focus and methodology would possibly continue to be interdisciplinary in future research.

Abstract Many researchers have identified learning strategies that university students adopt to overcome difficulties in programs taught in English, among which translation is a potentially helpful one. This study explores Chinese undergraduate students’ perceptions of translation as a learning strategy when learning content in the English-medium instruction (EMI) context. Although a number of studies have investigated translation used by learners in second or foreign language acquisition, those studies were rare in the EMI context of tertiary education, particularly in China. By focusing on students’ perspectives, this study provides an insight into how translation is used to assist academic learning in EMI context and highlights its effectiveness. Data consisted of semistructured interviews with 14 volunteer Chinese undergraduates of various majors. It is found that most of the participants resorted to translation to deal with language-related problems, especially in English reading and writing activities. They usually translated utilizing various machine translators, which did not always have a fulfilling effect on students’ learning. Although the majority considered translation helpful for academic learning, it might not be the preferred solution to subject-related confusion for Chinese undergraduate students learning in the EMI context.
许多研究人员已经确定了大学生在英语教学项目中克服困难所采取的学习策略,其中翻译是一种潜在的有用策略。本研究探讨了中国大学生在英语媒介教学(EMI)环境下学习内容时,翻译作为一种学习策略的认知。虽然有一些研究调查了学习者在第二语言或外语习得中使用的翻译,但这些研究在高等教育的EMI背景下很少,特别是在中国。通过关注学生的观点,本研究提供了如何使用翻译来协助EMI背景下的学术学习的见解,并强调了其有效性。数据由14名不同专业的中国大学生志愿者的半结构化访谈组成。研究发现,大多数参与者通过翻译来解决语言相关问题,尤其是在英语阅读和写作活动中。他们通常使用各种机器翻译,这并不总是对学生的学习产生令人满意的效果。尽管大多数人认为翻译有助于学术学习,但对于在EMI环境下学习的中国本科生来说,翻译可能不是解决学科相关困惑的首选方法。

Abstract In the context of globalization, multilingual learning and teaching have become more and more popular in China. The phenomenon of cross-linguistic influence is more complex in L3 acquisition than in L2 acquisition. Does the previously learned L2 affect L3 acquisition? From the perspective of trilingual acquisition, the English and French national test proficiency scores of 112 French major students in Chinese universities were selected as the research data to explore the potential relationship between English (L2) proficiency and French (L3) learning. The research results showed a positive correlation between English and French proficiency among Chinese learners, and a predictable equation was established through regression analysis. In addition, the study reveals that a threshold level of English (L2) is essential to generate a significant correlation. The threshold level is roughly equivalent to the level of IELTS 5.5. According to the results, the analogical teaching method is advocated.
在全球化背景下,多语言学习和教学在中国越来越流行。三语习得中的跨语言影响现象比二语习得更为复杂。以前学过的第二语言会影响第三语言的习得吗?从三语习得的角度出发,选取112名中国高校法语专业学生的英语和法语国家考试水平分数作为研究数据,探讨英语(L2)水平与法语(L3)学习之间的潜在关系。研究结果显示,中国学习者的英语和法语熟练程度呈正相关,并通过回归分析建立了可预测的方程。此外,研究表明,英语(第二语言)的阈值水平对于产生显著的相关性至关重要。门槛水平大致相当于雅思5.5的水平。根据实验结果,提倡类比教学法。

Abstract English as a Foreign Language (EFL) teachers’ professional development has been attached much importance with the advent of the National English Curriculum Standards (NECS in short) for Senior High Schools as it initiates the shift from knowledge-skill-oriented education to competence-oriented education. As an effective way for teachers’ professional development, collaborative action research community is introduced in this study to provide teachers with opportunities for mutual engagement, meaning negotiation, and a shared repertoire. Four senior high school EFL teachers from four different schools were studied in a collaborative action research community to explore how teachers from diversified backgrounds achieve mutual learning for their professional development. With data collected from observation, interviews, and journals, the study reveals that diversity and partiality help maintain mutual engagement in the community of practice. Meaning negotiation and mutual accountability in a joint enterprise contribute to the coherence of the community. Moreover, the participative activity of online and offline group discussion and the common topic of thinking visualization were treated as sources of a shared repertoire, an essential indication of a harmonious community. In this case, this study extrapolates how the collaborative action research community achieves harmony to support teachers’ professional development in action research.
随着《国家高中英语课程标准》的出台,外语教师的专业发展受到越来越多的重视,它开启了从知识技能教育向能力教育的转变。作为教师专业发展的有效途径,本研究引入合作行动研究社群,为教师提供相互参与、意义协商和共享技能的机会。本研究以来自四所不同学校的四名高中英语教师为研究对象,探讨不同背景的教师如何在专业发展中实现相互学习。通过观察、访谈和期刊收集的数据,该研究揭示了多样性和偏见有助于保持实践社区的相互参与。在一个联合企业中,谈判和相互问责有助于社区的凝聚力。此外,在线和离线小组讨论的参与性活动以及思维可视化的共同主题被视为共享曲目的来源,这是和谐社区的基本标志。在此情况下,本研究推断协同行动研究社区如何实现和谐,以支持教师在行动研究中的专业发展。
