Abstract Set at the interface between second language acquisition and second language writing, this study examines how different types of written corrective feedback (WCF) influence the writing accuracy of Chinese college students learning English as a Foreign Language (EFL) and whether WCF facilitates the students’ grasp of the focused linguistic knowledge. The participants (n = 60) were divided into direct correction group (n = 20), indirect error-coding group (n = 20) and metalinguistic explanation group (n = 20). The three groups wrote four essays in two months and received WCF for the first three essays on the five targeted error types, namely tense errors, confusion of different forms of a word, word (articles, prepositions, etc.) missing, errors in subject-verb agreement and inappropriate verb-noun collocations. The results show that all three types of WCF improved students’ writing accuracy but none of them had any statistical advantage, and the metalinguistic WCF was more effective than the other two forms in facilitating the acquisition of the targeted linguistic features. These results shed some light on teaching and consolidation of language points through writing in EFL contexts.
摘要本研究以第二语言习得和第二语言写作之间的界面为背景,考察了不同类型的书面纠正反馈(WCF)如何影响中国大学生学习英语的写作准确性,以及WCF是否有助于学生掌握重点语言知识。参与者(n=60)被分为直接纠正组(n=20)、间接错误编码组(n=2 0)和元语言解释组(n=3 0)。三组在两个月内写了四篇文章,并在前三篇文章中获得了关于五种有针对性的错误类型的WCF,即时态错误、不同形式的单词混淆、单词(冠词、介词等)缺失、主谓一致错误和不恰当的动名词搭配。结果表明,三种类型的WCF都提高了学生的写作准确性,但都没有任何统计优势,并且元语言WCF在促进目标语言特征的获取方面比其他两种形式更有效。这些结果为在EFL语境中通过写作进行语言点的教学和巩固提供了一些启示。

Abstract With the development of world globalization, English works as a lingua franca for intercultural communication among different cultures in the world. This shift implies that introducing solely English native speaking cultures to students is not sufficient for their needs. This paper depicts the reflective teaching process of my ten years of experience of teaching intercultural communication. The paper describes how the teacher systematically reflects on the practice of teaching, continuously revises the curriculum, and finally formulates an efficient model of integrating students’ personal experiences into developing students’ intercultural communicative competence and awareness. This reflective study attempts to provide some pedagogical implications for intercultural communication education.
随着世界全球化的发展,英语作为一种通用语在世界不同文化间进行跨文化交流。这种转变意味着,仅仅向学生介绍英语母语文化是不足以满足他们的需求的。本文描述了我十年跨文化交际教学经验的反思性教学过程。本文描述了教师如何系统地反思教学实践,不断修改课程,最终制定出一种将学生的个人经历融入学生跨文化交际能力和意识培养的有效模式。这一反思性研究试图为跨文化交际教育提供一些教学启示。

Abstract This quantitative-oriented study investigates junior middle school EFL teachers’ beliefs about motivational practices in the language teaching process. Grounded in self-determination theory, the study examined teachers’ beliefs in three basic psychological needs (relatedness, competence and autonomy) and the effect of their teaching experience on these beliefs. Data were obtained from 84 Chinese junior middle school English teachers through a questionnaire. Results suggested that teachers recognized motivational practices for relatedness and competence satisfaction while showing relatively low recognition of a few motivating practices for autonomy satisfaction. Teaching experience was found to have no influence on teachers’ conception of needs-related motivational practices. Findings reveal that traditional activities like collective lesson preparations may have a negative influence on teachers’ beliefs about motivational practices. They also present the necessity for adjustments on educational regulations, and for modern professional training to help teachers understand students’ basic psychological needs, and to encourage new ideas to bolster students’ intrinsic motivation for language learning.
摘要本研究以数量为导向,调查初中英语教师在语言教学过程中对动机实践的信念。本研究以自决理论为基础,考察了教师对三种基本心理需求(关联性、能力和自主性)的信念,以及他们的教学经验对这些信念的影响。采用问卷调查法对84名中国初中英语教师进行了调查。结果表明,教师对关联性和能力满意度的动机实践认可度较低,而对自主满意度的少数动机实践认可程度相对较低。教学经验对教师需求相关动机实践的概念没有影响。研究结果表明,集体备课等传统活动可能会对教师的动机实践信念产生负面影响。他们还提出了调整教育法规和现代专业培训的必要性,以帮助教师了解学生的基本心理需求,并鼓励新的想法来增强学生学习语言的内在动机。

Abstract Teachers’ beliefs toward multilingual awareness in target language learning play a significant role in shaping learners’ attitudes to language awareness, affect learners’ linguistic behavior and teachers’ teaching practice. Therefore, the present study was aimed to explore English teachers’ beliefs about Inner Mongolian university students’ multilingual awareness in L3 learning and their teaching practice in Chinese EFL context. One hundred English teachers from six universities in Inner Mongolia, China, participated in this investigation. The data was collected through a questionnaire and teacher interviews. The results indicate that English teachers hold positive attitudes to multilingual awareness in general; however, there are belief differences between Mongolian and Han teachers; there exist discrepancies between English teachers’ beliefs about multilingual awareness and their teaching practice, and social-cultural environment, family language policy, teacher identity, learning experience, teaching materials, and, more importantly, teachers’ lack of awareness of fostering learners’ multilingual awareness lead to the discrepancies. The present research highlights the necessity of raising teacher awareness of cultivating multilingual awareness in future teacher development and emphasizes the significance of exploring the potential cognitive advantages of multilingualism in promoting L3 learning and developing English learners’ multilingual competence in the EFL context in China.
摘要教师在目标语言学习中对多语言意识的信念对塑造学习者对语言意识的态度、影响学习者的语言行为和教师的教学实践起着重要作用。因此,本研究旨在探讨英语教师对内蒙古大学生在三级学习中的多语言意识的看法,以及他们在中国英语教学中的实践。来自中国内蒙古六所大学的一百名英语教师参与了这项调查。数据是通过问卷调查和教师访谈收集的。研究结果表明,英语教师普遍对多语言意识持积极态度;然而,蒙汉教师之间存在着信仰差异;英语教师对多语言意识的信念与教学实践存在差异,与社会文化环境、家庭语言政策、教师身份、学习经历、教材等因素存在差异,更重要的是教师缺乏培养学习者多语言意识意识的意识。本研究强调了在未来教师发展中提高教师培养多语言意识的必要性,并强调了在中国的EFL背景下,探索多语言在促进L3学习和培养英语学习者多语言能力方面的潜在认知优势的意义。

Abstract This paper presents a systematic review of research on Chinese as a Second Language (CSL) education for ethnic minority students in Hong Kong SAR. Using three databases and screening with specific inclusion and exclusion criteria, the study selected 38 empirical studies published in English-language peer-reviewed journals. We find that there has been a surge of publications in Hong Kong in the past decade (2010–2020), and they are mostly authored by scholars from three universities in Hong Kong. Most of the research took a phenomenological approach, using interviews as the main data collection method and focusing on underprivileged South Asian students in secondary schools. The thematic analysis showed that Hong Kong’s CSL adopted a poststructuralist paradigm for understanding and revealing social inequalities surrounding Chinese language education for ethnic minority students. The study concludes that Hong Kong must decolonise its education system to genuinely support ethnic minority students to achieve educational equality and social justice.
摘要本文系统回顾了香港特别行政区少数民族学生汉语教育的相关研究。采用3个数据库,采用特定的纳入和排除标准筛选,选择了38篇发表在英文同行评审期刊上的实证研究。我们发现,在过去十年(2010-2020年),香港的出版物数量激增,这些出版物大多由香港三所大学的学者撰写。大多数研究采用现象学方法,以访谈为主要数据收集方法,重点关注贫困的南亚中学生。主题分析表明,香港的中文教学采用了后结构主义范式来理解和揭示少数民族学生中文教育的社会不平等。研究的结论是,香港的教育制度必须非殖民化,以真正支持少数族裔学生,实现教育平等和社会公正。

Abstract This study investigates how orthographic, semantic and contextual variables—including word length, concreteness, and contextual support—impact on the processing and learning of new words in a second language (L2) when first encountered during reading. Students learning English as a foreign language (EFL) were recruited to read sentences for comprehension, embedded with unfamiliar L2 words that occurred once. Immediately after this, they received a form recognition test, a meaning recall test, and a meaning recognition test. Eye-movement data showed significant effects of word length on both early and late processing of novel words, along with effects of concreteness only on late-processing eye-tracking measures. Informative contexts were read slower than neutral contexts, yet contextual support did not show any direct influence on the processing of novel words. Interestingly, initial learning of abstract words was better than concrete words in terms of form and meaning recognition. Attentional processing of novel L2 words, operationalized by total reading time, positively predicted L2 learners’ recognition of new orthographic forms. Taken together, these results suggest: 1) orthographic, semantic and contextual factors play distinct roles for initial processing and learning of novel words; 2) online processing of novel words contributes to L2 learners’ initial knowledge of unfamiliar lexical items acquired from reading.
摘要本研究调查了拼写、语义和上下文变量——包括单词长度、具体性和上下文支持——如何影响第二语言(L2)中第一次在阅读中遇到的新词的处理和学习。学习英语作为外语(EFL)的学生被招募来阅读句子以进行理解,其中嵌入了曾经出现过的不熟悉的第二语言单词。紧接着,他们接受了形式识别测试、意义回忆测试和意义识别测试。眼动数据显示,单词长度对小说单词的早期和后期处理都有显著影响,而具体性只对后期处理的眼动测量有影响。信息性语境的阅读速度慢于中性语境,但语境支持对小说词的处理没有任何直接影响。有趣的是,在形式和意义识别方面,抽象单词的初始学习要好于具体单词。通过总阅读时间来操作新的二语单词的注意处理,可以积极预测二语学习者对新的拼写形式的识别。总之,这些结果表明:1)正字法、语义和语境因素对小说词的初始加工和学习起着不同的作用;2) 小说单词的在线处理有助于二语学习者对阅读中获得的不熟悉词汇的初步了解。

Abstract Embodiment theories proposed that the comprehension of language involves sensory-motor simulation in the brain. The present study examined the brain response to motor compatibility effect in comprehending action-related linguistic materials for participants learning Chinese as a second language (L2). In this study, participants are required to read action-related sentences describing an agent performing two manual actions simultaneously or sequentially by manipulating temporal conjunctions. The sentences with simultaneous actions are marked by Chinese parallel structure 一边……一边…… (“while”) showing non-congruent motor condition while the sequential action sentences are marked by 先……然后…… (“after”) showing congruent motor condition. Event-Related Potentials (ERPs) were recorded with the second verb phrase. A larger fronto-central late positivity was observed for the sentences with simultaneous actions rather than the sentences with sequential actions due to body constraints, revealing that late L2 Chinese learners integrate embodied knowledge while processing action-related complex sentence despite demanding more cognitive resources, and longer processing time.
体现理论认为语言理解涉及大脑的感觉-运动模拟。本研究考察了汉语作为第二语言学习参与者在理解与动作相关的语言材料时,大脑对运动相容性效应的反应。在这项研究中,参与者被要求阅读与动作相关的句子,这些句子描述了一个代理通过操纵时间连词同时或依次执行两个手动动作。同时动作的句子用汉语平行结构一一一一......一一一一......(“而”)表示不一致的动作条件,顺序动作的句子用一一......一一......(“后”)表示一致的动作条件。用第二个动词短语记录事件相关电位(erp)。同时动作句的前中央后期正性高于顺序动作句,这表明中国第二语言学习者在加工动作相关复杂句时,尽管需要更多的认知资源和较长的加工时间,但仍整合了具身知识。

Abstract This paper reports on part of the findings of a large-scale study exploring the viewpoints of Chinese ELT stakeholders (students, teachers and administrators) on native speakerism in order to find out whether current EFL education in China is still affected by this chauvinistic ideology. The analysis of data via a critical lens reveals that the vast majority of the participants conferred upon NS products (teacher, language, culture and teaching methodology) a status superior to that granted to the NNS counterparts and failed to see linguacultural and epistemological inequalities between the English speaking West and traditional NNS countries, inter alia, China. These findings suggest that the three participant groups as an entirety succumb to native speakerism, and by extension that ELT in China is still haunted to a great degree by this ideology. Given that this study treats each participant group separately, future studies are expected to explore inter-group interactions in ideology.
摘要本文报告了一项大型研究的部分结果,该研究探讨了中国英语教学利益相关者(学生、教师和管理者)对母语主义的看法,以了解当前中国的英语教育是否仍然受到这种沙文主义思想的影响。通过批判性视角对数据进行的分析显示,绝大多数参与者认为网络教学产品(教师、语言、文化和教学方法)的地位高于网络教学产品,并且没有看到西方英语国家与传统网络教学国家(特别是中国)之间的语言和认识论不平等。这些发现表明,作为一个整体,这三个参与者群体屈服于母语主义,由此延伸,中国的英语教学在很大程度上仍然受到这种意识形态的困扰。鉴于本研究将每个参与者群体分开对待,未来的研究有望探索群体间在意识形态方面的互动。

Given that this study treats each participant group separately, future studies are expected to explore inter-group interactions in ideology.","PeriodicalId":43185,"journal":{"name":"Chinese Journal of Applied Linguistics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2022-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42027474","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Abstract In the area of computer-assisted language learning (CALL), although a number of studies have adopted various CALL-based devices (e. g., blogs, gaming, and synthetic environments) to foster second language (L2) acquisition, the vital component of instruction has received little attention. The present study explored the usefulness of CALL-based communication in conjunction with instruction on EFL learners’ L2 pragmatic development. Sixty-two EFL students from a university in China were recruited for the current research. The experimental group communicated with a native English speaker through synchronous messaging via Skype and had two instructional sessions pertinent to compliment responses, while the control group interacted with a native English speaker via Skype without having the teaching intervention. Findings from an independent samples t-test demonstrated that the experimental group produced significantly more proper compliment responses in the immediate posttest than the control group (p < . 001). Moreover, a significant difference (p < . 001) was found for the experimental group between the pre-intervention and delayed post-intervention mean scores, suggesting that CALL coupled with teaching intervention had a long-term impact on learners’ L2 pragmatic development. These findings enrich our understanding of the beneficial and lasting influence of combining CALL with instruction on EFL students’ pragmatic development. In addition, pedagogical implications for deploying CALL paired with L2 pragmatics instruction are provided.
摘要在计算机辅助语言学习领域,尽管许多研究采用了各种基于计算机辅助语言的设备(如博客、游戏和合成环境)来促进第二语言的习得,但教学的重要组成部分却很少受到关注。本研究探讨了基于CALL的交际与教学对英语学习者二语语用发展的作用。本研究招募了来自中国某大学的62名英语专业学生。实验组通过Skype通过同步消息与英语母语者进行交流,并进行了两次与赞美反应相关的教学会议,而对照组则在没有教学干预的情况下通过Skype与英语母语人士进行互动。独立样本t检验的结果表明,实验组在即时后测中产生的赞美反应明显高于对照组(p<.001)。此外,实验组干预前和干预后延迟的平均得分之间存在显著差异(p<.001),表明CALL与教学干预相结合对学习者的二语语用发展有长期影响。这些发现丰富了我们对CALL与教学相结合对EFL学生语用发展的有益和持久影响的理解。此外,还提供了使用CALL与二语语用学教学相结合的教学启示。
