This paper aims to report on the results of a study on the use of socio-cultural writing strategies as well as its correlation with second language proficiency of a group of Chinese tertiary English majors. To this end, 306 English major students were randomly invited for participating in a questionnaire survey, and 12 of them were purposively sampled for a semi-structured interview. The collected quantitative data were subjected to descriptive analysis as well as Pearson Correlation test. The quantitative results show that the respondents orchestrated a wide range of utilizing socio-cultural writing strategies, of which they had a high level of using role-mediated strategies, followed by a medium-to-high level in deploying sign-mediated strategies, rule-mediated strategies, tool-mediated strategies, and community-mediated strategies respectively. Pearson Correlation test reveals a significantly negative correlation between a dimension of community-mediated strategies (peer interaction) and the surveyed population’s NMET (National Matriculation English Test) scores, and a significantly positive correlation between a dimensional (task requirement) and overall rule-mediated strategies and the participant’s TEM-4 (Test for English Major Band 4) results. These results were further reflected in the qualitative data. The findings of this study shall shed light on teaching English writing to English majors in the Chinese English as a foreign language (EFL) context and others.
本文旨在报告一组中国大学英语专业大学生社会文化写作策略的使用及其与第二语言能力的相关性的研究结果。为此,我们随机抽取306名英语专业学生进行问卷调查,其中有意抽取12名学生进行半结构化访谈。对收集到的定量资料进行描述性分析和Pearson相关检验。定量结果表明,被调查者对社会文化写作策略的运用范围广泛,其中角色中介策略的运用水平较高,其次是符号中介策略、规则中介策略、工具中介策略和社区中介策略的运用水平中高。Pearson相关检验显示,社区中介策略维度(同伴互动)与被调查人群的NMET成绩呈显著负相关,任务要求维度和总体规则中介策略维度与被调查人群的英语专业四级考试成绩呈显著正相关。这些结果进一步反映在定性数据中。本研究的结果对中国英语教学及其他环境下的英语专业英语写作教学具有一定的启示意义。

This article argues that the skillful integration of reading strategy instruction with phonics instruction is highly useful for the enhancement of foreign language reading comprehension. There is a vast amount of evidence which clearly suggests that reading strategy instruction improves learners’ ability to understand foreign language texts. However, some researchers have argued that foreign language learners need a critical amount of lexical and grammatical knowledge to make use of reading strategy instruction; in other words, lower proficiency readers are unable to profit from reading strategy instruction. Yet, a detailed analysis of relevant published and unpublished research indicates that while more proficient readers are able to take full advantage of reading strategy instruction on its own, less skilled readers require an integrated phonics component in order to fully benefit from reading strategy instruction. This conclusion is in line with our current understanding of the complex process of reading which suggests that reading proficiency is the product of linguistic knowledge and strategic behaviour.
本文认为,巧妙地将阅读策略教学与语音教学相结合,对提高外语阅读理解能力是非常有益的。大量的证据清楚地表明,阅读策略指导可以提高学习者理解外语文本的能力。然而,一些研究人员认为,外语学习者需要一定数量的词汇和语法知识才能利用阅读策略指导;换句话说,低水平的读者无法从阅读策略指导中获益。然而,对相关已发表和未发表的研究的详细分析表明,虽然熟练的读者能够充分利用阅读策略指导,但不熟练的读者需要综合的语音成分才能充分受益于阅读策略指导。这一结论与我们目前对阅读复杂过程的理解是一致的,即阅读能力是语言知识和策略行为的产物。

This article argues for the adoption of a hybrid product-process approach to EFL writing instruction. It lays bare the weaknesses of the well-established writing approaches: the controlled approach, the current traditional rhetoric, the process approach and the genre approach. Then, it makes it clear how language teaching methods in general have lost their credibility and fallen out of favor over the last few years. Reasons of this discreditation are presented. This condition paved the way for the emergence of eclecticism, which started taking shape as a favorable classroom practice in the post method era. Within this framework, this paper suggests an eclectic approach to the teaching of writing. This approach pulls together and merges the strengths of both product and process approaches. The nine stages of this model are explained in depth. The article also presents practical tips and examples that would aid teachers in the adoption of this eclectic mix in their classrooms.
本文主张在英语写作教学中采用产品-过程混合教学法。它揭示了现有的写作方法的弱点:控制方法,当前的传统修辞学,过程方法和体裁方法。然后,它清楚地表明,在过去的几年里,语言教学方法总体上是如何失去了可信度和失宠的。提出了这种不信任的原因。这种情况为折衷主义的出现铺平了道路,折衷主义在后方法时代开始形成一种有利的课堂实践。在此框架下,本文提出了一种兼收并蓄的写作教学方法。这种方法将产品方法和过程方法的优点结合在一起。对该模型的九个阶段进行了深入的说明。文章还提出了实用的技巧和例子,以帮助教师在课堂上采用这种折衷的组合。

This study evaluates the relationship between the inherent tense and aspect systems among Moroccan EFL learners. The study was conducted through a mixed-methods approach focusing mainly on statistically significant findings. Data was collected using a self-governed grammaticality judgment test, translation, and writing tasks. Two hundred and twenty subjects were arbitrarily selected to participate in the study, mainly from the Rabat-Salé region given the high diversity of the latter. The statistical analysis highlighted second language learning in the case of Moroccan EFL learners. The study deduced that there is an impact on the learning process related to the student’s academic level. The results revealed that the higher the level of education attained, the more learning is exhibited, highlighting the crucial role of the academic level in the acquisitional process. The paper also highlights the role of the developmental path among Moroccan EFL learners. The findings reiterated the gradual learning claims in temporal system research, indicating that tense and aspect are learned simultaneously.

A lect-inclusive perspective on transfer 对转移的包容性视角
IF 3.6 Pub Date : 2022-07-31 DOI: 10.54475/jlt.2022.008
Nathaniel Lotze
Contrastive analysis normally focuses on negative transfer and the rather fraught notion of standard language and tends to fall short in its ability to explain transfer, whether negative or positive. The language that learners actually speak is another source of transfer, and to downplay or ignore nonstandard varieties, or lects, is to leave out a crucial variable in the language learning process. This paper calls for a lect-inclusive perspective on transfer: one that recognizes transfer as a function of more variables than contrastive analysis of two standard languages is likely to turn up. The upshot is that there is more room for positive transfer via positive processing instruction when lect is accounted for. This perspective is exemplified by a critique of Smith’s (2001) contrastive analysis of English and Modern Standard Arabic. In the case of Arabic speakers, Arabic lects and/or a non-Arabic L1 or L2 can facilitate language learning. Lect inclusivity complements contrastive analysis of standard language, enabling teachers to draw upon their students’ L1 to support language learning and open up underutilized or unrecognized avenues for positive transfer in the areas covered by Smith (viz., phonology, orthography and pronunciation, grammar, vocabulary, and culture).
对比分析通常关注的是负迁移和标准语言这一令人担忧的概念,往往不足以解释迁移,无论是消极的还是积极的。学习者实际使用的语言是迁移的另一个来源,轻视或忽视非标准变体或选择,就是在语言学习过程中遗漏了一个关键变量。本文呼吁对迁移采取一种包括语言在内的观点:一种认识到迁移是更多变量的函数,而不是对两种标准语言进行对比分析的观点可能会出现。结果是,当考虑到选择时,通过正处理指令有更大的正迁移空间。史密斯(2001)对英语和现代标准阿拉伯语的对比分析的批评说明了这一观点。对于说阿拉伯语的人来说,阿拉伯语课和/或非阿拉伯语的第一语言或第二语言可以促进语言学习。选择性包容性补充了标准语言的对比分析,使教师能够利用学生的母语来支持语言学习,并在史密斯所涵盖的领域(即音韵学,正字法和发音,语法,词汇和文化)中开辟未被充分利用或未被认识的积极迁移途径。

With the rapid development of globalization, foreign language learners are supposed to have the ability to use the language in intercultural communication accurately and appropriately. However, guided by the traditional teacher-centered language teaching and learning model, learners cannot meet the requirements of social development because the knowledge that students acquire is rather limited, let alone learning and applying abilities. Meanwhile, their interest in learning a foreign language cannot be fully stimulated. RICH, a creative curriculum concept, combines Research-based Learning, Integrated Curriculum, Cooperative Learning, and Humanistic Outcomes. The new curriculum concept aims to lead students to enter the language classroom as thinkers and researchers, developing their humanistic qualities and their abilities to use the English language in practice through interdisciplinary studies so as to promote their intercultural communicative ability eventually. To test the applicability of RICH in senior high English school instruction, qualitative and quantitative research methods were employed, including one academic year’s teaching experiment lasting from 2020 through 2021, video recordings of instructing cases, and semi-open interviews with some subjects. Research data has demonstrated that RICH can be of great help in creatively designing and implementing key competence cultivation-oriented English instructions in the context of the New Curriculum Standards for senior high school English instruction.
随着全球化的快速发展,外语学习者被要求具备在跨文化交际中准确、恰当地使用语言的能力。然而,在传统的以教师为中心的语言教学模式的指导下,学生获得的知识相当有限,更谈不上学习和应用能力,已经不能满足社会发展的要求。同时,他们学习外语的兴趣也得不到充分的激发。RICH是一种创新的课程理念,将研究性学习、综合课程、合作学习和人文成果相结合。新课程理念旨在引导学生以思考者和研究者的身份进入语言课堂,通过跨学科的学习,培养学生的人文素养和实践运用英语的能力,最终提高学生的跨文化交际能力。为了检验RICH在高中英语教学中的适用性,采用了定性和定量的研究方法,包括从2020年到2021年一学年的教学实验、教学案例的视频记录和部分被试的半公开访谈。研究数据表明,在新课程标准的背景下,RICH对创造性地设计和实施以关键能力培养为导向的英语教学有很大的帮助。

The development of technology has prompted the translation from an “empirical” practice to gradually show its “technical” feature. Translation technology has been one of the necessary competences for professional translators and has been incorporated into current translation education. As the basis of college teaching and curriculum construction, the quality of textbooks directly affects students’ learning efficiency and ability acquisition. This paper selects fourteen translation technology textbooks and analyzes their compilation under the guidance of the Translator’s Technological Competence (TTC). It finds three problems: illogical compelling principle, unbalanced contents of practice and theory, and lack of learning resources. Then, this paper proposes solutions to those problems respectively. This study provides references for teachers to choose the appropriate teaching materials and helps to improve future textbook compilation to achieve better teaching results.
技术的发展促使翻译从“经验性”的实践逐渐表现出“技术性”的特征。翻译技术已经成为专业翻译人员必备的技能之一,并被纳入当今的翻译教育中。教材作为高校教学和课程建设的基础,其质量直接影响学生的学习效率和能力的习得。本文选取了14本翻译技术教科书,并在译者技术能力理论的指导下对其编撰进行了分析。发现了三个问题:强迫原则不合理、理论与实践内容不平衡、学习资源缺乏。然后分别针对这些问题提出了相应的解决方案。本研究为教师选择合适的教材提供了参考,也有助于今后改进教材的编写,以达到更好的教学效果。

Cognitive linguistics can inspire language pedagogy. As one of the core conceptions of cognitive linguistics, image schema theory can be integrated into foreign/second language teaching to facilitate learners’ acquisition of word meanings, especially those polysemous words which have long been difficult points for both learners and instructors. This research conducts a thorough review of the image schema theory and polysemy in cognitive linguistics and discusses the feasibility, and potential benefits of the teaching method based on image schema theory. Also, this research synthesizes the previous empirical studies about the effects of image schema theory on the acquisition of polysemy. It is found that the effectiveness of image-schema-based instruction has been generally recognized; however, the inconsistencies in the previous studies necessitate further exploration. Also, future studies can pay more attention to the effects of image schema theory on the acquisition of polysemous verbs.
认知语言学可以启发语言教育学。意象图式理论作为认知语言学的核心概念之一,可以融入到外语教学中,促进学习者对词义的习得,尤其是对那些长期以来困扰学习者和教师的多义词的习得。本研究对认知语言学中的意象图式理论和一词多义进行了全面的回顾,并探讨了基于意象图式理论的教学方法的可行性和潜在效益。此外,本研究还综合了以往关于意象图式理论对一词多义习得影响的实证研究。研究发现,基于意象图式的教学效果已得到普遍认可;然而,以往研究的不一致性需要进一步探索。此外,未来的研究可以更多地关注意象图式理论对多义词动词习得的影响。

As one of the core conceptions of cognitive linguistics, image schema theory can be integrated into foreign/second language teaching to facilitate learners’ acquisition of word meanings, especially those polysemous words which have long been difficult points for both learners and instructors. This research conducts a thorough review of the image schema theory and polysemy in cognitive linguistics and discusses the feasibility, and potential benefits of the teaching method based on image schema theory. Also, this research synthesizes the previous empirical studies about the effects of image schema theory on the acquisition of polysemy. It is found that the effectiveness of image-schema-based instruction has been generally recognized; however, the inconsistencies in the previous studies necessitate further exploration. Also, future studies can pay more attention to the effects of image schema theory on the acquisition of polysemous verbs.","PeriodicalId":53931,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Language Teaching and Learning","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2022-04-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89926956","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

L2 reading, as a dominant source of language input, is an essential skill contributing to language learners’ academic success across various educational contexts. The process of teaching that strategy is reading strategy instruction (RSI). A considerable amount of literature has provided important information on the effect of RSI on improving L2 reading. This article briefly reviews the effect of reading strategy instruction on L2 reading comprehension from the perspective of the types and amount of RSI, L2 proficiency, and age.
第二语言阅读作为语言输入的主要来源,是一项有助于语言学习者在各种教育环境中取得学业成功的基本技能。这种策略的教学过程就是阅读策略教学(RSI)。大量的文献已经提供了关于重复性劳动对提高二语阅读的影响的重要信息。本文从RSI的类型和数量、二语熟练程度和年龄三个方面简要回顾了阅读策略教学对二语阅读理解的影响。
