摘要

摘要学习者日记、日记和日志已被用于各种学习环境,包括外语学习。本文探讨了如何在英语课堂上使用日记写作来鼓励学生通过所学语言表达自己的身份;这也是支持他们寻求更大自主性的一种方式,以期探索学习者自主性、学习者自我(L2自我)和学习者情绪之间的相互联系。更具体地说,它将展示反思性写作——以在线日记的形式——如何为学习者提供一个重要的工具来探索他们的思想和情绪,并反思他们作为英语学习者和用户的身份。此外,日记是教师和学者的一种定性研究工具,他们可以研究语言学习的元认知和情感方面。该论文报道了一项在大学英语课程中进行的研究,在该研究中,鼓励学生在整个学期内保持反思性的在线日记。对他们个人和表达性写作的分析揭示了他们需要以自己的身份说话,而不仅仅是作为语言学习者,并探索他们的积极和消极情绪。最后一份问卷显示,学生们普遍对这项活动持积极态度,强调了它在学习者自主性、自我意识和自我调节方面的有用性。

The importance of the self: using online diaries in the EFL classroom
Abstract Learner journals, diaries, and logs have been used in a variety of learning contexts, including foreign language learning. This paper investigates how diary writing can be used in the EFL classroom to encourage students to express their identities through the language they are learning; it is also a way of supporting them in their quest for greater autonomy, with a view to exploring the interconnections between learner autonomy, learner self (L2 self), and learner emotions. More specifically, it will be shown how reflective writing – in the form of online diaries – can offer learners an important tool to explore their thoughts and emotions and reflect on their identity as learners and users of English. Moreover, diaries are a qualitative research tool for teachers and scholars, who can examine metacognitive and affective aspects of language learning. The paper reports a study conducted within a university English Language course, in which the students were encouraged to keep a reflective online diary throughout a semester. The analysis of their personal and expressive writing has shed light on their need to speak as themselves, not just as language learners, and to explore their emotions, both positive and negative. A final questionnaire has revealed that the students were generally positive about the activity, highlighting its usefulness in terms of learner autonomy, self-awareness, and self-regulation.
