摘要

对英语屈折语素习得顺序的研究表明,无论是母语学习者还是二语学习者,第三人称单数-s (3SG-s)的习得都具有挑战性,且习得晚于其连词。本研究与常规的受控引出不同,调查了越南英语学习者在完整课堂中进行口语交际任务时产生的这两种形式。尽管越南语和英语中be连词的结构有一些共同的特点,但越南语L1没有屈折标记3SG-s。这些差异促使了两种目标形式的选择。九对越南英语大学学生进行了五项交际任务的记录,这些交际任务生成了使用3SG-s的语境。在他们正常的课堂上超过三周。对性能数据进行转录和分析,以确定在强制性上下文中产生和遗漏两种目标形式的频率。在完成任务后,学生们接受了关于他们在执行任务时所关注的内容的采访。访谈记录按主题进行分析。结果表明,学习者在大多数强制性语境和所有任务中都省略了3SG-s。他们比3sg更能准确地产生连音,但准确率因学习者而异。访谈数据揭示了学习者对语言表达的准确性所做的有意识的决定。并结合不同的理论模型对研究结果进行了讨论。该研究促进了英语学习者对3SG-s和be - copula的习得的理解,并为如何在口语交际任务中管理对屈折形式的关注提供了教学意义。

Production of Third-Person Singular –s And be Copula in Communication Tasks by Vietnamese EFL Learners: Acquisition Order and Learner Orientation to Form
Research on the acquisition order of inflectional morphemes in English has shown that third-person singular –s (3SG–s) is challenging to acquire and acquired later than be copula by both L1 and L2 learners of English. In a departure from the usual practice of controlled elicitation, the current study investigated the production of these two forms by Vietnamese EFL learners in oral communication tasks performed in intact classrooms. Vietnamese L1 does not inflectionally mark 3SG–s although the construction of be copula in Vietnamese and English shares some features. These differences motivated the selection of the two target forms. Nine pairs of Vietnamese EFL university students were recorded performing five communicative tasks generated contexts for use of 3SG–s. over three weeks in their normal classes. Performance data were transcribed and analyzed for frequencies of production and omission of the two target forms in obligatory contexts. After completing the tasks, the students were interviewed about what they attended to when performing the tasks. Interview transcripts were analyzed thematically. Results show that the learners omitted 3SG–s in most obligatory contexts and across all tasks. They were better at accurately producing be copula than 3SG–s but accuracy rates varied between learners. Interview data revealed the conscious decisions learners made concerning the accuracy of their language production. The findings are discussed with reference to different theoretical models. The study advances understanding of acquisition of 3SG–s and be copula by EFL learners and offers pedagogical implications for how a focus on inflectional forms can be managed in oral communicative task performance.
