摘要
本研究采用问卷调查和录音访谈考察发音和重要他人在中国初中生英语自我概念形成中的作用。虽然之前已有研究将外语学习者的发音能力与他人评价和情感联系起来进行讨论,但三者之间的关系至今未有得到实验性的证明。
     问卷调查在一初中的初二七个班中展开。每个班级分两次进行。每次各班学生及英语老师通过他评问卷对5名同学进行评价。而5名受试不仅要进行自评(评价自己),还要同时评价其他4名受试。所以每班共10名受试。70名受试中优生和差生各占一半。访谈受试14名,选自同样的七个班。其中7名为发音好的,7名为发音特别差的学生。
     调查结果显示:1,英语自我概念和英语成绩高度相关;2,重要他人对英语的评价和英语自我概念及英语成绩都高度相关;3,英语发音、发音自我概念、他人对发音的评价、他人对英语的评价和英语自我概念皆紧密关联。本研究最后讨论了二语习得中的情感问题和发音教学的重要性。
This study investigated the role of English pronunciation in the formation of English self-concept of Chinese adolescent learners in relation to significant others. The relationships between pronunciation and others' perceptions and affect have been mentioned in some literature, but have not been empirically tested. The present study constitutes an attempt to examine these relationships.
    The study consists of two parts: a questionnaire research and an interview study. The questionnaire research was implemented among seven second-year classes in a junior middle school. For each class, the questionnaires were administered in two sessions, each of which required the students and the English teacher to evaluate 5 classmates with a specially designed other-evaluation scale. The 5 subjects evaluated themselves with a self-evaluation scale and at the same time evaluated the other four. The interviews were conducted with 14 students from the same classes. Seven of them were good pronouncers and the other seven were poor pronouncers.
    Statistical analyses of the questionnaire and the interview data yield the following findings: First, consistent with previous research, English self-concept is highly correlated with English achievement. Second, the inferred English self-concept (others' perceptions) is highly correlated with the English self-concept and English achievement. Third, English pronunciation, pronunciation self-concept, inferred pronunciation self-concept, inferred English self-concept and English self-concept are all closely related. These findings suggest a chain of relationships between pronunciation (self-concept), others' perceptions and English self-concept and English achievement. Implications are discussed with regard to the affective problem and pronunciation teaching and learning in SLA.
