摘要
本文以二语习得中的学习策略研究为理论框架,通过开展个案分析研究,考察了学习策略在英语专业期刊论文阅读中的使用情况。
     本研究选取一名吉林大学外国语学院英语语言学专业二年级研究生为实验对象,运用有声思维,日志,面谈三种方法,对其期刊论文阅读过程中使用的学习策略,进行采集。借助O’Malley及Chamot提出的相关学习策略理论对数据加以分析。
     本研究发现:在此类阅读过程中,所用到的策略有翻译、背景知识的使用、自我提问、预测及上下文线索的运用、主题句的着重注意、提出关键词、重复以及处理负面情绪等八种学习策略。根据O’Malley及Chamot提出的分类方法,数据显示的上述八种策略可以划分为认知、元认知、情感策略这三个类别。同时,研究表明并不是所有的学习策略在期刊论文阅读中都有所体现;在其他的具体语言运用中所频繁用到的学习策略,似乎在这项活动中功效并不显著。
     从个案分析中,可以得到这样的启示:为了提高期刊论文、乃至其他学术文献的阅读效率,教师应当把更多的注意力应投放在阅读课上学习策略的训练;学生应该有意识地使用某些学习策略,努力使那些还处于“陈述性”的学习策略变成“程序性”的学习策略。
The present research makes an exploration, within the framework of learning strategies in Second Language Acquisition, of learning strategy for reading English journal paper, through a case study.
     The writer chose a second-year English linguistics postgraduate from the College of Foreign language, Jilin University, as the participant. Different procedures of data collection such as think-aloud, unstructured interview, and journal writing were adopted. The data were analyzed based on the theory of learning strategies raised by O’Malley and Chamot (2001).
     The following findings are achieved: learning strategies used in English journal paper reading mainly include the use of translation, use of background knowledge, self-questioning, use of prediction and contextual clues, paying attention to topic sentences, picking out key words, repetition and dealing with negative feelings. According to theories posed by O’Malley and Chamot (2001), these strategies can be classified into the three categories of learning strategies, namely cognitive, metacognitive and affective strategies. This result reveals that not all the learning strategies in the inventory raised by Oxford (1991) are found in use in this specific task, and those strategies frequently used in other language performance do not appear very frequently in this task. In order to raise the efficiency in this task, more attention should be paid to the appropriate training of the relevant strategies in reading class. As for the students, they should consciously use certain learning strategies in their reading, and try to make the“declarative knowledge”of each learning strategy entry“procedural knowledge”.
