【摘要】：近年来越来越多的年轻人选择出国留学。而雅思(IELTS)成绩则成为众多国外大学录取申请者的重要指标。写作作为国际英语测试系统(简称雅思考试)的一项,成为制约众多考生顺利申请到自己心仪学校的障碍(全球写作平均成绩为5.43,中国大陆的平均成绩仅为5.3)。因此,如何提高考生的写作非常具有现实意义。词块理论为这一问题的解决提供了一种可行性的思路。这主要是因为词块已经突破了单纯的词汇,固定搭配的范围,甚至延伸到句子和语篇的领域。虽然已经有大量关于“词块”以及“词块在提高外语水平”的理论和实证研究,但是对雅思写作而言,词块是否为一种高效的教学工具或者学习方法,尚无有效的数据来证明。需要通过实验予以论证。本文旨在探讨以下问题:(1)词块是否有助于提高雅思写作?(2)词块具体在哪些方面(逻辑连贯,词汇以及语法的准确性)有助于提高学生的雅思写作水平?(3)词块的应用是否有助于提高学生的写作自信心?为探索这些问题,笔者,作为有五年雅思写作教学经验的老师,在自己的班级里进行为期两个月的实验(两个月是大部分考生备考雅思的时间),以自己两个授.课班级60名学生为实验对象,设置实验组和控制组。在试验中,两个班级的教材和课时一样,但在实验组中,通过词块概念的输入,强化,练习等一系列练习活动,积累大量的词块,并逐步强化学生的词块概念。控制组则采用传统的授课方式,虽然控制组的学生也接触大量的词块,但是并不强化词块的概念。经过将近两个月的对比教学实验,通过对两个组在同一雅思试题中在逻辑性,用词准确度以及语法准确性的定量分析,发现实验组的学生雅思写作成绩明显高于控制组,并且在雅思作文中的逻辑性,词汇以及语法方面的成绩也高于控制组。这表明词块理论的确有助于提高学生的雅思写作能力,改善学生在雅思写作中篇章逻辑,词汇以及语法方面的问题。同时,通过对学生的访谈发现,大部分的学生对词块的学习持积极态度,普遍认为词块对他们的雅思写作有帮助。
[Abstract]:In recent years, more and more young people have chosen to study abroad, and IELTS IELTShas become an important indicator for many foreign university applicants. Writing is a part of the International English Test system (IELTS). It has become an obstacle for many candidates to apply successfully to their favorite schools (the average score for global writing is 5.43, while the average score for mainland China is only 5.3). How to improve the writing of examinees is of great practical significance. Lexical chunks provide a feasible way to solve this problem. This is mainly because lexical chunks have broken through the scope of simple words and fixed collocations. Although there have been a lot of theoretical and empirical studies on "lexical chunks" and "lexical chunks in improving foreign language proficiency", but for IELTS writing, Whether lexical chunks are an efficient teaching tool or learning method, there is no valid data to prove them. The purpose of this paper is to explore whether lexical chunks can help to improve IELTS writing. What aspects of lexical chunks (logical coherence, lexical and grammatical accuracy) contribute to the improvement of students' IELTS writing skills? Does the application of lexical chunks help students improve their self-confidence in writing? To explore these questions, the author, as a teacher with five years of IELTS writing teaching experience, A two-month experiment was conducted in his own class (two months was the time for most candidates to prepare for IELTS, and 60 students from their own two classes were selected as subjects. In the experiment, the experimental group and the control group were set up. The teaching materials of the two classes are the same as the class hours, but in the experimental group, a large number of lexical chunks are accumulated through a series of exercises such as input, reinforcement and practice of lexical chunks. And gradually strengthen the concept of lexical chunks of students. The control group adopts the traditional teaching method. Although the students in the control group also come into contact with a large number of lexical chunks, they do not reinforce the concept of lexical chunks. After nearly two months of contrastive teaching experiments, Through quantitative analysis of logic, lexical accuracy and grammatical accuracy of the two groups in the same IELTS test, it was found that the scores of IELTS writing in the experimental group were significantly higher than those in the control group, and the results were logical in IELTS composition. The lexical and grammatical scores were also higher than those of the control group, which indicated that lexical chunks theory did contribute to the improvement of students' IELTS writing ability and the problems of textual logic, vocabulary and grammar in IELTS writing. Through interviews with the students, it is found that most of the students have a positive attitude towards the study of lexical chunks, and it is generally believed that lexical chunks are helpful to their IELTS writing.
