【摘要】：学习焦虑是情感因素中一个很重要的变量,对外语学习有很大的影响。写作是英语输出的重要技能之一,但也是令众多老师和学生倍感头疼的一项技能,应该引起研究者足够关注。可是,现有研究大多集中在英语学习焦虑对于英语口语和听力等方面的研究,相比较而言,对于英语写作这一领域的研究比较缺乏,而且研究者大多将目光集中于大学生,初中生的英语写作焦虑研究相对比较少。然而,初中是学生开始正式接触英语写作的时期,其学习焦虑与英语写作呈负相关的关系。一般来说,英语写作焦虑源主要有六种焦虑源,即情感焦虑,回避行为,知识准备焦虑,构思焦虑,课堂焦虑,自信状态等。本文主要从课堂焦虑来研究其对于英语课堂写作的影响以及应采取的对策。主要研究问题是:1、初中生英语课堂学习是否存在焦虑?如存在,其焦虑体现在哪些方面?2、初中生英语课堂学习焦虑对英语课堂写作有怎样的影响?3、造成初中生英语写作课堂焦虑的原因是什么?如何有效降低英语课堂写作焦虑?本次研究采用定量和定性相结合的方法,以江苏省江阴市长寿中学87名初二学生为研究对象,对英语课堂焦虑情况、产生的原因、课堂英语写作现状进行了调查。所有数据来自于写作焦虑考虑量表、第二语言课堂焦虑量表以及结合对学生的访谈。数据使用社会科学统计软件包SPSS17.0进行了处理。结果表明,初中生英语课堂写作焦虑水平较高,多数学生存在课堂学习焦虑和写作焦虑。另外,多数学生存在较低英语水平与较高英语写作意愿不匹配现象,所以对英语写作有较高焦虑。也有少部分学生过于自信,因而焦虑水平过低,这两种情况都不利于英语课堂写作。教师的负面反馈,写作技能的缺乏,陌生的话题都是影响学生写作的重要因素。基于上述研究结果,本文就如何降低英语写作焦虑提出了建议:采用多样化的反馈和评估,提供丰富的可理解性的材料输入和恰当的写作技巧操练,培养学生的自信和自尊,转变教师的写作教学理念和方法。这些方法都有利于降低英语课堂写作焦虑。本研究尚存在局限:1.本研究的样本相对较少,仅限于八年级学生,但是在其他年级是否存在严重的英语课堂写作焦虑并不确定。2.本研究聚焦于课堂焦虑这一个焦虑源,对于英语课堂写作的其他焦虑源关注不够。
[Abstract]:Learning anxiety is a very important variable in affective factors and has a great influence on foreign language learning. Writing is one of the most important skills in English output, but it is also a skill that makes many teachers and students feel a lot of headaches. Researchers should pay enough attention to it. However, most of the existing studies focus on the study of English learning anxiety, such as oral English and listening. In contrast, there is a lack of research in the field of English writing. Moreover, most of the researchers focus on college students. There are relatively few studies on English writing anxiety among junior high school students. However, junior high school is the period when students begin to contact English writing. Generally speaking, there are six kinds of anxiety sources in English writing: emotional anxiety, avoidance behavior, knowledge preparation anxiety, conception anxiety and classroom anxiety. This paper mainly studies the influence of classroom anxiety on English classroom writing and the countermeasures it should take. The main research question is: 1. Is there any anxiety in junior middle school students' English classroom learning? If so, in what ways are their anxieties reflected? 2. How does English classroom anxiety affect English classroom writing? 3. What are the causes of English writing anxiety among junior high school students? How to reduce writing anxiety effectively? Using quantitative and qualitative methods, 87 junior high school students in Jiangyin City, Jiangsu Province, were selected as the subjects of this study. The causes of anxiety in English classroom were analyzed. The present situation of classroom English writing was investigated. All the data were collected from the Writing anxiety scale, the second language classroom anxiety scale and the interviews with the students. The data were processed using the social science statistical software package SPSS17.0. The English writing anxiety level of junior high school students is higher, and most students have classroom learning anxiety and writing anxiety. In addition, most students do not match the lower English level and the higher English writing willingness. Therefore, there is high anxiety about English writing. There are also a small number of students who are overconfident and therefore have a low level of anxiety, both of which are not conducive to English classroom writing. Teachers' negative feedback and lack of writing skills. Unfamiliar topics are important factors affecting students' writing. Based on the above findings, this paper puts forward some suggestions on how to reduce English writing anxiety: adopting diversified feedback and assessment. Providing a wealth of comprehensible material input and proper writing skills to develop students' self-confidence and self-esteem, These methods are helpful to reduce English classroom writing anxiety. The present study is limited to 1: 1.The sample of this study is relatively small, which is limited to the eighth grade students. However, it is not certain whether there is serious English classroom writing anxiety in other grades. 2. This study focuses on classroom anxiety as a source of anxiety, and does not pay enough attention to other sources of anxiety in English classroom writing.
