【摘要】：源文使用是二语学习者的一项重要技能。然而,前人在此方面的研究内容相对局限,就如何提高源文使用能力所提出的建议也只是基于其对学生某一时间点的写作表现进行研究的结果,而非真正对学生能力的变化进行深入探索。基于此,本研究试图探讨中国学生英语写作中的源文使用历时变化,主要研究学生源文使用的语言特征和具体策略在一年内发生的变化。研究在山东省某重点高校进行,研究对象共计50名英语专业学生。其中28名为本科生一年级学生,22名为研究生一年级学生。数据采自学生完成一综合性读写任务后产出的作文文本、自我评价问卷及半结构化访谈。本研究从源文使用的语言特征和具体策略来全面分析学生的写作文本。研究对象在一年后再次完成了同样的写作任务及调查问卷。研究结果显示,中国二语学习者的源文使用水平在一年后有所提升,说明源文使用行为是一个发展的过程。一段时间后,学生在写作中能使用更高水平的语言及更好的源文使用策略。然而,受试本科生和研究生呈现出不同水平的变化。相较于本科生,研究生在源文使用的语言和策略方面在一年后都有更多提高,这意味着其源文使用的能力提升更大。研究发现,学生源文使用能力变化的直接原因在于其与任务和源文的互动程度,而更根本的是受其过去一年所处的学术环境的影响,即,学生所受的教育及其之前的写作经验。本研究在一定程度上弥补了当前对中国英语教学环境中的源文使用问题研究的空白,研究结果对大学英语教学也有一定的启示作用。
[Abstract]:Source language use is an important skill for second language learners.However, the previous researches in this area are relatively limited, and the suggestions on how to improve the ability of using the source text are based on the results of the research on the students' writing performance at a certain point in time.Instead of really exploring the changes of students' abilities.Based on this, the present study attempts to explore the diachronic changes in the use of source text in Chinese students' English writing, focusing on the changes in language characteristics and specific strategies taken place within one year.The study was conducted in a key university in Shandong Province, with a total of 50 English majors.Among them, 28 are first-year undergraduate students and 22 are first-year graduate students.The data were collected from composition texts, self-evaluation questionnaires and semi-structured interviews.The present study comprehensively analyzes the students' writing texts from the perspective of the language characteristics and specific strategies used in the source text.The subjects completed the same writing task and questionnaire again a year later.The results show that the level of source language use of Chinese second language learners has improved a year later, indicating that the source language use behavior is a process of development.After a period of time, students can use a higher level of language and better strategies in writing.However, the undergraduate and graduate students showed different levels of change.Compared with undergraduate students, graduate students have more improvement in language and strategy after one year, which means that their ability to use source language is better.It is found that the direct reason for the change of students' ability to use the source language is the degree of interaction with the task and the source text, and more fundamentally, it is influenced by the academic environment in which they lived in the past year, that is, the education received by the students and their previous writing experience.To a certain extent, this study has made up for the gaps in the current research on the use of source text in the Chinese English teaching environment, and the results of the study also have some implications for college English teaching.
