【摘要】：随着国际经济贸易发展日益频繁,商务英语在过去二十年里引起人们的广泛关注和兴趣。中国经济的飞速发展更是需要培养大量符合社会需要的商务英语人才,然而不可否认的是,学生的商务英语阅读能力却普遍较为薄弱,同时缺乏阅读兴趣。究其原因,目前商务英语阅读教学始终存在着一些问题,使得阅读教学效果不尽人意。第一,商务英语阅读教学仍以传统的语法-翻译教学法为主,这就造成学生过度关注单词,语法和句子结构,只满足于了解文章的字面意思,却不能更好地理解文章的主题思想及作者立场。第二,传统的商务英语阅读教学仍然倾向于将阅读看作是语言知识的传授,而忽略了对阅读能力和阅读兴趣的培养。评价理论是系统功能语言学理论框架下对人际意义方面研究的新发展。评价理论是关于评价的,即语篇中所协商的各种态度、所涉及到的情感的强度以及表明价值和联盟读者的各种方式。评价理论包括三个子系统:态度,介入和级差。运用评价理论指导商务英语阅读教学意义重大,它能帮助学生培养阅读的敏锐度和洞察力,以更好的理解和揭示隐藏在语言表达背后的作者意图和文章主旨。本文试图将评价理论应用到商务英语阅读教学中,通过引导学生在阅读过程中有意识地识别并分析评价资源,来培养他们的阅读能力和兴趣,进而提高整体阅读水平。作者于2016年上半年在广东白云学院进行了16周的实验教学,受试者为英语专业(国际商务)2015级两个班的80名大一学生,每班均为40人。作者随机将一个班作为实验班,采用评价理论指导下的教学方法,另一个班作为控制班,采用传统的以语法-翻译为基础的教学方法。以SPSS(19.0)为数据统计分析工具,对两个组实验前后的成绩进行比较分析发现:评价理论指导下的商务英语阅读教学方法有助于提高学生的阅读能力和兴趣。本研究中实验对象数量较少,教学材料数据有限,因此可能会限制实验结论的普遍性,希望以后的研究予以补足。
[Abstract]:With the increasing development of international economic and trade, business English has attracted wide attention and interest in the past two decades. With the rapid development of Chinese economy, it is necessary to train a large number of business English talents who meet the needs of the society. However, it is undeniable that students' reading ability of business English is generally weak and lack of interest in reading. At present, there are some problems in the teaching of business English reading, which makes the effect of reading teaching unsatisfactory. First, the teaching of business English reading is still dominated by the traditional grammar-translation approach, which results in students paying too much attention to words, grammar and sentence structure, and only content to understand the literal meaning of the article. However, it can not better understand the main ideas of the article and the author's position. Secondly, the traditional business English reading teaching still tends to regard reading as the teaching of language knowledge, while neglecting the cultivation of reading ability and interest. Evaluation theory is a new development of interpersonal meaning research in the framework of systemic functional linguistics. The theory of evaluation is about evaluation, that is, the attitudes negotiated in the discourse, the emotional intensity involved, and the ways in which values are expressed and the readers are confederated. Evaluation theory includes three subsystems: attitude, intervention and differential. It is of great significance to use evaluation theory to guide the teaching of business English reading. It can help students to cultivate their reading acumen and insight so as to better understand and reveal the author's intention and the main purpose of the article hidden behind the language expression. This paper attempts to apply the theory of evaluation to the teaching of business English reading. By instructing students to consciously identify and analyze the evaluation resources in the process of reading, this paper aims to cultivate their reading ability and interest, and then improve their overall reading level. In the first half of 2016, the author conducted 16 weeks of experimental teaching at Guangdong Baiyun University. The subjects were 80 freshmen in two classes of International Business Class 2015, each with 40 students. The author randomly takes one class as the experimental class, adopts the teaching method under the guidance of the evaluation theory and the other class as the control class, and adopts the traditional grammar translation based teaching method. Using SPSS 19.0 as a statistical analysis tool, this paper makes a comparative analysis of the results of the two groups before and after the experiment. It is found that the teaching method of business English reading under the guidance of evaluation theory is helpful to improve the students' reading ability and interest. In this study, the number of experimental objects is relatively small and the data of teaching materials are limited, so the universality of experimental conclusions may be limited, and it is hoped that future studies will complement them.
