大学英语专业三年级学生英语学习焦虑研究

论文摘要

二十世纪六十年代以来,随着人文主义心理学在第二语言习得中的运用,广大研究者和语言教师对影响学生语言学习的情感因素表现出了极大的兴趣,而焦虑作为其中一个重要成分,已经引起了国内外广大学者们的广泛关注。本文在回顾了外语焦虑相关研究的基础上,探讨我国大学英语专业三年级学生的英语学习焦虑问题。根据Horwitz(1986)提出的外语课堂焦虑量表(FLCAS)的理论模式,本文试图旨在调查:(1)目前高校英语专业三年级学生的英语学习焦虑状况;(2)英语课堂焦虑中交际畏惧、考试焦虑和负评价恐惧的分布情况;(3)英语学习焦虑与学生英语成绩之间的关系;(4)男、女英语专业学生在英语学习焦虑上是否存在显著性差异。研究的目的在于客观而全面地认识外语焦虑的本质及其对高校英语专业学生英语学习的影响,以便更好地帮助语言教师和学生寻找到缓解英语学习焦虑的途径。本研究采用定量研究和定性研究相结合的方式,对江西师范大学04级的150名英语专业学生进行调查。定量研究以问卷为主,包括学习者个人背景情况调查表和Horwitz(1986)设计的外语课堂焦虑量表。所有数据使用社会学统计软件SPSS13.0进行处理:分别运用描述性统计学、相关性分析和独立样本T检验的统计学方法分析数据,从而一一回答本研究提出的问题。定性研究采用一对一的访谈形式对6名受试者进行调查,目的在于补充验证定量研究的结果。本文主要取得以下研究结果: (1)我国高校英语专业三年级学生在英语学习过程中或多或少都经受着英语学习焦虑的困扰;(2)在英语课堂焦虑的三个方面中,交际畏惧最为突出,而考试焦虑则不显著;(3)学生英语成绩与英语学习焦虑呈负相关,成绩越差,其焦虑度越高,反之亦然;(4)性别与英语学习焦虑呈显著性相关,男生英语学习焦虑程度明显高于女生。基于上述研究结果,本文作者指出:在高校英语教学中,英语教师为了帮助学生缓解其英语学习焦虑,应尽可能地创造轻松活泼的课堂气氛,进行适当的课堂评价,帮助学生意识到语言焦虑的存在,增强其学好英语的自信心,同时加强男生和女生的互动。只有这样才能提高学生的英语学习效率。
