母语负迁移对初中生英语写作的影响

论文摘要

在最近的半个世纪中,语言学家认识到了母语对外语的学习有着好的或者坏的影响。而这种影响就被叫做母语迁移。母语迁移又被分为正迁移和负迁移。母语的正迁移通常情况下对外语的学习有好的影响,负迁移则正好相反。在我国的中学外语教学中,教育者逐渐发现,母语的迁移对中学生英语学习产生了很大的影响。本文旨在调查学生在英语写作的错误及错误的频率,通过调查初中学生在他们的英语写作中的错误类型,找出由母语负迁移造成的错误的比例,希望以此帮助英语教师了解初中学生的错误,以便进一步刺激他们正确对待错误从而改进他们的英语教学。最后,针对上述母语负迁移对中学外语写作产生的不好影响,给外语的学习者和外语教师提供了一些建议,以帮助他们在今后的学习和教学中更好地避免由母语负迁所带来的负面影响。
