不同层次英语专业学习者专八改错答题情况实证研究

英语专业八级改错题是检测英语专业水平的重要手段之一，不同层次的英语专业学习者答题情况尚无人研究，有必要做专题探讨。通过答卷研判、访谈及归因分析，研究发现：1）英语专业学习者英语综合运用水平（English proficiency in comprehensive application，EPCA）整体不高，所有被试的均分为2.7分，只有12.5%的被试达到及格线，单题词汇辨析的正确率低至0.83%；2）4组被试的EPCA，只有大学教师组与其他各组之间存在显著性差异，本科二年级组、本科四年级组、中小学教师组各组之间均无显著性差异，说明EPCA不会简单地随着学习时间的延长而提高；3）EPCA较低，是由于一语词义与二语音形混合的词汇学习方法以及“英语思维缺席”制约了英语综合运用能力（English competence in comprehensive application，ECCA）的发展。建议采用“遵循英语思维特点学习英语”的策略，以便提高ECCA。

An Empirical Study on TEM8 Proofreading Performance by English Majors at Different Levels

Proofreading of TEM8,one of the most important ways to test the proficiency of English majors,deserves diverse scientific studies but no academic research can be found on the performance of English learners at different levels.Through the analysis of scores,interview and causal analysis,we get the following results.1) Learners'' English proficiency in comprehensive application(EPCA) is far from satisfactory as the average score of all the subjects is 2.7,only 12.5% of the subjects reach the pass line and the accuracy of one single vocabulary item is as low as 0.83%.2) Only the college teachers group has significant differences with the other three,that is,the sophomores group,the seniors group and the primary and secondary school teachers group,among which there is no significant difference.The insignificant variation indicates that EPCA doesn''t increase with the extension of learning time.3) The method of studying vocabulary by combining the meaning in form of Chinese and the sound and forms in English,and the absence of English thinking mode(ETM) affect English competence in comprehensive application(ECCA) and cause low EPCA.It is suggested that learning based on the traits of ETM be adopted to improve ECCA.
