大学英语写作中的母语负迁移及教学启示

在语言学研究领域中,迁移是描述二语学习过程中母语对二语学习产生影响的术语。它在行为主义背景下产生,又随着行为主义教学理论的衰落而几乎被摒弃,之后在认知主义理论框架下重新得以发展。母语迁移既体现在对二语输入的理解过程中,又体现在二语输出的产生过程中,尤其直观地体现在学习者的写作中。分别从词汇、句法、语篇三个层面分析了大学英语写作中母语负迁移造成的各种影响,尝试着提出了解决母语负迁移的方法——正确的认知态度、广泛的英语阅读与真实的写作情境、全面的对比分析。

Native Language's Negative Transfer in College English Writing and Its Pedagogical Implication

Transfer is the term labeling the influence of native language upon the target language in the second language acquisition.Originated in behaviorism,it was almost abandoned following its decline,then developed in cognitive theory.Native language transfer is reflected in both understanding second language input and creating second language output,especially in the second language writings by English learners.This paper focuses on the mistakes at lexical,syntax and discourse levels arising out of negative transfer of native language in Chinese college students' English writing,and attempts to offer strategies to address this issue: positive attitude toward language transfer,solid linguistic knowledge and comprehensive contrastive analysis.
