语境配置对EFL听说学习的影响

本研究以韩礼德的语域理论为依据,采用定性和定量的分析方法,尝试结合功能语言学早期语域理论与近年发展的基于语言认知的观点进行整合应用研究。此研究设计两组语境配置以检验其促听促说效果:(1)实验组根据先听本族语人的角色会话而后编写角色扮演任务、再进行口头角色扮演;(2)对照组先听本族语人的角色会话,而后做传统的课后听写练习,再做口头角色扮演。研究结果表明,第一种语境配置有显著的促听效果。研究同时显示,该语境配置促说效果虽较明显,但没有显著性差异。基于实验结果,认为语境配置应包括任务变量和认知心理因素。 

Effects of Contextual Configurations on EFL Listening and Speaking

Based on Halliday＇s register theory,this paper,adopting both qualitative and quantitative methods,attempts to integrate the register theory and the recent development of language-based cognitive view of SFL,which is applied in the present experimental study.Two types of contextual configurations（CC） are designed to test their effects on promoting listening and speaking： 1） the experimental group is required to write role-play tasks after listening to native speakers＇ conversations and then role-play;2） the control group is required to do traditional after-class listening exercises after listening to native speakers＇ conversations and then role-play.The results show that the first type of CC has a significant effect on promoting listening but marginal significance in speaking.Based on the experimental results,the study holds that CC should incorporate task variables and cognitive/psychological factors for EFL learning.
