文理科大学生英语词汇记忆策略培训研究

基于O′Malley＆Chamot的词汇记忆策略分类,以显性和课堂融入相结合的方式对114名福建农林大学2008级文理科大学生进行为期一学年的英语词汇记忆策略培训,旨在研究策略培训效果并对比文理科大学生词汇记忆策略培训效果的差异。研究结果表明：英语词汇记忆策略培训能提高文理科大学生的策略意识,为他们提供更多有效地记忆词汇的方法,扩大他们记忆策略的选择范围,提高他们的词汇水平。策略培训后想象策略和分类策略仍然不常被使用。文理科大学生在反复策略、联想策略、构词策略、分类策略、上下文记忆策略以及词汇水平提高程度上都存在显著差异,其诱因是不同的认知风格和学习动机。

A study on English vocabulary memory strategy training of college students in humanities and sciences

Based on O′MalleyChamot′s classification,this research is designed to discover the training effects of English vocabulary memory strategies on students of humanities and sciences and to contrast the training results between both groups.The subjects are 114 students from Grade 2008 in Fujian Agriculture and Forestry University and the training method is dominant strategy illustration in combination with classroom teaching.The results reveal that memory strategy training can enhance the subjects′ strategy consciousness,provide them with more effective memory methods,widen their range of strategies to choose from,and raise their vocabulary level.However,imaginary and grouping strategies remain infrequently used after the training.Significant differences between students of humanities and sciences exist in the strategies of repetition,association,word-formation,grouping,context,as well as the raise in vocabulary level.The main reasons lie in their different cognitive styles and motivations.
