非英语专业本科生英语词汇学习策略的研究

通过问卷调查、课堂观察和访谈,运用定量分析的方法,研究了240名福建农林大学非英语专业一年级学生英语词汇学习策略使用的总体状况,并对文理科大学生英语词汇学习策略使用差异进行对比分析。研究结果显示：被调查的非英语专业本科生是成熟的字典使用者,但仍然坚持传统的死记硬背和孤立使用单词表背单词。选择注意、猜测、联想、构词法等策略频繁被使用,但是其他元认知策略和社会、情感策略不常被使用。大部分被调查的学生对课堂记笔记不积极,尤其忽视分类、想象和社会策略。被调查的文理科大学生在语义联想、猜测、字典详尽使用和情感策略等4个方面存在显著差异,其诱因是不同的学习特点和学习风格。
