一语在大学英语课堂中使用量的调查

针对一语即中文在国内大学英语教学课堂上普遍存在这一现象,对来自云南大学的五位英语教师进行了课堂实地观察,旨在发现一语在大学英语课堂上的实际使用量。实验结果发现五位教师在各自课堂中一语的使用量过高。大学英语课堂中如此高的一语使用量在某种程度上减少了学生在课堂上所能获得的目标语输入量,降低了学生获得语言习得的可能性。此外,五位教师课堂一语的使用量也存在巨大差异,这必然导致班级间的不平等,使来自某些班级的学生比其他学生更有可能获得语言习得的机会。

The Research on Chinese Use in the University EFL Classrooms

This paper presents the result of five classroom observations concerning how much Chinese （L1） university teachers actually used in their EFL classrooms for non-English majors. Five subjects from Yunnan Universities took part in the study and the result suggests that the quantity of Chinese used in these university EFL classrooms seems to be beyond a beneficial level. Such practice is very likely to deprive students of the precious TL input they get in the classroom. Besides,there exists a huge variability across the five teachers,which will also deprive the students of their equal chance of achieving second language acquisition.
