打破大学英语课堂中的沉默──提高课堂互动的行动研究

Classroom interactions in college English class: Using action research to overcome students' reticence

本文是针对情感因素影响大学英语阅读课课堂互动进行的持续三个学期的行动研究项目报告。针对大学英语课上时常出现互动不佳、学生沉默、课堂氛围不够好的情况。只加强对课堂互动重要性的认识，加强对教材的把握，采取积极的教学态度以及改进教学理念等还远远不够。情感也是影响课堂互动的重要因素之一。本研究发现，在采取了多项措施拉近学生与老师的心理距离、帮助学生建立互信合作的关系后，课堂上师生间、学生间的互动都得到了实质性的改观，课堂沉默显着减少。

This paper is a report of a three-semester action research project implemented to improve the classroom interaction in the comprehensive reading course of a non-major English class. In English class, reticence causing ineffective classroom interactions is often found among the students. It is not very much helpful only to better understand the importance of classroom interactions, to know more about teaching materials, to take a more positive attitude and to improve teaching conception. The affective factors are also discovered as one of the major causes of the reticence and the ineffective classroom interactions. In this action research project, efforts were made to change teacher-student relationship in a better way and improve the relationship among the students in the class. It proves again that the affective aspect, like the mutual trust between teacher and students and among the students, can significantly reduce class reticence and greatly facilitate classroom interaction.
