英语专业初始阶段内容依托教学模式下学生面临的问题及应对策略研究

An empirical study of the problems in learning under content-based instruction for English majors at the beginning stage and their coping strategies

本研究采用了定性与定量相结合的研究方法，通过对英语专业初始阶段体验过内容依托教学（CBI）的班级进行课堂观察，以及对学生进行问卷调查和半结构化访谈采集研究数据，重点关注了英语专业初始阶段CBI教学模式下学生面临的学习问题及其应对策略。研究发现，主要问题涉及语音学习、词汇学习、语言技能练习、学习材料的选择、课堂参与、对内容的理解和掌握、对课程的认识等方面。本文提出了应对问题的一些有效策略并进行了数据分析。相关研究结果为学生更加有效地学习CBI课程以及CBI任课教师日后的教学提供了有益的启示，也为我国英语专业进一步开展内容依托教学提供了有益的启示。

Both qualitative and quantitative paradigms were employed in this research, and data were collected through classroom observation, a questionnaire, and semi-structured interviews with English majors who had experienced CBI (Content-based Instruction) courses in the first semester of their university study. After analyzing the data collected, problems were discovered in such aspects as the acquisition of pronunciation, the learning of English vocabulary, the training of language skills, the selection of learning materials, the participation in class activities, the understanding of content, and the attitude to CBI courses. Some strategies considered as effective by students were presented as well to cope with the problems and were analyzed in detail. The findings are likely to help students and teachers with their learning and teaching of CBI courses, and shed light on the further application of CBI to the education of English majors in the Chinese context.
