【摘要】 信息与通讯技术的发展和进步推动社会向知识型社会转变,推动着经济向全球化发展。英语在国际交流中的桥梁作用更为凸现。技术的进步同时也为满足越来越多的学习者的不同语言学习需求和英语教学模式的改革提供了有力的技术支撑。中国英语教学同样应顺应这一趋势。以IT技术为基础的,更具体得说以电脑/网络为基础的英语教学手段和英语自主学习模式在国家教育部颁发的《大学英语课程要求》中已有明确规定和要求。国外研究者已经就计算机辅助语言教学(CALL),语言学习者自主(ALL),或者这两者的结合展开了理论和实践方面的大量研究。自计算机辅助教学和语言学习者自主理论被引入我国英语教学领域,越来越多国内研究者开始涉足研究这两种教学方法和模式在我国英语教学中的理论价值和实践价值。然而综观国内外的研究成果,把二语习得理论中的“输入理论”与计算机辅助教学方法和语言自主学习理论结合起来综合探讨提高学习者的英语水平的研究似乎不多。因此,本文作者试图通过建立一个新的英语学习模式---语言输入、学习者、自主学习、计算机辅助学习环境为其中的四项要素,该四项要素共同作用---来调查研究英语教学的有效性,并努力探索三个问题的答案,即:1)计算机辅助教学环境中多层面、多渠道信息输入是否能促进学习者的学习自主性?2)计算机辅助教学环境中多层面、多渠道信息输入如何促进学习者的学习自主性?3)计算机辅助教学环境中多渠道信息输入与语言自主学习模式的结合能否提高学习者语言输出能力?文献综述首先介绍了“输入理论”,尤其是克拉伸的“输入假设”。该假设强调语言输入的四个最佳输入标准。而计算机和互联网的运用无疑可以从技术层面上满足这四项标准。计算机辅助教学的发展的三个阶段同样也强调如何为学习者提供更多的真实的目的语的输入。显而易见,在计算机辅助语言教学环境中,语言信息的输入可以得到强化和多样化。语言输入的共时性会对学习者理念,包括:学习者的信心、动机、好奇心、兴趣等产生重要影响,同时对学习者的感官产生很大的触动。语言输入的多样性和多渠道性使学习者更乐意接受和采用新的学习模式和手段,这为培养学习者自主学习能力创造了前提。计算机辅助教学和自主学习理论的发展是共时的,相互交织的。许多著名的学者对自主学习的发展作出巨大的贡献.作者结合前人的研究成果,旨在强调学习者的学习自控性、自主学习能力的可培养性以及自主学习可产生有效的学习效果。事实上,计算机辅助教学和自主学习理论不仅具有相似的时间发展轨迹而且两者都能在对当代外语教学具有指导意义的建构主义理论中找到理论支撑。建构主义强调学习者的自主性,学习者在学习中的中心地位,以及没有压力的宽松的学习环境。简言之,文献综述旨在建构该论文的理论框架,确保实证研究中结论的可信度。笔者就其所工作的学院的90名英语和信息管理专业的学生进行了问卷调查,并对该学院的04级的英语和信息管理专业的两个班级进行了实证调查。通过对所得数据的分析研究得出以下结论:首先,大部分学生对CALL持肯定态度;其次,部分学生对ALL不是十分了解,不会自主学习;再次,计算机辅助环境下多层面信息输入能促进自主学习;另外,在自主学习模式中,以计算机和网络为支撑的信息输入渠道和信息量能使学生更加积极;最后,计算机辅助学习环境中,多层面的信息输入能帮助提高学生的英语水平。这些结果反映出学习者、语言输入、ALL、CALL这四个因素之间的相互作用能提高学习者的英语输出能力。这些发现同样也给我们提供了一些启示:语言学习与新的信息技术之间的结合应进一步加强;自主学习的相关知识以及自主学习的模式应该受到更多的关注;提高英语水平,自主学习模式和计算机辅助学习方法的综合运用应该在更广的范围提倡。更多还原

【Abstract】 Information and communication technology accelerates the coming of Knowledge Society and global economy, which highlights the bridging function of English language in worldwide communication and provides technological support to reform the English language education model to cater to an increasing number of learners’diversified needs. English education in China is no exception to this trend. IT-based, to be more specific, computer/internet-based English education approach and autonomous language learning model have been strongly advocated and stipulated in College English Curriculum Requirements issued by National Education Ministry.Theoretical and empirical researches on computer-assisted language education, learners’autonomous language learning, and / or on the combination of both have been and are being conducted a lot abroad. Since the introduction of computer-assisted language learning and autonomous language learning in Chinese college English education, more and more domestic English language researchers have set their feet in exploring their theoretical and practical value. However, among so many researches, there seem fewer studies in this respect that have been done from the angle of the integration of input theory, CALL and ALL. Therefore, by endeavoring to finding out the answers to the following three questions: 1) does the multi-facet information input in CALL environment promote learners’autonomous language learning? 2) how does the multi-facet information input in CALL environment foster learners’autonomous language learning?and 3) do the multi-channel input and autonomous language learning in CALL environment make learners more productive?, the author, in the present study, makes a tentative attempt to investigate the efficacy of English teaching with the co-work of four elements --- language input, learner, learner’s autonomous learning, and computer-assisted language learning.The literature review begins with the introduction of input theory, Krashen’s input hypothesis in particular, which emphasizes the four criteria of the optimal input. Blessedly, the four criteria can be technologically met by employing computer and internet, and have always been a constant pursuit in the three phases of the development of CALL: language input in CALL context can be greatly strengthened and diversified. Synchronous language input exerts significant impact on learners’beliefs --- their confidence, motivation, curiosity, interest, etc. and deeply touches their arousal senses. The diversified and multi-channeled language input brings learners intrinsic psychological change. Learners are more apt to accept new model and use new devices to facilitate their language learning, which fully prepares them for autonomous language learning.The development of CALL interweaves with that of language education theories. The same is true of the development of ALL. Renowned figures have made a lot of contributions to ALL, which highlights learners’self-controlling of study, possibility of cultivating learners’ability of autonomous learning and learners’effective achievement in ALL. In fact, ALL follows almost the same chronological developing track as CALL. In the meantime, both CALL and ALL find their theoretical support in constructivism theory, which focuses on offering learners with more freedom in their decisions concerning their study and tops non-pressured learning environment. In one word, the author attempts to build an overarching framework in which input theory, CALL, and ALL co-work and intermingle with each other, with constructivism as their supportive theory. Therefore results to be drawn in the survey and experiment studies can have sound theory basis.From the survey study and the experiment study, respectively conducted among 98 students and two intact classes with 30 students for each from the college where the author is working, the gathered data are carefully analyzed and synthesized. The results drawn from the studies are: first, most students hold positive attitudes towards CALL; second, quite many a student is at loss as to ALL; third, multi-facet information input in CALL environment fosters ALL; fourth, information input channel and load via computers and internet make students more active in ALL; finally, multi-facet information input in CALL environment makes students more productive. All these results reflect that learners, language input, ALL, and CALL environment are four crucial elements which influence the language learning productivity and with their co-work, learners’language proficiency can be achieved. These discoveries also imply that the integration between language learning and new technologies, especially IT, should be furthered and reinforced, that more emphasis on the knowledge of ALL and wide practice of ALL should be attached, and that the combination of ALL and CALL are worth advocating to achieve better English learning.更多还原
