摘要
本文是一篇关联理论指导下英语新闻听力教学改革的实验报告。实验运用定量及定性分析的方法,对某院校英语专业二年级73名学生进行了一个学期的实证性研究。问卷结果显示,学生缺少对新闻英语结构特征的了解和主动寻找最佳关联的经验,影响了认知语境的构建和听力能力的提高。实验结果和访谈验证表明,广播新闻"倒金字塔"式的宏观语义结构切合学习者对话语理解的认知心理,将关联理论和新闻结构相结合,帮助学习者在认知语境中搜寻最佳关联,有助于提高学生对新闻英语的理解,从而为英语新闻听力教学提供新的思路。
This is a research report on teaching English news listening in the light of Relevance Theory.The research investigated 73 sophomores of English majors in a professional college and covered an academic semester.From the research it is learnt that most students are not competent in understanding English news because they are not clear about the typical structure of English news and the ways to find the optimal relevant information.The subsequent teaching experiment and interviews reveal that the ＂Inverted Pyramid＂ structure of English news embodies the basic cognitive process in our listening comprehension,from global to detail,from general to specific.A good application of Relevance Theory to the teaching of English news can help English learners sense the optimal relevance and construct the cognitive context,which leads to a better comprehension of English news.
