对英语专业学生第二外语日语习得影响因素的研究_英语论文

Research on the Influence of Studying Japanese for English Major Students 

摘要

语言是维系人与人之间友好交流的开端。之所以把英语作为国际上的通用语言，不仅是因为世界上大多数国家以它作为官方语言，更重要的是它可以缩短国与国之间的距离，使全世界人民能够共同友好的沟通交流与发展。随着时代的进步，社会多元化的发展，英语已经远远不能够满足人们开阔眼界的需求。因此，“小语种”逐渐受到人们的欢迎。中国大多数的大学都开设了除英语之外的第二外语的课程，供学生们学习，对于英语专业的学生来说也不例外。其中较为普遍的语言有日语，德语，法语等等。本文就英语专业的学生在日语学习中会受哪些因素的影响这一问题做定量研究。研究发现，在影响英语专业学生学习二外日语的因素中，有一部分是对日语学习产生积极影响的，而剩下的则是对日语学习产生消极影响。
