教师反馈对初中学生课堂参与度的影响研究_英语论文

A Study of Effects of Feedback on Students' Class Involvement in the EFL Classroom of a Junior High School

摘要

对初中学生来说，课堂的有效参与是英语学习取得成效的必要条件。大量研究表明，教师的反馈是影响学生参与和课堂互动的重要因素之一。一方面，教师的反馈为学生表现提供评价性信息，另一方面，它影响着学生的学习兴趣，调控着学生的学习过程。

对教师反馈在中学生课堂的影响在初二年级中抽取83名学生进行调查研究。通过定量与定性分析，可以看出教师的课堂反馈对初中学生的课堂参与度有明显影响。教师在课堂中运用最多的反馈技巧是简单表扬。而学生更期望老师能提供积极反馈、隐形纠错以及眼神，手势等的反馈。提供反馈时，教师应该考虑学生语言水平、态度、性格特点等因素。对课堂表现欠佳的学生。教师应采取鼓励中启发的反馈策略。而对语言能力强的学生，教师应采取表扬中追问的反馈技巧。作为课堂的调控员，教师应提高课堂反馈的质量，根据学生们的不同表现做出有效实用的教学反馈。

Abstract

Active classroom participation is an essential condition to learn English effectively for the junior high school students. Research findings prove that teacher’s feedback is one of the crucial factors that affect students’ class participation and interaction. On the one hand, teacher’s feedback could offer students with assessment, and make students realize the appropriateness or deficiencies of their language behaviors. On the other hand, it directly affects the students’ intrinsic interests and motivation as well as their English learning process.

83 students in 2 classes of the 2nd grade in middle school are involved in the research. On the basis of quantitative and qualitative analysis, it can be seen that the junior high school students’ class participation in English class is indeed affected by teachers’ feedback. The general and simple approval is the type of feedback that the teachers employ most frequently. More positive feedback, implicit corrective feedback from their teachers, as well as the eyes contact, facial expression feedback and gestures are expected by students. When providing feedback, teachers should take factors like language level，attitude，and personality traits of the student into consideration．Feedbacks that encourage and enlighten students serve as an effective instrumental technique for students with lower or intermediate English level. With regard to students with relatively good language competence, positive feedback with elicitation works better for them. As the mediator in class, the teachers should take on their responsibility to enhance the quality of feedback and adopt appropriate feedback to echo with students’ needs actively and tactfully under various conditions.
