【摘要】 口语交际能力是外语教学明确追求的目标之一,同时也是学生英语能力最基本的表现。而事实上很多学生的口语表达能力很不理想,甚至无法完成简单的口头交流。同时,传统的结构法和交际法运用于英语口语教学具有一定的局限性。语块教学策略是传统的结构法和交际法之间的中间地带,它兼顾了口语教学的正确性和流利性。简单地讲,语块是语法、语义和语境的结合体,有其内部结构和意义的制约性,其中一部分可以帮助回忆起另一部分,比脱离语境的单词更容易被记住,而且能够直接提取运用,同时,语块教学法有利于提高口头表达的流利性、连贯性和地道性。因此,笔者认为语块的构建为高职高专英语口语教学提供了一条新的途径。尽管,目前语块教学已经被逐渐地运用到语言教学中,特别是在词汇和写作教学中。但是,很少有学者关注语块在口语教学中的运用,而对于语块在高职院校的口语教学中的研究就更为少见了。因此,本文研究的着眼点正是语块策略在高职院校口语中的运用,分析语块教学策略对高职学生口语的影响。本研究试图回答以下问题:1)语块教学策略是否能够增长学习者的语块知识?2)语块教学策略是否影响学习者口语交际的流利性,准确性和地道性?3)语块教学策略是否比传统的口语教学方法能收到更好的教学效果?本研究通过对语块的定义、分类、理论基础以及高职学生口语语块能力现状的分析,以笔者所任教的山东工业职业学院的非英语专业两个平行班的学生为研究对象进行实证研究。其中一个班为实验班,另一个班为控制班。在整个实验过程中,笔者采用了问卷调查、观察法、访谈和测验的研究方法,对所得的各项数据进行了严格而科学的统计分析。实验数据统计分析表明:1)语块教学策略有助于增长学习者的语块知识。2)语块教学策略能加快语言处理的速度,对语言习得和促进语言输出的流利性,准确性和地道性都具有重大意义。3)语块教学策略比传统的口语教学方法能收到更好的教学效果。语块教学法比传统的口语教学方法更能提高学生的口语表达能力。但笔者在研究过程中也发现,在具体实施语块教学过程中,也存在着一些不容忽视的局限和困难,还需结合高职英语口语课堂教学的实际做进一步改进。

【Abstract】 Oral communicative competence is one of the targets that foreign language teachingspecifically pursues. It is also the most basic manifestation of a person’s English ability. Tocontradict the actual expectation, although many students can have good performance inwritten test, their performance on oral English is not optimistic, and they cannot accomplish areal communication task easily. At the same time, the traditional structural approach andcommunicative approach used in oral English teaching have certain limitations.Lexical chunks strategy is the intermediate zone between the traditional structuralapproach and communicative approach, and it gives attention to both accuracy and fluency inoral English teaching. To put simply, lexical chunk is the combination of grammar, semantics,and context, which has conditionality on its internal structure and meaning, and within it, onepart can help recall the other part, which is easier to be remembered than individual wordsdetached from the context, and it can be directly fetched and used. What’s more, lexical chunkteaching strategy is helpful in the increasing of fluency, continuity, and authenticity in oralexpression. Therefore, the author thinks that the buildup of lexical chunks provides a newpath for oral English teaching in vocational colleges. At present, although lexical chunksteaching strategy has been gradually applied to language teaching, especially in vocabularyand writing teaching, few scholars pay attention to the use of lexical chunks strategy in orallanguage teaching, and there is even less research in the application of lexical chunks in orallanguage teaching in vocational colleges. Therefore, the focus of this paper is the applicationof lexical chunks strategy in oral English teaching in vocational colleges and the analysis ofthe impact of lexical chunks teaching strategy to oral English ability of vocational collegestudents. So this study attempted to apply the lexical chunk teaching strategy to the oralEnglish teaching in higher vocational colleges, and tried to answer the following questionswith teaching experiments:1) Will the lexical chunks strategy help to increase the lexical chunks knowledge ofstudents?2) Will the lexical chunks strategy help to influence the fluency, accuracy, and idiomaticity of students’ oral English?3) Will the lexical chunks strategy help to enhance the teaching effect than traditionaloral English teaching method?Through analysis to the definition, classification, and theoretical basis of lexical chunks,as well as current situation of oral lexical chunks ability of vocational college students, theauthor performed empirical study to two parallel classes of students non-English major inShandong Vocational College of Industry where the author teaches. One of the classes is setas experimental class, the other the control class. During the whole process of experiment, theauthor has adopted research approaches such as questionnaire survey, observation, tests andinterviews, and has had strict and scientific statistical analysis to the data acquired. Thestatistical analysis of the experimental data shows that:1) The lexical chunks strategy canhelp to increase the lexical chunks knowledge of students.2) The lexical chunks strategyplays a very important role not only in the acquisition of language but also help to promotethe easy, fluency, accuracy and idiomaticity of language production.3) The lexical chunksstrategy can help to enhance the teaching effect than traditional oral English teaching method.The lexical chunks strategy can better enhance students’ oral ability of expression thantraditional oral English teaching method. Lexical chunks strategy advocates the memorizationand accumulation of big amount of lexical chunks in English learning. This will not onlyincrease students’ sense of achievement in English learning, but also make their languageoutput more fluent, proper, and coherent, and thus optimize communication effectiveness. Butin this research process, the author also found that there exist some difficulties and limitationsduring the detail implementation of lexical chunks teaching process, which needs to be further,improved with the combination of reality in vocational college classroom teaching of oralEnglish.
