内容摘要

对以英语作为外语的学习者而言,词汇学习至关重要。习得一个词汇包括了解它的概念意义和联想意义,譬如词汇的文化内涵。现行的高中英语教材和测试愈具文化要求,而令学生困惑的问题中,更多的是由文化差异所引起的。同时,掌握词汇的文化意义也是跨文化交际的需要。因此,研究文化负载词汇的习得十分重要。本次研究调查了高中学生文化负载词的习得状况。共计150位高二学生参与了调查。他们分别来自于苏州市第一中学、田家炳实验中学、苏州市第十中学和苏苑中学。本研究通过词汇测试、期中测试和课堂观察来获取数据,回答两个研究问题:(1)目前,高中生对英语文化负载词的习得情况处于何种水平?(2)文化负载词的习得水平与英语语言水平之间存在何种关系?所得数据采用SPSS 17.0进行分析。通过研究得出了以下结论:高二学生的文化负载词习得情况较好,女生较男生有微弱优势;文化负载词的习得水平与英语语言水平密切相关,且相关性存在明显的性别差异,男生的相关系数高于女生。探索以上问题的同时也获得了两个与词汇教学相关的发现:词汇教学中的文化因素涉及较少或不为重视;词汇教学手段有限。因此本文对词汇教学提出了一些建议。
