Abstract In order to answer the question “Does genre of the listening input affect the listening comprehension?”, the study examined participants? performanc e on the global questions and local questions by taking 30 English majors from a university in Guangzhou as the participants and taking 3 conversation and 6 pieces of news broadcast extracted from the listening comprehension part of TEM-4 2010 as the listening input of the test. The result showed that participants had better performance on the global questions of conversation while they had better results in answering the local questions. Therefore, this study claimed that the distinct generic characteristics of conversation and news broadcast led to the deviation of participants? listening comprehension on the global and local questions. That was to say, genres had effect on English major?s listening comprehension. Hence, it was suggested that in English teaching, teachers should help learners to learn more knowledge about the typical generic characteristics of different genres so that learners can comprehend different genres better.

1. Introduction

…Genre? is originally a French word means …kind? and …type?. In English, the term refers to classification of the literary works. In order to achieve certain social purpose, a genre of text has its own typical and particular structure and textual feature. That is to say, the social function of the genre of a text can be reflected in the macrostructure of the text. Is it possib le that genre is among the factors that affect English learners? listening comprehension since the listening process involves the “to p-down process”which deals with the information process of the macrostructure? Besides, according to “genre analysis theory”(秦秀白, 1997:8-15) , the typical generic characteristics of a genre of text consist of three factors include the linguistic factor, the generic factors and the register factors. And the three factors should be paid attention to when analyzing a genre of text. As each genre has its own particular generic characteristics, do the typical generic characteristics of listening input influence English learners? listening comprehension?

The main concern of this paper is to answer the question “does genre of liste ning input affect the listening comprehension?”.

The rest of this thesis consists of four parts: Section Two is a related literature review; Section Three describes the methodology and result of data analysis; Section Four presents the discussions and implications; and the last section is devoted to conclusions.

2. Literature Review

2.1 The Definition of Genre

As the genre theory did not arouse linguistic scholars? interest to employ this term in the field of discourse analysis until 1970?s, the definition of genre has not come to an agreement. There are two schools studying the genre theory, the …Swalesian School?which is represented by J M. Swales, and the …Australian School? which is represented by J R. Martin (秦秀白 2000:42-46). Based on the study of many linguists, Chinese linguists made an interpretation: First, types of spoken and written discourse are

classified into different genres according to the social communicative purpose of the social intercourse. Second, the pattern of one genre is variable. Third, the social communicative purpose retrains the content and the format of the text. And the content and the format of the text are conventional, stable, repetitive and habitual. Fourth, genre is closely related to cultural background and contextual configuration. Under certain cultural context, the communicative purpose of a social intercourse is usually achieved by several conventional stages, the characteristic of one particular genre will be presented in the particular structure and the language style which are determined by its social communicative purpose. Hence to attain certain social communicative purpose, we have to construct a particular discourse in typical structure and textual configuration in order to make the relevant community understand.（梁文花、秦洪武, 2009:44-48）

2.2 The Genre theory

Under certain cultural context, in order to achieve the communicative purpose, a social intercourse is constructed in certain conventional stages and in particular language style. Hence it is necessary to focus on the macrostructure, the textual features or the rhetorical devices and the register of a genre of discourse. According to Qin Xiubai (秦秀白，1997：8-15), the analysis of a genre of discourse should be analyzed from the following three aspects. Firstly, textual analysis such as linguistic description and the communicator?s appropriate employment of language. Secondly, the analysis of the context of situation which consists of field, tenor and mode of the text. As a particular genre of discourse is produced under certain context, one would produce discourse in tactful language according to the social reality. Thirdly, the analysis of the …moves? that construct the macrostructure of a genre. According to Bhatia, an application letter in English obviously is a particular genre, and in order to gain the opportunity to get the job, the candidate should constructed the letter in certain stable moves that are accepted and understood by the employee and the candidate (Bhatia 1993, qtd. in 秦秀白1997). Hence, it is known that a particular genre is constructed in certain typical ‘moves’.

In this paper, Qin Xiubai?s viewpoint will be employed to analyze the test materials which contain the genres of news broadcast and conversation for it emphasizes on the

whole analysis of the text of one particular genre.

2.3 Previous Research on Genre and Listening Comprehension

There are a few studies concerning the influence of different genres on English learners? listening comprehension. Elana Shohamy and Ofra Inbar (1991:23-40) inves tigated the effect of both texts and question types on participants? scores of listening comprehension tests by taking 150 EFL learners who were from Hebrew as the subjects. The test material consisted of three text types, i.e. news broadcast, mini-lecture and consultative dialogue, which were of the same topic and vocabulary size but the different literary style. The consultative dialogue was oral-oriented and was characterized by simple expression, spontaneous language and many redundancies and repetitions, while the news broadcast was literature-oriented and was characterized by complex sentences, specialized language and a lack of redundancies, and the reporter did not interact with the audience (Berne, 1992: 6-7). It was found out that the degree of ora lity affected participants? performance. The result showed the more one text contained listenable features, the better the subjects performed. That was to say, news broadcast was the most difficult to comprehend for it was literature-oriented, followed by mini-lecture and followed then by consultative dialogue. Moreover, the questions were classified into global and local type to explore how the question types affected the participants? performance. The result showed that local questions were easier than global questions because it was more difficult to deduce and construct the whole meaning of the text than to locate the detail information in the text.

The subjects of Shohamy?s experiment were Hebrew. Hebrew shares the similar language system with English, so the difference between Hebrew and English is lower than that between Chinese and English. Therefore, in order to check whether the result would be the same as Shohamy?s, this paper aims at the investigation of the effect of different genres on the listening comprehension of English majors who are from China, and the question types are global and local questions just as Shohamy?s.

3. The Study

In this study, an experimental design is used to test the effect of the genres of news

broadcast and conversation on 30 English majors?listening comprehension. And the connection between the generic characteristics of news broadcast and conversation and the factors lead to the deviation of English majors listening comprehension will be verified. In this section, the participants, instruments, procedures and data collection and analysis will be described.

3.1 Research Questions

From Section Two, it is obvious that different genres have their own characteristics due to their social communicative purpose. And the research question addressed by the study is as follow:

Do the participants have different performance on different generic input of the listening comprehension test?

3.2 Participants

The participants of this study are English majors from Grade 2009 of the School of Foreign Language, Guangzhou University. A total of 30 students are chosen to participate in the listening test because they got the scores from 60 to 65 in the pre-test, which qualifies the participants are at the same level. And as they are all at the average level, more typical mistakes can be seen in their performance, and it helps to study the research questions.

3.3 Instruments

The pre-test material is in fact the final examination of …An Integrated English Course? which is the English course for English majors of Guangzhou University. Students are asked to finish multiple choice questions of the problems include general knowledge and reading comprehension and open-ended questions of four types of problems include paraphrase, correcting errors, translation and writing in the final examination. The total score of the examination is 100, the multiple choice questions worth 40 points (1 point per multiple-choice question) and the open-ended questions such as translation and writing worth 60 points (20 points per open-ended question). The aim of the examination is to check up on English majors? comprehensive ability of English, so it is a standard criterion to evaluate students? English level in order to choose the participants.

The test material is three conversations and six pieces of news extracted from the

listening comprehension part in TEM-4 (Test for English Major-4) in 2010. TEM-4 is of great significance to English majors because it is an examination officially accepted by China Education Min istry and the aim of it is examine English majors? capacity for overall English skills and mastering of grammar structure and vocabulary. Participants are asked to finish the multiple choice questions of the conversation section and the news broadcast sect ion of …Listening Comprehension? and there were both 10 questions in news broadcast and conversation. But only 8 of these 10 questions would be chosen as the global and local questions. And in …conversation? section, participants will totally listen to 3 c onversation items and they will finish 3 or 4 questions that are based on one conversation item at each time. Then in …news broadcast? section, participants will listen to total 6 news items and they will finish 1 or 2 questions that are based on one news item at each time.

The global question refers to those which participants need to answer by understanding the main idea and the causation of the conversation or news items. And a global question may like …What is the news item about?. But as there is not a typical global question in the questions of conversation, a why-question is chosen to be the global question of conversation as participants had to deduce the answer according to their summary of the information they got. And the local question is those which participants need to answer by locating the detail information and recognizing the information of the conversation or news items, and it may like …How many people were rescued from the apartment building?. Hence in this paper, each 7 questions will be employed as the local questions of conversation and news broadcast and each 1 question will be employed as the global questions of conversation and news broadcast. The measurement is to count the total number of the participants? correct answers to the lo cal and global questions.

3.4 Procedures

The test is consisted of two parts. In the first part, a pre-test is done to decide who will be the participants so that the participants are at the same level; the second part is the test about how the texts of new s broadcast and conversation affect the participants? listening comprehension.

3.4.1 Pre-test

The aim of this part is to evaluate the students? English level to determine which one

can be the participants of the test. Because the typical mistakes are more tend to be seen in average students. And due to the practical factors, the results of English majors? final examination were employed as the criterion to decide who would be the participants for it is authoritative. With class for the unit, all of the English majors in Grade 2009 were required to have the final examination on a particular day at the end of the term. During the final examination, the participants had to finish the exam independently and there were two teachers monitoring one class to have examination. And the duration of the examination was 2 hours. Moreover the exam papers were revised by the English teachers of Guangzhou University according to the model answer given by the teacher who set the exam papers.

3.4.2 Test

The test was conducted in the form of quiz in a random ordinary classroom. The researcher firstly copied the clips of the 3 conversation items and 6 news items to a personal computer and then brought the computer to the classroom. The 30 participants were gathered and instructed to listen to the test material carefully. Before that, the participants were issued the answer sheets, and then they were required to go over the questions on the answer sheets first. After that, the researcher played the clips of the test material one by one. All of the clips were played once only. And after each clip was played, one minute was given to participants to answer a series of questions based on the clip of conversation or news broadcast. Then the clips were played in order until the tape came to an end. And the participants finished the questions independently and were monitored by the researcher and another person. After the participants finished, they were required to hand in their answer sheets and the researcher graded the answer sheets of the participants according to the model answer from the exercise book …Tests with Advice on How to Prepare TEM-4?.

3.5 Data Collection and Results

3.5.1 The test questions on TEM-4 listening comprehension

There were 7 local questions and 1 global question in the test material of conversation and news broadcast.

That was to say, more participants could answer the global question of conversation correctly. There was each one global question in conversation part and in news broadcast part and the global question of conversation was question number 10 and that of news broadcast was question number 27. According to the table above, there were 24 right answers of participants in conversation part while there were 21 right answers of participants in the news part. And the accurate rate of conversation was 80% while that of news broadcast was 70%, that was to say, the global question of conversation and that of news broadcast were not difficult to the participants. But generally speaking, the accurate rate of conversation was10 percent higher than that of news broadcast.

From the table, the accuracy of news broadcast was higher. That was to say, more participants could answer the local questions of news broadcast correctly. There were each 7 local questions in conversation part and in news part. According to table 2, there were total 117 right answers to the 7 local questions of conversation, however there were 129 right answers to the local questions of news part. In consequence, the accurate rate of news broadcast was 61%, which was 5% higher than that of conversation.

According to the table above, question number 4 had the lowest accuracy, which was 20%. Question number 5 had the second lowest accuracy, which was 30%, and question number 6 had the third lowest accuracy, which was 40%. Moreover, as mentioned in the instruments part, question number 4 to 7 were based on the second conversation, and apparently, the second conversation had the fewest right answers. That was to say, compared with other conversations, the second conversation was the most difficult to answer for the participants.

According to the difficulty level of the questions, the question can be divided into three levels: easy question; medium question and difficult question. And the accuracy of an easy question is higher or equal to 90%; the accuracy of a medium one is from 41% to 89% and the accuracy of a difficult one is lower or equal to 40%. And a brief conclusion could be drawn that in conversation part, question number 4, 5 and 6 were difficult questions, question number 1 and 7 were medium questions and question number 2 and 8 were easy question. As for news part, question number 24 and 28 were difficult questions, question number 25 and 29 were medium questions and question number 21, 26 and 30 were easy questions.

4. Discussion and Implication

4.1 Discussion

It is reasonable to come to the conclusion that the participants can understand the global type of question of the conversation better because the accuracy of conversation is higher than that of news broadcast. That was to say, participants could understand the whole meaning of the text of conversation better. In general, the design of the global questions was to check up on participants? ability to reconstruct the whole meaning of the text and to have a basic concept of the internal macrostructure of the text. So participants needed to make use of the contextual clues and their background knowledge to conclude the facts they heard and to construct the main idea of text. Hence, from the text of the global question of the conversation, the information participants needed was delivered in order of the event because it was repeated to A speaker Mary by B speaker James for it was James who received the call from the manager and he had to repeat the whole thing to Mary. So what participants heard was an organized part of the text and participants didn?t need to reconstruct but to get the answer directly. As for the accuracy of the news global question was lower was because actually participants were not familiar with the topic of the news item as it was about the political policy of foreign country. Besides, they had not a clear idea about …genre? and didn?t pay attention to the information in the specific location of the news.

A conclusion can be reached that the participants can acquire the detail information of conversation better because the accuracy of the local questions of news broadcast was 5% higher than that of conversation. The design of the local questions was to check up on participants? ability t o grasp details. So the immediate sound and meaning recognition was emphasized. For example, in question number 29, the answer to the question ...How many people were rescued from the apartment building?? could be found in a sentence (21)

people have been res cued? in the middle of the news. It is just accord with the generic characteristics of news broadcast that the useful information is plainer and more direct and can be gained directly from the text. It was the reason why participants could acquire the detail better. As for the accuracy of local questions of conversation was lower was that, for example, in question number 4, apparently the key information that participants needed was followed by the inferring information such as …their husbands or wives? and…the

transport? disturbed the participants. They needed the information …I haven?t counted the numbers of delegates?, but between the key information “haven?t counted” and “the number of delegates” of the sentence above were mixed 4 sentences about other things. The generic structure of conversation resulted in the distribution of key information, and it was the main cause of the wrong answers to this local question.

The factors led to the deviation of participants listening comprehension of global and local questions could be found by analyzing the text of the news and conversation that had the lowest accuracy. The difficult questions from the second conversation and question number 28 from fifth news item (question number 4 was skipped for it was analyzed above and question number 24 is also skipped for it was from the second news item with a question which had nothing to do with this study) were about to be analyzed for they were typical and had the lowest accuracy. Firstly as the second conversation was a communicative event of having phone calls, the social communicative purpose of the second conversation determined the loosely organized structure of the text. As it was spontaneous, the language was oral and nature. And the speakers changed the topic so quickly that the key information of the text was mixed with other information. Besides, the register of the text should be considered. That was to say, as the two speakers were partners from two different companies, they tended to speak in a consultative way rather than requiring the other one to do something. For example in question number 5, the question was “what does Linda want to know”, so participants would more likely to pay attention to the key phrase “want to know”. But actually Linda said …you?ll let me know when they are arriving, won?t you?? but didn?t point it out she “want” directly to show their relation of equality. The relationship between them determined Linda had to express her request in a euphemistic way. This special generic characteristic of the text made participants have to guess what they really wanted to say. As regard question number six, participants were request to deduce …how many performances have been planned for the conference?. But the useful information “a local-style dance” and “a piano performance” were mixed with 4 sentences between them, which were about Linda?s opinion on the performance and the arrangement for the performers. So it was the particular structure of the genre of conversation led to the participants? mista kes. Secondly, as for question

number 28, the fifth news item was well organized. It?s an inverted pyramid form. And as it?s a “correct-or-not” question, participants had to find out the detail information to finish the question. Although the key information from the different options was distributed in different part of the text, participants could still get each useful information point in one sentence. And the language style was plain and direct. So participants could judge the options were right or not immediately because what they heard were not question-answer sentences like conversation but the accurate news information, and speakers would not overturn what they said in the beginning so participants would not get confused. However, the main cause led to the most wrongs to this question was the language style of news. There were a lot profound words and expression to participants. For example, the word blizzard did not belong to the TEM-4 vocabulary, but it was the key word of the text. So participants spent too much time on guessing the meaning of this word, and thus missed other key information. Besides, the employment of the complex sentences also led to the participants? mistakes.

To sum up, firstly the main factor led to the deviation of participant s? miscomprehension of conversation was the typical macrostructure and the spontaneousness of conversation text result in the key information was scattered distributed and was mixed with other redundant and invalid information. In consequence, participants were needed to deduce the answer to the questions of conversation. Besides, participants? incorrect consideration of the register and the background context of the conversation text would also lead to the miscomprehension. Secondly, the main factor led to the deviation of participants? misunderstanding of news broadcast was the linguistic factor of the news broadcast. As the news was pre-written in professional terms and complex sentences, so the intensive information was conveyed continuously by the reporter with fast speed. That made it too difficult for participants to understand the news just by listening to the information. What?s more, participants? unfamiliarity with the topic and background knowledge of news broadcast was also a main factor led to the deviation of participants? miscomprehension.

The generic analyses of conversation and news broadcast are about to be made to find out the effect of the characteristics of genres on the participants? performance. And

according to section two, the generic characteristics of one particular genre should be consist of three parts including linguistic features, generic features and register features. Take the second conversation and the fifth news item for example. The second conversation was a communicative event of having phone calls, the social communicative purpose of this conversation was the two speakers wanted to exchange their information. And it determined the question-answer format and the loosely organized structure of the text. Accordingly it was spontaneous, the speakers changed the topic so quickly that the key information points were mixed with other invalid information and the key information was scattered distributed in different part of the text. As for the linguistic characteristic, speakers tended to use daily expressions so it was easier for participants to comprehend. From the above discussion, it was easy to detect that the generic characteristics of conversation were none other than the factors led to participants? deviation of listening comprehension of conversation. A conclusion can be drawn that it is exactly the typical and particular generic characteristics lead to English majors? listening miscomprehension of conversation.

Secondly, the fifth news item was an inverted pyramid news format. It was well organized and the main idea of the news was written in the very beginning, which told readers the basic element of the news. So the participants could easily find specific information for example in the very beginning or at the end of the news. And for the authority, news must be pre-written with professional terms and expressions, and employ complex and coordinate complex sentences to show its accuracy. Therefore, participants could answer the local questions of news better for its particular macrostructure. That was to say, it was the generis characteristics of news led to the result that the local questions of news broadcast were answered better. Besides, the linguistic generic characteristic is just in accord with the main factor led t o the deviation of participants? listening comprehension. Hence we can conclude that it?s the generic characteristics of news led to the deviation of English major?s listening comprehension.

From the above discussion on the research question, we can concl ude that there?s a connection between the factors led to the deviation of English major?s listening comprehension and the generic characteristics of conversation and news broadcast. The particular generic characteristics which consist

of three factors brou ght about the participants? miscomprehension of the listening test. Therefore, different genres of listening input do affect English major?s listening comprehension.

4.2 Implication

As has been proved that different genres of listening input affect English major?s listening comprehension, it is vital that we should get to know more about the definition and the theory of genre. Result in English learners and English teachers?neglect of the knowledge on …genre?, the theory of genre is barely known to English learners. Consequently, to popularize the theory of genre is of great importance in English teaching for English learners can comprehend the text better if they have a proper understanding of the theory of genre. So in English listening classes, the concept of genre and the generic characteristics that consist of the three factors should be emphasized by teachers. That is to say, not only the textual features of the text of genres but also the macrostructure and the register of the text of genres should be taught to English learners.

And to develop English learners?ability to comprehend the text of genre, the following are the suggestions for English teachers to follow.

Firstly, teachers should have a conscious awareness of the theory of genre and to introduce the significance of the theory of genre to English learners in class.

Secondly, certain particular and common examples of different genres should be provided for English learners so that they have a basic understanding of the social communicative purpose and the generic characteristics of the genres.

Thirdly, learners should be examined by identifying several genres to consolidate their generic knowledge.

Fourthly, the learner should build up their vocabulary and native expression day by day to deal with linguistics factors of different genres.

5. Conclusion

This study aimed at exploring the effect of genre of listening input on EFL learners? listening comprehension. And thus by having the listening test of news broadcast and conversation, the result showed that English majors had a better understanding on the overall idea of conversations while they can grasp the detail information of news

broadcast better. Furthermore, from the analyses of the factors led to participants? miscomprehension on the global and local questions of conversation and news broadcast and the generic characteristics of conversation and news broadcast, a conclusion is drawn that it is the typical and particular generic characteristics of conversation and news broadcast lead to Eng lish majors? listening miscomprehension of conversations. That is to say, different genres of listening input do affect English major?s listening comprehension. Besides, the listening miscomprehension of English majors can be reduced if they have a conscious awareness of the significance of genre theory and more knowledge of the generic characteristics of different genres.

英语专业毕业论文范文两篇 英语专业毕业论文范文两篇 篇一 摘要：提高中专学生的听力水平，是教师关注的重点。本文提出影响中专学生英语听力水平的两大因素：知识性障碍与非知识性障碍。笔者在分析这两大因素是如何影响学生听力的基础上，得出提高学生英语听力水平的途径，主要从课堂教学及课外活动进行说明。 关键词： 中专英语教育越来越侧重培养英语综合应用的能力，而英语听力是英语学习的基础，也是英语教学过程中比较薄弱的环节。那么影响听力的因素有哪些呢? 一、影响中专学生听力水平的因素 一般而言，影响中专学生听力的因素很多，对这些因素归类整理，主要分为两类：知识性障碍和非知识性障碍。 (一)知识性障碍包括语言知识性障碍和文化背景障碍。 1.语言障碍包括语音、语速、词汇、语法、语言思维等环节存在问题。 (1)发音不标准导致语音的辨别能力低。学生掌握不好英语标准发音，在听的过程中即使是自己认识的单词，会由于发音不同也难以听辨出来。此外英语中发音相似仅有微小差别的单词很多，于是由于发音不标准很容易使单词混淆。 (2)语速连贯能力弱，导致辨音能力差。英语单词有弱读、重读、连读、爆破、语气、语调的升降等，在连贯的语流中该词的发音会发生变化。学生缺乏辨识这些单词的能力，同时英文正常速度比中文正常速度快10倍，因此学生平时能正确发音的单词也不能正确分辨出来。 (3)词汇量的大小，对词汇的熟练掌握程度会影响听力的效果。大多数单词在字典上有多种意思，单词在不同的环境中词义会不同。学生对单词的掌握不够全面，只是知晓某单词的部分意思，他们听的过程中只能根据自己熟悉的词义去理解，往往与听力内容不相符，会误解了听到的句子意思。 (4)语法的掌握程度影响听力理解。学生对句子的结构，英语中的进行时、完成时等没

英语专业论文范文英语专业论文

英语专业论文范文英语专业论文 高师英语专业毕业论文的规范化教学和指导 摘要：目前，虽然对于专科生写毕业论文没有硬性的规定，但是英语专业学生在思想深度和创新意识方面都与其它文科生产生了一定 的差距，并且在开设的英语写作课中也缺少对毕业论文撰写的规范化教学和指导。应通过对毕业论文前期的写作课教学，以及后期的毕业论文修改指导的方法，从而对现有的写作课程进行一定的创新和改革。 关键词：高师英语专业毕业论文规范化教学方法指导写作教学改革 一、引言 毕业论文是专业集中实践环节的基本形式，旨在提升学生研究素养和创新意识，提高学生分析问题和解决问题的能力。毕业论文教学工作包括毕业论文的指导、答辩、成绩评定和审核验收等环节。毕业论文是高师实践教学环节的一项重要工作，是对毕业生所学专业知识综合运用能力的一次重要测评，也是对高师教育教学质量的一次重要评估。根据高师教学模式的要求，以及高师英语教育专业学生的现状，对毕业论文的撰写需要有规范化的教学和指导。毕业论文的撰写是一种学习、实践、探索和创新相结合的综合教学环节，是对英语专业学生运用所学知识解决本专业实际问题能力的考核，同时也是学校衡量

教育教学质量和办学效益的重要评价内容之一。高师院校学生学会撰写论文并不是为了今后从事专门的研究工作，而是通过撰写毕业论文，综合运用所学专业知识，总结自己在三年大学阶段的学习成果，并对知识进行加工、发展、创造，提高自己发现问题、分析问题、解决问题的能力，为毕业后更好地服务于职业岗位提供一个台阶。 二、高师英语专业毕业论文撰写现状 关于高师院校英语专业撰写毕业论文的教学和指导现状还存在某些不足或问题。王守仁（南京大学）发现：“英语专业不少学生读了4年英语，听、说、读、写能力是有了提高，但与文科其他专业如中文、法律、经济专业的毕业生相比，在思想的深度、知识的结构、分析问题的能力方面，都出现了差距。”（王守仁，2001）缺少思想深度、没有创新意识也反映到英语专业学生的毕业论文上。 而且，目前并不是所有高师院校的所有专业都要求撰写毕业论文或者毕业设计，因此，某些学校对于毕业生毕业论文的撰写在一定程度上缺乏规范性教学和指导，尤其在思想上缺乏专业教师的引导，毕业生对于毕业论文大多概念模糊，或者采用抄袭剽窃手段应付，实际操作能力和创新能力薄弱，对于实习实训及顶岗实习等教学实践中产生的问题不能很好地解决。某些院校未开设毕业论文写作课程，学生也没有接受过这方面的训练。尤其像英语教育专业，本专业之特殊性在于毕业生毕业后，若从事小学英语教师职业，特别需要毕业生能

如何撰写英语专业本科毕业论文

如何撰写英语专业本科毕业论文 一般来讲，选题一下子是很难确定的。比较容易的做法是先选一个总的课题，然后围绕总题找材料阅读、思考，最后确定哪一个方面或哪些方面可以在论文中加以运用和发挥。比如，你对语音很有兴趣。若选“On English Phoics”，题目就太大了，不如选“On Teaching English Phoics in M iddle School”，因为这个题目范围小，直接与你从事的英语课堂语音教学联系起来，比较切合实际，写起来也比较顺手。同时师范院校的毕业生通过中学教学实习多少都有某些实践和体会，写起来就更容易一些。在选题方面，以下几点可供参考： (1) 题目要富有意义，要有严肃性。 论文写作是一项严肃的学术研究。你的分析要有一定深度和创见，其目的是要让读者从中思考并获得新的信息。题目没有意义和严肃性，其论文必然不会有多大学术价值。 (2) 要结合个人特长和研究能力。 比如，你对语言学和词汇学都有兴趣，但你更喜欢词汇学，并且平时阅读和积累这方面的材料也很多，可以说是你的专长; 那你最好选这方面的内容去写。因此，要根据个人的特长和能力选择符合个人实际的题目去写。

(3) 要结合个人手头的资料选题。 论文中所表达的观点和论点一般是以资料研究为基础的。如手头仅有一、两本书或几篇文章，就想从中得出令人信服的结论，这是不可能的; 即使得出结论，这样的论文也是没有多大说服力的，结论是站不住脚的，因为你手头的资料太少，不足为证。 (4) 要注意客观性。 题目的选择要竭力避免个人主观性。有些题目往往反映了作者的个人偏见。比如，这种题目：“Which Was the Creater Writer，Mark Twain or Hemingwei?”就不太合适了,因为你的结论不是“Mark Twain”，就是“Hemingwei”。这样容易产生个人主观臆断。我们不妨改为“A Comparison of Themes in Mark Twain’ s and Hemingwei’s Works”较妥。 (5) 要有利于得出合理的结论。 若选“On English Teach ing inM iddle School”是很难得出比较合理的结论。题目太大，无法深入研究，应设法限制课题范围，找到研究焦点。比如,“On the Teaching of English Phoics”，太

英语专业毕业论文中的引用格式

论文中的引用格式 1.1 间接引用（citations） A.如果引用只涉及一个作家的某本专著或文章，而作家的名字在自己的行 文中没有出现, 将该作家的姓氏和出版的时间用括弧括起来，放在句子结尾，注意该括弧算作句子的一部分，标点符号应放在括弧之后。 例: It has been argued that teachers’ role is to provide the students with optimal condition that can facilitate learning so that students can achieve similar results (Bloom, 1976). B.如果引用所涉及到的作家的名字已经出现在行文中, 只需要在名字后面 加上括弧, 填入出版时间即可。 例：Gould (1988) attributes Darwin’s success to his gift for making the appropriate metaphor. C.如果引用涉及到的作家和著作的出版时间在行文中已出现，那就不再需 要单独的夹注了。 例：In a 1988 article, Gould explores some of Darwin’s most effective metaphors. D.如果引用涉及到的著作是由两位作者合著，则每次引用时都需把两位作 者的姓氏注出来，在夹注中用“&”，在行文中则用“and”连接两个作者。例：The disadvantages of the multiple regression analysis is that it cannot show the complex interrelations between independent variable (Bryman & Cramer, 1990). Bryman and Cramer (ibid.) also pointed out that… E.如涉及到的作者超过两人，少于六人，第一次加夹注时，写出所有作者 的姓氏，以后每次引用，只需写出第一作者的姓氏，其后加上“et al.” 即可。 例：Scientists have isolated a gene connected to circadian rhythms in plants (Millar, Straum, Chory, Chua, & Kay, 1995: 1163). They identified the mutations that activated light-dependent pathways (Millar, et al., 1995: 1165) F.如果引用涉及到的著作由六位以上的作者合著，加注时只需写出第一作 者的姓氏，其后加上“et al.”即可。 例：Naiman et al. （1978）found a similar relationship, although I this case effo rt’on the part of the learners was also associated with instrumental motivation (subsequent citations) (Ellis, 1954: 512).

英语专业本科论文范文 A Brief Analysis of english teaching in senior high school Abstract: Classroom teaching is the main way for students to learn En glish. But in senior high school, a lots of probelms still exsit in t he English teaching especially in the teaching of reading and writing. In this paper, the importance and methods of reading and writing wi ll be further discussed. Key words: reading writing techniques Introduction: Classes should be learner-centered, with meaningful, fu nctional activities, often, classes begin by finding out what the stu dents don’t know. These classes operate on the assumption that there is a great deal of information that students lack and that the teache r and textbooks will impact that information to the students. Teacher s who hold this assumption view students as plants waiting passively to be fed and watered. But I think the students should be regarded as explorers, active learners who bring a great deal to the learning pr ocess and at the same time, draw from their environment as they devel op new understandings. The basic principle will be used in the teachi ng of reading and writing. Section One------ How to teach reading I. Why teach reading There are many reasons why getting students to read English texts is an important p art of the teacher’s job. In the first place, many of them want to be able to read texts in English either for their career s, for study purposes or simply for pleasure. Anything we can do to m ake reading easier for them must be a good idea. Reading texts provide good models for English writing, provide oppo rtunities to study language vocabulary, grammar, punctuation, and the way to construct sentences, paragraphs and texts. Lastly, good readi ng texts can introduce interesting topics, stimulate discussion, exci te imaginative responses and be the springboard for well-rounded, fas cinating lessons. The last but not the least, students must read widely because only a fraction of knowledge about the world can come from other experienc es in their short lives. II. What kind of reading should students do? When the teachers give reading class to students, they should notic e a balance----a balance to be struck between real English on the one hand and the students’ capabilities and interests on the other. The re is some authentic written material which beginner students can und erstand to some degree: menus, timetables, signs and basic instructio

英语专业本科毕业论文范文

英语专业本科毕业论文范文 [摘要]英语专业本科写作是本科生在毕业之前最重要的一项学习任务。文章针对目 前毕业论文中存在的主要问题，如写作基本功欠缺、学术基础和意识薄弱、选题不合适及论文缺乏深度和创新等问题并对其原因进行了探讨，据此提出相应的改进措施，以期提高毕业的质量。 [关键词]毕业论文;问题;改进措施 高校英语专业英语教学大纲认为毕业论文是考察学生综合能力、评估学业成绩的一个重要方式。在2004年开始实行的高等学校外语专业本科教学评估方案中毕业论文的质量 被列为一级指标“学生创新能力”的主要观测点(教育部高等教育司， 2004)。根据英语专业教学大纲的精神，学生的毕业论文写作不仅是对学生学业和专业成绩的一次综合测评，也是对学校设置和培养方案以及教师教学活动的一次考验。毕业论文写作是高等院校英语专业教学计划中一个不可缺少的组成部分和实践性环节，是考查学生综合能力、评价学生成绩的一个重要方式。 一、毕业论文写作的现状 在国内，近年来各高校英语专业对学生毕业论文的撰写比较重视。为了提高论文的质量，加强论文的严谨性和规范性，各高校近年来都出台了一系列政策，如的撰写、中期检查、抽查评估，有些高等院校从三年级开始增设学年论文教学环节等等。英语专业本科毕业论文的质量虽然有一定的进步，但也存在着一些问题。原上海外国语大学校长戴炜栋教授等的研究和调查证实了高等学校英语专业毕业论文质量的滑坡趋势(戴炜栋2007)。学 生在论文实际的撰写过程中，出现了写作基本功、格式规范、选题、论文的深度、外文资料不足的问题。其中的原因是多方面的，例如:在培养中偏重技能训练，轻视知识吸纳的 连贯性，使学生缺乏学术的内涵和深度，缺乏认识能力和思辨能力(文秋芳2006);在第八 学期才开始毕业论文的写作，不仅毕业生在短时间内无从选题，而且导致论文质量下降。这种现象对本科教学带来的负面影响应引起各高校英语专业的高度关注。 二、毕业论文写作存在的主要问题 目前高校毕业论文存在不少问题，如语言技能较弱，查阅文献资料的能力比较差，不知道怎样确立自己的观点等等，但以下几个方面的问题尤为明显:第一，写作基本功欠缺。英语专业毕业论文中一个显著的问题就是学生的写作能力较差，反映出学生英语语言能力欠缺。例如:论文结构不严谨、松散;一篇论文有多个中心论点;章节之间缺乏连贯性;语法、拼写错误多;学生随意使用非正式文体，书面语和口语混用的现象比比皆是。
