英語優異學習者使用語料庫語匯索引修改寫作錯誤之知覺與態度研究

EFL Advanced Learners’Perception and Attitude Toward Concordance Use for Revising Writing Errors

近來有許多研究在探討語料庫的重要語匯索引對第二語言寫作之幫助，雖然有研究顯示重要語匯索引對於學習者寫作過程有幫助，但學生使用的知覺跟態度會影響到重要語匯索引對寫作錯誤修訂的成效。因此，本研究訪談了五位英語教學研究所碩士班學生，探討程度優異英語學習者對於使用重要語匯索引來修改寫作上錯誤的知覺跟態度，以及造成此態度的背後成因。研究顯示重要語匯索引對於他們英語寫作上錯誤修正有助益，但也有使用的缺點和搜尋上的困難，因此程度優異英語學習者對於使用重要語匯索引也存在著些微負面的態度。未來語言寫作老師可以調整重要語匯索引使用上的缺點，教導學生使用索引的技巧，讓重要語匯索引使用在英語寫作上能收到最大的效益。

Recently, there has been considerable interest in the use of web con-cordancer for L2 writing. Although the use of concordancer might be beneficial for learners’writing process, learners’perceptions and attitudes toward concordancer use can influence the effectiveness of concordance feedbacks on error revisions. The purpose of this study was to investigate EFL advanced learners’perceptions and attitudes toward concordance feedback for writing revision and underlying reasons that influence learners’attitudes. The interview was administered to 5 participants studying in Master’s level of Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages. The results of this study showed that advanced learners perceived concor-dancer use is beneficial for writing error revisions. However, some weak-nesses and difficulties of the concordancer search for writing error revisions were indicated. Moreover, the results of the interview also indicated that advanced learners had slightly negative attitude toward concordance feedback for error revisions. L2 writing teachers can contemplate learners’perception, adjust the weakness of concordance use and instruct the skills of the concordancer use to achieve the greatest effectiveness of con-cordance feedback for writing revisions.
