Abstract

A large mass of research has reported the significance and power of positive psychology (PP) constructs in second/foreign language (L2) education. As an offshoot of PP, altruistic teaching, which highlights teaching without self-focus, has recently initiated its way into L2 research territory. However, the way altruistic teaching influences L2 students’ academic literacy skills, such as abstract writing, has been left uncharted to date. To bridge this gap, the present study used an experimental design to investigate the contribution of altruistic teaching to 163 university students’ English abstract writing required in research article (RA)s. The results of t-test and ANOVA indicated a statistically significant difference between the learners’ RA abstract writing in the control and experimental groups in both the short and long run in light of altruistic teaching. The study discusses the results and presents the implications of altruistic teaching for L2 research and practice.

利他主义教学对 L2 学习者英语研究文章摘要写作影响的干预研究

大量研究表明，积极心理学（PP）理论在第二语言/外语（L2）教育中具有重要意义和作用。作为积极心理学的一个分支，利他主义教学（强调不以自我为中心的教学）最近开始进入第二语言研究领域。然而，利他主义教学如何影响 L2 学生的学术素养技能（如摘要写作），至今仍是一个未知数。为弥补这一空白，本研究采用实验设计，探讨利他主义教学对 163 名大学生研究文章（RA）中所需英语摘要写作的贡献。t检验和方差分析的结果表明，在利他教学的影响下，对照组和实验组学习者的研究文章（RA）摘要写作在短期和长期内均存在显著差异。本研究对结果进行了讨论，并提出了利他教学对 L2 研究和实践的启示。

期刊介绍： Applied Linguistics publishes research into language with relevance to real-world problems. The journal is keen to help make connections between fields, theories, research methods, and scholarly discourses, and welcomes contributions which critically reflect on current practices in applied linguistic research. It promotes scholarly and scientific discussion of issues that unite or divide scholars in applied linguistics. It is less interested in the ad hoc solution of particular problems and more interested in the handling of problems in a principled way by reference to theoretical studies.
