摘要

本研究探讨了兴趣、家庭环境与香港中国幼儿英语作为第二语言/外语的发展之间的关系。研究对 274 名香港幼儿园学生的英语学习兴趣和英语语言技能(即表达词汇和接受词汇)进行了评估。他们的父母填写了调查问卷,内容包括家庭社会经济状况、父母的观念和家庭学习环境。结果表明:(1) 在控制了儿童的性别、非语言智力和幼儿园类型之后,兴趣与儿童的英语语言能力有关;(2) 家长对子女英语能力的信念和自我效能感与儿童学习英语的兴趣有关;(3) 兴趣对儿童在家庭环境中的英语语言能力有独特的促进作用。本研究结果提供了儿童在其第二语言/外语发展中发挥积极作用的证据,并强调了父母的信念对儿童英语学习兴趣的重要影响。

Interest, home environment, and young Chinese children's development of English as a second/foreign language.

The current study examined the relationship between interest, the home environment, and young Chinese children's development of English as a second/foreign language in Hong Kong. Two hundred and seventy-four Hong Kong kindergartners were assessed on their interest in learning English and their English language skills (i.e., expressive and receptive vocabulary). Their parents completed questionnaires eliciting family socio-economic status, parental beliefs, and home learning environment. The results indicated that (1) interest was related to children's English language abilities after controlling for children's gender, non-verbal intelligence, and kindergarten type; (2) parents' beliefs about their child's English ability and self-efficacy were related to children's interest in learning English; and (3) interest uniquely contributed to children's English language ability in the home environment. The present findings provide evidence of the active role that children play in their second/foreign language development and highlight the significant influence of parental beliefs on children's interest in learning English.

期刊介绍: A key publication in the field, Journal of Child Language publishes articles on all aspects of the scientific study of language behaviour in children, the principles which underlie it, and the theories which may account for it. The international range of authors and breadth of coverage allow the journal to forge links between many different areas of research including psychology, linguistics, cognitive science and anthropology. This interdisciplinary approach spans a wide range of interests: phonology, phonetics, morphology, syntax, vocabulary, semantics, pragmatics, sociolinguistics, or any other recognised facet of language study.
