摘要

本研究探讨了泰国EFL大学生自我学习Coxhead学术词汇表(AWL)(Coxhead,2000)对其学术交际技能的益处,以及是否应将其纳入学术教科书。该研究采用了混合方法设计。使用调查问卷和半结构化访谈来收集数据。结果显示,大多数参与者对自己学习Coxhead的AWL持积极态度。他们一致认为,Coxhead的AWL帮助他们提高了接受能力和富有成效的学术交流技能。参与者还承认,将Coxhead的AWL纳入学术教科书可能会在各种方面帮助EFL大学学习者,特别是提高他们的学术阅读、听力、写作和口语能力。总之,尽管本研究没有提供AWL知识如何有助于提高学生的学术交际技能的实证证据,但本研究为自我访问情境提供了一些实用的指导,为EFL大学生如何看待AWL提供了理论基础,并为未来的研究提供了新的方向。关键词:Coxhead(2000)AWL,自主学习者,学术词汇,接受和生产技能,泰国EFL

Investigating the Significance of Coxhead’s Academic Word List for Self-Access Learners
The present study explored Thai EFL university students’ perceived benefits of self-learning Coxhead’s Academic Word List (AWL) (Coxhead, 2000) on their academic communicative skills and whether or not it should be incorporated into academic textbooks. The study employed a mixed-method design. A survey questionnaire and semi-structured interviews were used to collect the data. The result revealed that the majority of the participants held positive attitudes toward learning Coxhead’s AWL on their own. They agreed that Coxhead’s AWL helped them to enhance their receptive and productive academic communicative skills. Participants also acknowledged that incorporating Coxhead’s AWL into the academic textbook might help EFL university learners in various ways, particularly to improve their academic reading, listening, writing, and speaking abilities. In conclusion, although this study provides no empirical evidence of how knowledge of AWL helps improve students’ academic communicative skills, the study provides some practical guidelines for self-access contexts, a theoretical basis on how AWL is viewed by EFL university students along with a new direction to future research. Keywords: Coxhead’s (2000) AWL, self-access learners, academic words, receptive and productive skills, Thai EFL
