摘要语言学习者的第一语言是双语教师和学习者可以带到课堂上促进第二语言习得的丰富的语言知识来源。虽然先前的研究表明,L1可以为学习者提供认知,教学和心理上的好处,它执行什么功能,以及它如何支持语言学习还没有被彻底探讨。本研究旨在通过分析澳大利亚17名成年移民的初级英语课堂师生和生生的课堂互动来探讨母语使用的不同功能。数据来源于课堂录音、课堂观察和对双语教师的两次访谈。这项研究提供了一个精细的分类L1功能,通过语音数据,而不是教师的自我报告。研究结果表明,母语被教师频繁地用于教学目的,课堂环境控制和社会关系的建立。特别是,L1主要用于引出答案,给出课堂指示和解释意义,学习者使用它来提问,当他们缺乏目标语言的必要技能时给出回答,并提供同伴帮助。本研究对成人初学者的双语支持和学习材料设计具有一定的启示。
ABSTRACT The first language (L1) of language learners is a rich source of language knowledge that bilingual teachers and learners can bring to classrooms to facilitate second-language (L2) acquisition. While previous research suggests that L1 can provide learners with cognitive, pedagogical, and psychological benefits, what functions that it performs and how it supports language learning has not been thoroughly explored. This study aims to investigate different functions of L1 use in a beginner English class for 17 adult migrants in Australia through analysing teacher–students and students–students classroom interactions. Data were collected from lesson recordings, classroom observations and two interviews with the English–Chinese bilingual teacher. This study provides a refined categorisation of L1 functions through speech data rather than teacher’s self-reports. Results show that the L1 was frequently used by the teacher for pedagogical purposes, classroom environment control and social relationship building. In particular, the L1 was mainly used for eliciting answers, giving classroom instructions and explaining meanings, and it was employed by learners to ask questions, give responses when they lacked the necessary skills in the target language, and to offer peer assistance. This study has implications for bilingual language support and learning materials design for beginner adult learners.
