长期以来,民间智慧认为,学习外语的最佳方法是让自己沉浸在目标语言的语言和文化中。正如Freed(1993)所指出的,这一信念反映在许多大学赞助的海外语言学习项目中,并得到了一些关于海外学习对第二语言能力影响的最新研究的支持。它也与第二语言发展研究中流行的理论结构相一致,如学习和习得之间的区别(Krashen 1988)和输入与互动之间的区别(参见第二语言发展研究)。但是,正如弗里德(Freed,1990,1995)所指出的,关于国外的经验,许多问题,无论是理论上的还是实践上的,都没有得到解答。本文件试图解决其中一些问题。它报告了一项研究,比较了实验强化课程,在日本教的初学者在日本与相同的课程在美国教的研究结果有影响,出国留学,密集的初级课程,第二语言习得的理论。
Longstanding folk wisdom has it that the best way to learn a foreign language is to immerse oneself in the language and culture of the target language. As Freed (1993) points out, this belief is reflected in the numerous universitysponsored overseas language study programs, and is supported by some recent research on the effects of study abroad on second language proficiency. It is also compatible with such popular theoretical constructs in second language development research as the distinction between learning and acquisition (Krashen 1988) and between input and interaction (cf. Long 1981).But as Freed (1990, 1995) has also pointed out, many questions, both theoretical and practical, remain unanswered about the overseas experience. The current paper attempts to address some of those questions. It reports on a study which compared an experimental intensive course in Japanese for beginners taught in Japan with the same course taught in the US The findings have implications for study abroad, for intensive beginning level courses, and for theories of second language acquisition.
