项目摘要

This study investigated how the English(L2) writing ability of 12 Japanese(L1) students majoring in British and American studies developed over their four-year university life. Over the observation period, the focus shifted from the effects of motivation on the participants' L2 writing development to relational developments among relevant cognitive, affective, and environmental variables. The study thus examined changes in the interrelationships linking L2 proficiency, L1 writing ability and motivation, and perceptions of L1/L2 writing as well as the participants' sociocultural experiences, including their study-abroad(SA) experiences. The results revealed that :(1) on average the participants' L2 writing ability did not significantly improve over the four years while their L1 writing ability significantly deteriorated ;(2) the length of their SA experiences significantly correlated with improvements in their L2 proficiency but not in their L1 or L2 writing ability ;(3) gains in their L2 writing ability significantly correlated with gains in their L2 proficiency ;(4) the participants' L1 and L2 writing ability were significantly correlated throughout the four years ; and(5) although the participants' perceptions of "good L2 writing" changed over the four years, their perceptions of L1 writing did not influence their L2 writing.

本研究调查了12名英美研究专业的日本学生在四年的大学生活中英语写作能力的发展。在观察期内，重点从动机对参与者的二语写作发展的影响转移到相关的认知，情感和环境变量之间的关系发展。因此，本研究探讨的变化的相互关系连接的L2水平，L1写作能力和动机，L1/L2写作的看法，以及参与者的社会文化经验，包括他们的留学（SA）的经验。结果表明：（1）在四年的学习中，二语写作能力没有显著提高，而一语写作能力显著下降;（2）二语写作能力的提高与二语写作能力的提高显著相关，但与一语或二语写作能力的提高无关;（3）二语写作能力的提高与二语写作能力的提高显著相关;（4）在四年的时间里，受试者的母语和二语写作能力显著相关;（5）尽管受试者对“好的二语写作”的看法在四年中发生了变化，但他们对母语写作的看法并没有影响他们的二语写作。
