论文题目：有效使用网络教学对特殊用途英语学术写作技巧影响的行动研究
摘要：近年来,有关学术能力的研究受到了广泛关注。在学术写作教学中如何建立“教学实用框架”是目前亟需解决的问题。本研究旨在将计算机辅助语言学习环境下的在线教学应用于学术写作课程,以有效改善教学框架。本研究采用行动研究的方法,探讨了有效使用在线教学对提高大学生学术写作技巧的效果。本行动研究旨在通过实施基于任务的在线教学和培养合作学习的方法,促进以学生为中心的学习环境。本研究试图探究在线学术写作教学对学生学术写作能力的影响,特别是在他们的学习动机,学习自主性和学术写作水平方面的影响。本行动研究在东北某大学进行。研究时间为2019-2020学年春季学期,为期16周。研究对象是来自两个不同专业的共191名学生。研究方法包括问卷调查、访谈、测试、研究日志、学生学习日记和课堂观察。采用定性和定量分析方法对收集到的数据进行分析,定量数据采用spss19.0系统进行分析。行动研究的结果表明,通过在线学术写作教学,学生学习学术写作的动机明显增强,在线任务型教学能够显著地提高学生的学习自主性。此外,随着教学和练习过程的推进,学生的学术写作水平极大程度地上升。最后,本文对本研究的启示和建议进行了探讨,以期能在今后的二语习得研究中为教师的指导和学生的学习提供帮助。
