本文从外语课堂研究的性质和目的出发,首先历史性地回顾了20世纪不同年代外语课堂研究的特点,如60年代是方法比较,70年代是个性化教学,80年代是个体学习者因素,90年代是课堂过程;接着讨论了进入21世纪以来的研究热点,如课堂互动和重形式教学;然后介绍了外语课堂实证研究的四种主要方法,即描述性、实验性、民族志和相关性研究。最后,从宏观和微观两个层面对未来外语课堂研究提出展望,以期为广大研究人员提供参考。
From the nature and purpose of foreign language classroom research, this paper first retrospectively reviews the characteristics of foreign language classroom research, namely the method comparison research in the 1960s, the individualized teaching research in the 1970s, the individual learner factor research in the 1980s, and the classroom process research in the 1990s. It then discusses the research foci since the 21st century, such as the classroom interaction and focus-on-form teaching and introduces four main methods of foreign language classroom empirical research including the descriptive research, the experimental research, the ethnographic research, and the correlational research. Finally, it proposes prospects for the future foreign language classroom research from the macro and micro levels in order to provide a reference for researchers.
