非母语语言习惯的迁移作用探析

充分利用正迁移,尽量避免负迁移是语言教学者追求的目标之一。要做到这一点,教师至少应对学生的母语和目的语有充分的认识。这可能还不够,因为在目的语习得过程中,不仅学生的母语会发生迁移,非母语的其他语言习惯同样可能产生影响。以往对迁移现象的研究大都不考虑学生已掌握的非母语语言习惯对目的语习得的影响,这些研究很可能得出不实的结论,妨碍对语言迁移现象的正确认识。

Study on Non-Native Language Habit Transfer

Language teachers are always trying to make full use of positive transfer of native language, and avoid the negative one. To achieve this, they are supposed to know the students＂ native language quite well. Maybe, that is not enough because during the process of language acquisition, not only the native language habit could transfer but also the non-native language habit transfer often occurs. A research only based on native language transfer, regardless of the transfer of non-native languages could be misleading.
