动态图像和声音呈现顺序对听力的影响

动态图像辅助实验的主要目的是了解其在促进初学者二语听力理解方面的作用。实验主要考察受试在四种不同听力条件下对同一篇听力材料内容的理解和材料中所包含重点词汇的习得。听力任务完成后的即期测试显示,动态图像辅助比没有动态图像辅助的听力条件更有利于初学者对听力材料内容的理解和重点词汇的习得。在有动态图像辅助的三个试验组中,图像先于声音的听力条件最有利于促进初学者对听力材料内容的理解。

Effects of Dynamic Visual Cues and Visual Timing on Chinese EFL Beginners' Listening Comprehension

This study investigates,within the theoretical frameworks of Dual Coding Theory and the Schemata Theory,the effect of dynamic visual cues and visual timing on Chinese EFL beginners' listening comprehension. The findings show that accompanying auditory message with dynamic visual images as stimulus cues can improve Chinese EFL beginners' performance in listening recall and vocabulary acquisition.The main factor that caused the improved pedormance was because information received by participants from the three experimental groups is coded both verbally and visually.It was also discovered that priming and feedback presentation technique of visual stim- ulus cues can better enhance Chinese EFL beginners' listening recall than the simultaneous presentation technique because in the former two conditions,learners have more time to process information thus result in better recall. These findings suggest that supplying auditory message with dynamic visuals can,to some extent,facilitate Chinese EFL beginners' listening comprehension.
