Abstract Along with the rapid development of globalization, there is an increasingly necessity of acquiring English as an indispensable tool of communication. Meanwhile, with the research on second language acquisition (SLA), as well as the implementation of human-oriented education, people tend to pay more attention to personalized development. Hence, the emphasis of today’s education has gradually been shifted from “teaching” to “learning”, and more and more importance has been attached to the impacts of learner’s inpidual differences in the process of language acquisition. Learning style, as a significant cognitive factor which affects second or foreign language learning in one way or another attracts much attention in the field of SLA research in the recent decades. Through a survey on English teaching styles and learning styles, this paper argues that by matching between English teaching styles and learning styles it has some positive impacts on student’s English achievements. 47810

摘要随着全球化进程的快速发展,英语越来越成为一项必不可少的沟通工具。于此同时针对第二语言习得(SLA)和实现以人为本教育理念的深入研究,人们开始越来越关注个性化的发展。因此,今天的教育重心已经逐渐从“教”转移到“学”上面,并且学生的个体差异在语言习得的过程越来越受到关注。学习风格作为一个重要的认知方式或多或少影响着英语语言学习,故而在过去十多年在SLA研究领域有广泛关注。通过对英语教学风格和学习风格的调查,本文认为英语教学风格和学习风格之间的匹配对学生的英语成绩有着积极的影响。
本文分为五个部分,第一部分首先介绍了大概的研究背景和意义。第二部分回顾了教学风格和学习风格的概念性定义和分类,同时也指出了目前研究的相关理论基础。第三部分说明了本文的研究方法、研究目的、研究工具和研究过程。第四部分分析了从调查问卷得出的结果并对研究结果进行解读后得出第五部结论:匹配的教学风格与学习风格对学生的英语成绩有着积极的影响。
