Abstract
基於工作記憶對語言學習產生的重大影響, 近年來陸續有認知心理學與二語習得等領域的學者提出"將工作記憶作為外語學能構成要素"的理論構思.本文綜述此構思的理論設想, 並簡要介紹近年圍繞該理論構思所展開的主要相關實證研究.本文指出, 將工作記憶作為語言學能構成要素之一來進行研究, 可以有效結合二語習得研究發展多年的成果, 從理論與實踐兩個層面來系統界定工作記憶對二語習得以及二語習得研究發展多年的成果, 從理論與實踐兩個層面來系統界定工作記憶對二語習得以及二語習得研究發展多年的成果, 從而在一定程度上彌補了以往外語學能研究的不足, 並將推動外語學能理論研究的發展.
Drawing on previous research findings about the important role of working memory in language learning, some researchers in the fields of cognitive psychology and second language acquisition have recently subscribed to the proposal of "working memory as foreign language aptitude". The present paper attempts to present a comprehensive and critical review of the theoretical foundations and empirical studies in favor of this proposal. The author argues that the proposal enables us to go beyond the limited correlational nature of previous aptitude studies and to specify the role of working memory in L2 acquisition processes and L2 development, which will add great momentum to future foreign language aptitude research.
