‘浙江省中外英语教师TEFL in China国际研讨会’论文，2003/4/11-13（杭州） 数据驱动学习与英语写作教学中的语域知识传授 —基于CLEC语料库中because的个案研究 黄大网、南佐民、杨新亮 （宁波大学外语学院ESP语料库实验室，浙江 宁波 315211） 提要：语域知识的习得是学生写作能力发展过程中的一大难点，本文通过对because的个案研究及其教学流程探讨如何结合数据驱动学习模式在作文课堂教学中加以有效传授语域知识。because是显性因果关系标记之一，其口语用法经常体现出话语标记的特点；中国学生受发展性因素和汉语负迁移的影响，过分依赖于because的运用且表现出明显的口语化现象与偏离学术语篇because运用的常规。通过引导学生索引相关语料库并分析其语料，鼓励他们主动‘发现’语言规则，最终提高语言习得效果。 关键词：because、语域、数据驱动学习、写作 Data-Driven Learning and the Teaching of Register Knowledge in English Composition Pedagogy — A CLEC-Based Case Study of because HUANG Da-wang; NAN Zuo-min; YANG Xinliang (Lab of ESP Corpus in Faculty of Foreign Languages, Ningbo University, Ningbo, Zhejiang 315211) Abstract: The learning of register knowledge has always been an obstacle in the development of students’ writing ability. This paper addresses the utilization of data-driven learning in the efficient instruction of register knowledge in English composition pedagogy via a case study of because. As an overt causal marker in English, ‘because’ often displays characteristics of discourse marker when used in colloquial situations; Chinese learners tend to have an overuse of ‘because’ in their writing, among which colloquialism stands out and generic features of academic writing see frequent violation, attributed to developmental errors and the negative transfer of the mother tongue. Guidance is provided to help students retrieve concordancing lines from appropriate corpora, discover facts about the language from authentic examples, and consequently enhance their learning Key words: because; register, data-driven learning (DDL); writing 数据驱动学习模式（Data-driven learning，DDL） 数据驱动学习的基本理念是鼓励学生积极主动（act as ‘language detectives’），自己从真实语料中去发现语言事实（Johns 1991, 1997, cf. Hunston 2002: 170-97）。数据驱动学习模式在教学中一般有两种做法，但都是与语料库技术紧密相关的：1）使用‘原始语料’（a raw corpus），师生共同分析语料、且事先并不清楚最终将要发现的结果；2）教师事先精心挑选（也可以稍加编辑）索引语料来展示目标语言特点（the target language feature）。第一种方法能够很大程度地激发学生的学习动机，但教师对教学过程缺乏控制；第二种方法可将相关材料打印出来分发给全班同学，但学生很可能缺少动机主动检索或习得目标信
