二语坚毅与二语交际意愿的相关性研究——以非英语专业本科生为例

A Study on the Correlation between L2 Grit and L2 Willingness to Communicate—A Case Study of Non-English Major Undergraduates

摘要: 国内高校普遍存在大学生英语课堂主动表达意愿薄弱的现实难题，本文旨在分析二语坚毅人格特质对理工科非英专学生口语交际主动性的作用机制。研究选取兰州地区一所工科院校752名大一非英语专业新生作为调研对象，采用问卷量化采集数据。描述统计结果显示，受访学生的二语坚毅水平、二语主动交际意愿整体均处于中等区间；皮尔逊相关性检验证明两项变量存在显著正向关联。研究发现，二语坚毅水平更高的学习者往往表现出更高的二语交际意愿。本研究结果可为高校公共英语课堂培养学生口语表达主动性提供数据支撑与可落地教学改进思路。

Abstract: Against the backdrop that Chinese university students seldom take the initiative to speak English in class, this paper explores how L2 grit shapes non-English majors’ readiness to communicate in a second language. Questionnaires were distributed to 752 first-year undergraduates majoring in engineering at Lanzhou university. Descriptive statistical analysis reveals that participants’ L2 grit and L2 willingness to communicate both register at a moderate level. Pearson correlation test demonstrates a prominent positive link between the two constructs. The study finds that learners with higher L2 grit tend to exhibit greater L2 willingness to communicate. The findings of this study can provide empirical support and practical teaching implications for developing students’ initiative in oral expression in college‑level public English classrooms.
