畢業(yè)論文及研究論文寫作

前言

　　北京大學出版社2008年最新引進了一套國外暢銷的《英語寫作原版影印系列叢書》，并邀請我為這套叢書寫序，談談我對英語寫作教學與研究的一些認識。我仔細翻閱后，覺得這套書特色十分鮮明，其中有幾本再版達十次以上，經久不衰，非常樂意在此推薦給我國的廣大讀者。　　在經濟全球化和網(wǎng)絡高度發(fā)達的今天，學好英語已變得十分重要，英語口頭與書面語的表達能力已逐漸成為當今的核心競爭力之一，從第二語言學習的社會文化觀看，能否流利地運用外語進行口頭或書面交流已直接關系到學生的就業(yè)和未來發(fā)展。中國的英語寫作教學有許多問題需要深入探討，引進國外優(yōu)秀的英語寫作教學與研究成果，對于更新我國的英語寫作教學觀念和方法，改革當前的英語寫作教學具有重要意義?！　∫?、國內外二語寫作研究概覽　　第二語言寫作的教學與研究在國際上一直受到重視，國外的寫作教學研究十分活躍，以美國為例，美國普度（PURDUE）大學每年定期召開二語寫作學術研討會，2008年6月6-7日召開的第7屆寫作年會的主題是：外語寫作教學：原理與實踐。二語寫作擁有自己的研究隊伍、研究機構、學術期刊。概括起來，國際二語寫作研究集中在四個領域：（1）寫作過程研究，重點關注認知操作模型、寫作構思策略、學習者的個體差異以及寫作過程的階段性變化；（2）寫作結果研究，采用文本分析、錯誤分析、對比分析、對比修辭分析、語料分析等方法；（3）寫作社會文化因素研究，影響寫作的社會結構、語域知識、動機和需求等因素；（4）寫作教學研究，如教學過程、學習策略、語言水平發(fā)展、課堂教學環(huán)節(jié)、寫作測試、網(wǎng)絡寫作課件開發(fā)等。國際二語寫作研究近期關注四個熱點：（1）批評對比修辭學，（2）母語寫作遷移，（3）寫作教師教育，（4）計算機輔助寫作與研究。

內容概要

本書有廣度又有深度，把看似難以完成的論文寫作過程分解成不同的步驟和階段，并提供了詳實的例證或樣章供讀者參考。    本書章節(jié)排列與學位論文的框架大致相同，對論文的整個寫作過程都具有指導作用。每章的結構也與學位論文章節(jié)大致相同，脈絡清晰，便于讀者查尋及跳讀。        本書關注讀者的切身感受，采用談心式、要點式敘述方式，讀起來有身臨其境的感覺，對初步涉獵學術研究的學生或有關人員有較大幫助作用。    每章最后都附有“小測驗”或核對清單，簡單實用，對論文的修改尤具參考價值。

章節(jié)摘錄

　　SUMMARY OF PROBLEMS BEGARDING　　EATING DISORDER RESEARCH WITH AFBICAN AMERICANS As stated throughout this chapter, a fundamental problem in the eating disorder field is that too much eating disorder research focuses on middle- to upper- class Caucasian women and too little research examines African American womens unique experiences （Wang sgaard Thompson, 1992）. As a result, stereotypes in mental health lead to racism in assessment and treatment. Many medical and mental health professionals do not assess for eating disorders in their African American clientele while they more readily recognize eating disorder symptom logy in Caucasian women. Treatment may be delayed, and thus only the most serious cases are seen. Therefore, most case studies on African Americans reflect an inherent treatment bias （Crago et al., 1996）.　　While three studies with prevalence rates for DSM-1V eating disorders and symptoms have been conducted with Caucasian college samples （Brock, 1999; Mintz et al., 1997; Mulholland, 1996）, prevalence rates of DSM-IV eating disorders and symptoms for African Americans are unstudied. Two studies indicate that African American women at predominantly Caucasian colleges and universities may exhibit greater eating disorder symptom logy than African American women at predominantly Black colleges and universities （Gray et al., 1987; Williams, 1994）. These studies, supported by Newcombs （1943） work on reference groups, provide support for conducting a prevalence study at a predominantly Caucasian university. Indeed, prevalence rates for DSM-IV eating disorders （anorexia, bulimia, and EDNOS） and symptoms （no bona fide disorder but eating disorder symptoms） would be. a contribution to the field. It is possible that EDNOS, which are subclinical syndromes, may more accurately describe African American womens disordered eating than anorexia or bulimia.　　In addition, this chapter concluded that only one eating disorder assessment, the Q-EDD, is based on DSM-IV criteria and captures the range of DSM-IV eating disorders. The Q-EDD differentiates eating disordered from non-eating disordered from symptomatic for asymptomatic participants. All current disorder assessment inventories have been developed on Caucasian women, and only one, the EDI-2, has adequate psychometric properties with a middle-aged African American sample. No instruments psychometric properties have been examined with exclusively African American college women. Given the particular strengths of the Q-EDD over other inventories, it is the clear choice for psychometric examination with African American college women, Clearly there is a fundamental need in the field for the psychometric properties of inventories to be examined with African American women.
