商品描述

This book presents an interdisciplinary approach to understanding the learning and listening skills of a foreign language from the perspectives of cognitive load theory and second language acquisition theories. It explores when and how foreign language listening skills could be curiously improved more effectively by reading than by listening. The results of randomized controlled experiments in the book demonstrate an expertise reversal effect, which calls teachers to adjust instructional approaches to accommodate learners' expertise level. The book expands the existing language comprehension frameworks by including working memory load as a crucial factor in written or verbal information processing. It also develops cognitive load theory by applying it in a less well-structured subject area--foreign language learning.

The book is of interest to postgraduate teachers and learners of a foreign language, instructional designers, educational policy makers, and academic researchers in the fields of learning sciences, curriculum and pedagogy, educational psychology, cognitive load theory, second language acquisition, and foreign language teaching and learning.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

本書提出了一種跨學科的方法,從認知負荷理論和第二語言習得理論的角度來理解外語的學習和聆聽技能。它探討了外語聆聽技能在何時以及如何通過閱讀比聆聽更有效地得到改善。書中的隨機對照實驗結果顯示了專業知識逆轉效應,這促使教師調整教學方法以適應學習者的專業知識水平。本書擴展了現有的語言理解框架,將工作記憶負荷納入書面或口頭信息處理的關鍵因素。它還通過將認知負荷理論應用於一個結構不太完善的主題領域——外語學習,來發展該理論。

本書對於外語的研究生教師和學習者、教學設計師、教育政策制定者,以及學習科學、課程與教學法、教育心理學、認知負荷理論、第二語言習得和外語教學與學習等領域的學術研究者均具有興趣。
