Program of College Students’ Language Attitudes Research

Yu Liu

This study investigated the language attitudes of undergraduates, masters and doctoral students at Shanghai International Studies University (SISU) regarding British English, American English, Chinese English and Mandarin through a questionnaire, interview and verbal guise technique. This study included 400 students, including 260 undergraduates, 120 master’s students, and 20 doctoral students. The questionnaire and interview refer to Chen’s language attitudes of Chinese in Singapore and its impact on language ability and language use and measures students’ language attitudes regarding British English, American English, Chinese English, and Mandarin using 10 scales of language characteristics. The verbal guise technique refers to the work by Gao. The material included four language variants, British English, American English, Chinese English, and Mandarin. This study employed quantitative statistics and analyzed the emotional identity, social status, and utility of the questionnaire results using Excel. The factor analysis used SPSS statistical software and combined 12 evaluation items for undergraduate, master’s degree and doctoral students. We concluded that the questionnaire, interview, and matching guise technique could research language variant attitudes from the cognitive, emotional, and behavioral aspects, respectively. The results revealed that students with different degrees (undergraduate, master’s and doctoral) at SISU display similarities and differences in their views of different languages or language variants.

Yu Liu

Bu çalışmada Şanghay Uluslararası Çalışmalar Üniversitesi›ndeki (SISU) lisans, yüksek lisans ve doktora öğrencilerinin İngiliz İngilizcesi, Amerikan İngilizcesi, Çin İngilizcesi ve Mandarin’e ilişkin dil tutumları anket, görüşme ve sözlü kayıt tekniği kullanılarak incelenmiştir. Bu çalışmaya 260 lisans, 120 yüksek lisans ve 20 doktora öğrencisi olmak üzere 400 öğrenci katılmıştır. Anket ve röportaj, Chen’in Singapur’daki Çince dil tutumlarına, bunun dil kullanımı üzerindeki etkisine atıfta bulunmuştur ve on dil özelliği ölçeğini kullanarak öğrencilerin İngiliz İngilizcesi, Amerikan İngilizcesi, Çin İngilizcesi ve Mandarin ile ilgili tutumlarını ölçmüştür. Sözlü kayıt tekniği Gao’nun çalışmasına atıfta bulunmuştur. Materyal dört dil çeşidini içermiştir. Bu diller; İngiliz İngilizcesi, Amerikan İngilizcesi, Çin İngilizcesi ve Mandarin’dir. Bu çalışmada nicel istatistikler kullanılmıştır ve excel kullanılarak anket sonuçlarında duygusal kimlik, sosyal durum ve faydası analiz edilmiştir. Faktör analizi, SPSS istatistik yazılımını ve lisans, yüksek lisans ve doktora öğrencileri için 12 değerlendirme maddesini bir araya getirmiştir. Ankette görüşme ve eşleştirme tekniğinin sırasıyla bilişsel, duygusal ve davranışsal yönlerden dil değişkeni tutumlarını araştırabileceği sonucuna varılmıştır. Sonuçlar, SISU’da farklı derecelere (lisans, yüksek lisans ve doktora) sahip öğrencilerin farklı dillere veya dil çeşitlerine ilişkin görüşlerinde benzerlikler ve farklılıklar sergilediklerini ortaya koymuştur.
