摘　　要： 词汇短语是特殊用途英语(ESP)领域里,培养学术英语读写能力的传统体裁教学法最看重的语言特征之一。本文考察的词汇短语包括两类:一类是一般型,如词汇研究和语言学研究中的词串(lexical bundles),词丛(lexical clusters),惯用语串(formulaic sequences);另一类是具体型,即在学术文章的具体写作步骤中使用的词汇短语,二者对学生建构学术文本均有必要。然而,以前对这两类词汇短语的相关研究往往有重此轻彼的倾向,而且缺乏体裁法框架下对学生习得上述两类短语词汇的探究。本文是两个词汇短语习得过程的案例研究报告,也是在华南地区高等院校进行的学术写作教学项目的组成部分。该研究针对不同英语水平的学习者进行为时一个学期的学术英语体裁法写作教学。通过对学生的重写、体裁分析作业、每周访谈以及学习记录的分析,发现她们的词汇短语意识有了明显提高,并且在写作训练过程中已经运用了很多的词汇短语。此外在重写任务中还发现,学生在使用一般型和具体型词汇短语时,就习得来源、感知的有用性、短语的使用数量以及用法的合适性等方面而言,呈现出不同的模式。本研究将对高等院校学术性词汇短语的教与学提供有益的启示。 In the ESP （English for Specific Purposes） tradition of genre-based approaches to academic literacy, one of the most noteworthy language features lies in lexical phrases. The lexical phrases investigated in the current study consist of both general lexical phrases （i.e., lexical bundles/clusters/formulaic sequences in vocabulary and linguistic studies） and move- specific lexical phrases （i.e., lexical phrases specific to the move/steps） as both are necessary for students to master in the construction of academic texts. Studies on either type have, however, tended to neglect the importance of the other and few studies have looked at students＇ acquisition of these phrases within the genre-based framework. This study reports on the process of acquisition of lexical phrases in two cases with distinct starting levels over a period of one semester in an EAP genre-based academic writing classroom. The study was part of a larger project conducted in a tertiary level institution in southern China for instructing disciplinary-specific academic writing. From the analysis of rewritings, genre analysis assignments, in conjunction with a weekly interview and learning journals, it was found that both students＇ awareness of lexical phrases was raised noticeably and a favorable number of phrases were used throughout the instructional period. Different patterns in the use of both general and move-specific lexical phrases were also found in their rewriting tasks, in terms of source of acquisition, perceived usefulness, number and appropriateness of use. This study is expected to offer pedagogical insights into the teaching and learning of academic lexical phrases for tertiary contexts.
