摘要：针对Richards & Farrell(2005)提出的旨在促进语言教师专业发展的11种学习策略(包括自我监察、同伴辅导、合作教学、教师互助小组、案例研究、教学工作坊、教学日志、行动研究等);研究者设计了一套由14道题组成的半开放式调查问卷;在G大学Y学院的90多位大学英语教师中进行研究。基于48份有效反馈问卷;对11种策略在大学英语教师发展中的作用进行了实证分析。研究结论认为;上述11种策略对大学英语教师专业发展均有帮助;但在帮助的程度、侧面以及适应对象等方面不尽相同;教师对它们的喜好也有差异。无论是由教师独立完成还是由教师间合作才能进行的学习策略;都需要教师增强专业发展的自我意识;积极参与合作活动;教师所在组织应努力营造学院的合作文化;为教师专业发展创设良好环境。本研究对我国大学英语教师的专业发展具有启发意义。
