课堂沉默现象目前已经成为困扰大学英语教和学的普遍问题。本文正是以此为出发点,以课堂沉默理论为支撑,在深入课堂的基础上采用自然观察和数据分析相结合的方法,将观察到的课堂沉默现象进行描述和归类。研究表明,当前大学英语课堂沉默以话轮内沉默和话轮间沉默为主,兼有少量话轮沉默。 Classroom silence has now become a common problem plaguing college English teaching and learning. Based on this, this dissertation takes the classroom silence theory as a support, uses the combination of natural observation and data analysis on the basis of in-depth classroom, and describes and classifies the observed phenomenon of classroom silence. The research shows that the current college English classroom silence is mainly silence within the wheel and silence between the wheel and wheel, with a small amount of silent silence.
