A Research on the Structural Model and Influence Path of Non-English Major Postgraduates'Academic English Literacy
This study uses qualitative-quantitative-qualitative linear mixed design to explore the components of academic literacy of Chinese non-English major postgraduates,and analyze the influencing factors and the influencing path.The structural model of academic English literacy established in this study shows that the components include academic English knowledge,academic English skills and academic English capability.Factors affecting academic English literacy include academic English beliefs,academic English practice,academic English environment and English learning experiences.The impact path model combined with interview data shows that academic English beliefs have the most comprehensive impact.Academic English environment and practice complement each other,have a direct impact on academic English skills,and have both direct and indirect effects on academic English capability.Postgratuate students'English learning experience has a direct impact on academic English skills.Theoretically this study clarifies the relationship between the"common core"hypothesis and"socialization approach"of English academic literacy,and thus lays the theoretical foundation for integrating the above two theories to carry out academic English teaching for non-English major postgraduates in the Chinese context.
