ABSTRACT

 

Self-repair is a universal phenomenon in the process of oral output. Researches on the self-repair behavior in SLA have great important theoretical and pedagogical significance. 

This study adopts corpus analysis, marking the subtypes of self-repair that occurred in the oral production of an non-English major postgraduates’ English speech contest held by Jiangsu University. The study focuses on analyzing the distribution of each subtype of self-repair and the correction rate in view of two variables: oral proficiency and gender. Thus, the relevance between self-repair and oral proficiency and self-repair and gender will be concluded. 

The result of the study shows that, as for the distribution, the same information self-repair has the highest proportion, followed by the appropriateness self-repair, the error self-repair and the different information self-repair. In addition, there is certain relevance between self-repair and non-English major postgraduates’ oral proficiency and their gender. It can be concluded that the higher the oral proficiency is, the more appropriateness self-repair will be used; while the lower the oral proficiency is, the more same information self-repair will be used. Besides, the correction rate of high proficiency level is higher than low proficiency group. In terms of gender, males use error self-repair most while females have preference for appropriateness self-repair, and the correction rate of female group is higher than that of male group. 

This study can help the teachers deepen the understanding of self-repair and obtain enlightenment in second language teaching.

Key words: self-repair; Chinese non-English major postgraduates; oral production
