چکیده

روش تدریس موسوم به آموزش ترکیبی که گاه از آن به‌عنوان برترین روش آموزش موجود نیز یاد می‌شود، مزایای آموزش مجازی و آموزش سنتی چهره‌به‌چهره را در هم ‌می‌آمیزد. پژوهش حاضر به بررسی تأثیر یادگیری تلفیقی بر تنوع واژگان، تراکم واژگان و پیچیدگی نحوی مهارت گفتاری و نوشتاری‌‌ زبان‌آموزان ایرانیِ انگلیسی به‌عنوان زبان خارجی در یک دورۀ نُه‌ماهه در دبیرستان پرداخته ‌است. دو دستۀ 42‌‌ نفرۀ همگن از دانش‌آموزان دبیرستانی انتخاب شدند. با استفاده از آزمون تعیین‌سطح تاپناچ ‌‌یک دسته به‌عنوان گروه تلفیقی و دستۀ دیگر به‌عنوان گروه چهره‌به‌چهره در نظر گرفته ‌شد. سپس، برای گروه تلفیقی وب‌سایتی ‌‌به‌عنوان بستر فعالیت‌های مجازی از قبیل اتاق گفتگوی برخط، جلسه‌های بحث هم‌زمان و غیرهم‌زمان برای فعالیت‌های گفتاری و نگارش و همچنین یک فعالیت زبانی تکلیف‌محور طراحی ‌شد. گروه چهره‌به‌چهره آموزش برابر اما متفاوتی دریافت کردند. در ابتدا و پایان سال تحصیلیِ نُه‌ماهه، به‌منظور استخراج نمونه‌های گفتاری و نوشتاری دانش‌آموزان، از مصاحبه‌ و تکلیف نگارش استفاده‌ شد. سرانجام، پیکرۀ به‌دست‌آمده از مصاحبه‌های اول و آخر و تکالیف نوشتاری به‌منظور مشاهدۀ تغییر در ویژگی‌های زبانی، توسط دو رمزگذار مستقل مورد تحلیل قرار گرفت. برای یافتن تفاوت‌ معنادار بین شاخص‌های ویژگی‌های زبانی در این دو پیکره از آزمون تحلیل واریانس یک‌طرفه استفاده ‌شد. نتایج نشان داد که آموزش تلفیقی ازنظر گفتار و نگارش، تأثیر مثبتی بر تنوع و تراکم واژگان دارد. بااین‌حال، پیچیدگی نحوی گفتار و نوشتار برای گروه چهره‌به‌چهره معنی‌‌دار بود. از این ‌رو، براساس نتایج به‌دست‌آمده، هنگامی‌که تمرکز توجه بر مهارت‌های تولیدی باشد، برتری آموزش تلفیقی نسبت به چهره‌به‌چهره مشهود است.
