An Empirical Study on the Use of NSS-4 Reviewing Strategies by Second-Year Students of Japanese Majors in Mainland China
Abstract
This paper is undertaken to investigate the status quo of Japanese major sophomores’ use of NSS-4 reviewing strategies by adopting a self-designed questionnaire and interviews. The subjects are 126 second-year Japanese majors from three universities in Jiangsu Province. This finding showed that 1) Japanese major sophomores employed a wide variety of reviewing strategies and they reported to use Direct Reviewing Strategies a bit more frequently than Indirect Reviewing Strategies. 2) There existed some differences between high-score group and low-score group in the use of reviewing strategies. 3) A certain correlation was revealed between reviewing strategies and NSS-4 scores and both Direct Reviewing Strategies and Indirect Reviewing Strategies were highly and positively correlated with NSS-4 scores
