英语阅读策略实证研究

章节摘录

　　Using thinking-out-loud protocols and interviews are verycommon methods to investigate the reading comprehension strategiesof second language learners by researchers. As to thinking-out-loudprotocols， the researchers ask readers to make a self-report aboutwhat they are thinking about during reading activities.　　Ellen （1986） used thinking-out-loud protocols， retelling andmultiple-choice test to investigate the reading comprehensionstrategies of ESL college students whom shecategorized as poorcomprehenders. In her research， she compared her ESL subjects tonative speakers of English and discovered that the native speakersused the reading strategies slightly more than the ESL learners， butthe thinking-out-loud protocols and retelling reveal no difference inreading strategies used by two groups. But for the multiple-choice test，the pattern was a clash. She found that those readers who hadreported these statements， main ideas and details in the retellings hadhigh scores in the multiple-choice tests. However， those students whodid not do well in the retelling did much better on the multiple-choicetests. The author feels there is a room for suspicion against thefindings of this research.

前言

　　阅读是学习者获得语言输入的主要途径，也是语言学习的重要技能。根据现代心理语言学和认知心理学的理论，阅读理解是一种复杂的认知过程，而这一过程既受读者已有知识的影响，又受到文本特征的影响。现代阅读理论强调读者能积极地在对已知信息进行推测，由此可见，阅读策略的研究对语言学习与教学都具有十分重要的意义和作用。不过，学会并且运用英语阅读策略以提高阅读能力，对于广大第二语言学习者来说，是一个非常重要但又相当艰苦的学习过程。专门的阅读训练应是以教授阅读策略为核心，并加以提高语篇能力和思维能力的阅读训练，从本质上提高学习者的阅读能力。　　《英语阅读策略实证研究》汇聚了中外英语教学专家多年的研究成果，是作者经过20多年教学实证研究，不断总结而写出的指导性著作，力求为英语学习者提供一条通过使用英语阅读策略提高英语阅读能力和英语考试成绩的新途径。本书在阐述英语阅读策略和实用方法的基础上，分三大部分从不同角度对英语阅读策略进行了实证研究，旨在对从事英语阅读教学的教师和具有中级英语阅读水平的第二语言学习者全面掌握英语阅读策略起指导性作用。
