【摘要】 阅读策略作为语言学习策略的一个重要组成部分,是学习者为解决阅读中的困难而采取的行为过程。它不仅包含了阅读中的一些技巧,如预测、推理文章内容、猜测文中生词大意、略读、跳读等,还包含了阅读者为达到预期目的而采取的有选择性和控制性的行为。这些阅读策略可以通过训练获得。阅读策略训练是指教师指导学习者在学习和使用外语阅读材料时,根据需要有效地运用阅读策略的活动。在英语教学中,阅读策略的训练有着极为重要的意义。它不仅有利于学习者提高阅读效果,更好地实现阅读目标,而且还有利于他们探索适合自己的阅读学习途径,增强其独立学习和自主学习的能力,从而为终身学习创造条件。高职教育已成为我国高等教育的重要组成部分。随着高职教育的蓬勃发展,培养学生英语学习的自主性越来越必要。但目前有关如何在高职院校日常教学活动中渗透阅读策略的训练的实验性研究还不多见。因此,研究高职学生阅读策略的使用情况是十分必要和重要的。本论文报告了一项有关英语阅读策略训练的实验研究,其研究目的主要是要探究策略训练对高职学生英语阅读能力的影响。本研究中受试者为湖南铁路科技职业技术学院两个班的八十个高职学生,其中一个班的四十个学生组成实验组,接受四个月以策略训练为基础的英语教学;另一个班的四十个学生组成对照组,接受四个月的常规教学。两组学生全部参加了实验前测和后测,并在实验前测后和实验后测后同时填写了有关使用阅读策略的问卷。所有数据用SPSS软件进行了整理和分析;另外,对十位受试学生在实验后进行了访谈。研究结果表明,高职学生应用英语阅读策略的整体水平较低,高职英语教学中进行阅读策略的培训是十分必要的;高职学生对待策略训练持积极的态度;策略训练的确能提高高职学生的英语阅读兴趣和阅读能力。本论文共由四章组成。第一章对有关学习策略和阅读策略及其训练的文献进行了回顾。第二章详细阐述了与阅读和策略训练相关的理论及教学法。第三章是本论文的实验研究,对受试学生的情况、研究设计和实验操作的过程进行了详细说明。第四章对研究结果进行了具体描述、分析和讨论,最后得出本研究结论,探讨了本研究对英语教学与学习的启示,指出了本研究的局限性,并为今后在此领域进行进一步研究提出了建议。
【Abstract】 Reading strategies, one kind of the language learning strategies, refer to strategies used by language learners aiming to improve their reading comprehension. It not only contains some reading skills such as predicting, making global inferences, making lexical inferences, skimming, scanning, but also includes selective and restraining actions taken by readers for certain purposes. Through researches and experiments, we find reading strategies can be gained by training.Reading strategy training refers to activities in which readers make effective use of reading strategies to deal with reading materials in a foreign language under the instruction of a teacher. Reading strategies play an essential role in English teaching as it will help readers to improve their reading comprehension ability so as to achieve their reading targets. Besides, it is also valuable to discover the most appropriate way of reading to oneself and strengthen the ability of independent learning, thus making preparations for lasting studies.Higher Vocational Education has become an important component of higher education in our country. With the development of the Higher Vocational Education, the ability of learner autonomy in English reading is called for. However, few researches in this field have touched the vocational college students. Therefore, the study to be taken is of great significance.This thesis reports an experimental study of EFL strategy training. The study is designed mainly to explore the effect of the strategy instruction on vocational college students’ English reading ability.In this study, 80 students from Hunan Railway College of Science & Technology were divided into two groups. One contains 40 participants receiving a four-month strategy instruction and the other one includes 40 control subjects receiving the four-month regular language course. Both the experimental group and the control group finished a pre-questionnaire and a post-questionnaire for reading strategies. Besides, all the subjects took the pre-test and post-test. The scores were statistically analyzed by using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS). In addition, some subjects were interviewed after implementing strategy instruction.Findings indicate that the overall use of reading strategies of the vocational college students is not satisfactory and strategy training is quite necessary at vocational colleges. The students have a positive attitude towards reading strategy training. In addition, strategy training does improve vocational college students’ English reading interest and reading ability.The present thesis is composed of four chapters. Chapter One presents a review of the literature of learning strategies, reading strategies and strategy training. Chapter Two expounds theories and methodologies relating to reading. Chapter Three highlights the present study by describing the experiment. Chapter Four gives a detailed description, analysis and discussion of the research results. Finally, the conclusion of the study provides methodological and practical implications, points out the limitations of the study and gives suggestions for further researches in the field.
