【摘要】 作为四项基本语言技能之一,阅读在英语学习中发挥着非常重要的作用,但是英语泛读在大学英语教学中没能得到足够的重视,泛读课堂上单一的教学方法导致学生逐渐丧失学习动机和兴趣,因此改变学生对于泛读课程的认识和态度是解决这些问题的关键。任务型教学法强调通过用目标语进行交互交际活动来进行学习,为学习者提供接触真实的学习材料的机会,旨在激发学习者的兴趣。但是国内外关于泛读的文献大部分局限于探讨其在语言学习中的重要性以及实施过程中的问题,国内的实证研究为数甚少。本研究通过一次任务型教学方法在泛读课程上的教学实践,旨在检验此种教学方法能否有效的改变学习者对泛读的认识以及培养学生泛读习惯。本研究的受试者是来自武汉工程大学职业技术学院商务英语专业的88名大二学生。作者以行动研究为研究方法,调查任务型教学方法对改变学生泛读态度以及阅读习惯的效果。本研究持续10周,通过发放问卷来调查学生的泛读态度,结合学习反馈、教学日志以及访谈,深入了解在任务型教学法对于改变学生泛读态度的影响。研究结果表明,学生的泛读态度得到改善,泛读兴趣得以激发,很多学生认识到课外自主阅读的重要性。为期10周的教学实践不仅让学生们认识到泛读的重要性,而且帮助学生更好的了解到泛读在英语学习中的重要性。此外,本研究也总结了相应的教学启示。但是本研究在任务的安排,阅读材料的选择以及任务的实施等方面仍有待改进。更多还原

【Abstract】 As one of the basic four language skills, reading plays an essential role in language learning, but extensive reading does not attract much attention in language teaching. The dull teaching approach results in students’loss of reading motivation and interest, therefore, changing students’understanding of and attitude toward extensive reading is crucial to solve problems in extensive reading classroom. Task-based approach aims at motivating learners to learn through interactive communication in target language, providing learners with the opportunity to make full use of authentic learning materials.However, the literature both at home and abroad focuses on discussing the importance of extensive reading and the practical problems in implementing it; and there are few experimental researches on extensive reading in China. In this study, the author adopts task-based approach in her extensive reading classroom in order to investigate its effect on changing students’attitude toward extensive reading and fostering their extensive reading habits.The participants in this study include 88 students majoring in Business English from the vocational college of Wuhan Institute of Technology. Teacher action research is used to investigate the effects of the application of task-based language teaching method on the change of students’attitude towards extensive reading and their reading habits. The experiment lasts for ten weeks. Questionnaires were distributed to find out students’attitude towards extensive reading while teaching journals, students personal accounts and interviews are used to find out the effects of the task-based approach on students.The results of the research indicate that students’attitudes toward extensive reading have been improved and interests have been aroused. Many students have also learned to read autonomously after class. Ten-week training not only helps students realize the importance of extensive reading but also make them understand the function and significance of reading extensively. Some pedagogical implications were drawn after the research.However, there is still room for improvement in the selection and arrangement of materials, implementation of tasks.更多还原
