【摘要】 阅读理解是人们获取和交流信息的重要手段,这一重要性使其成为诸多学者研究关注的对象。以往的研究已经提出了一些阅读理解的理论模型,如自下而上阅读模式,自上而下阅读模式,交互型阅读模式,图式理论阅读模式等。这些研究对英语阅读教学产生了重要的影响,极大地促进了英语阅读教学的发展,但是由于这些理论模型本身的不足,已不能满足当前英语阅读教学的需要。关联理论是由Sperber和Wilson于1986年在其《关联:交际与认知》一书中首次系统地提出的。关联理论对话语理解的成功阐释表明其对阅读理解同样具有潜在的解释力,这是因为阅读理解本质上就是读者和作者进行交流的过程。本文试图在关联理论对交际和话语理解的解释框架下对阅读理解进行分析和阐释。高职教育是我国高等教育的重要组成部分,它不同于学术型的普通高等教育,而是培养生产、技术、服务、管理等方面的就业教育。目前,为了适应人才培养的需要,大多数高职院校已经开始实行英语教学改革,而行业英语教学改革给高职院校英语阅读带来了很大的挑战。在这样的背景下,关联理论为高职院校阅读教学走出困境开创了一个新的视野。本文首先介绍了关联理论的主要概念和核心观点,如关联的定义、关联原则、认知环境与互明、明示-推理交际、信息意图与交际意图、非论证推理以及关联理论和语境效果等。基于对关联理论框架下阅读过程的分析,本文提出了一个基于关联理论的阅读模式。为了检验关联理论的阅读模式运用是否对高职英语阅读教学具有切实的指导作用,本文进行了一项关联理论指导下的阅读教学实验。实验在金华职业技术学院艺术学院的英语阅读教学中开展,实验表明基于关联理论的阅读教学模式具有一定的可行性。本文最后提出了对于高职教育的一些启示和建议,如为学生提供阅读背景知识,强化推理能力的训练以及充分发挥学生自主学习能力等等。
【Abstract】 Reading comprehension is a very important way to acquire and exchange information. Numerous studies have been carried out to examine the nature and mechanism of reading comprehension. Different models have been proposed to account for the reading process, among them the best known are the Bottom-up model, the Top-Down model, the Interactive model, and the Schema model. These studies have provided abundant implications for the teaching of EFL reading, but the influence seems to have exhausted its power because of the limitations of these studies. First proposed by Sperber and Wilson in their seminal monograph Relevance: Communication and Cognition in1986, Relevance Theory (hereafter abbreviated as RT) has been very successful in approaching communication and its explanatory power can be extended to account for reading comprehension, which is essentially a communication process between the author and the prospective reader.Higher vocational colleges in China have been undertaking the responsibility to train high-quality skilled talents in such areas as manufacture, building, service and administration. Since the beginning of the English teaching reform, there have, been great challenges for English reading teaching in vocational colleges. Relevance Theory opens up a new horizon for English reading teaching.The thesis first made an introduction to the key notions of Relevance Theory, namely the definition of relevance, the principle of relevance, contextual assumption, cognitive environment and mutual manifestedness, ostensive-inferential communication as well as deduction. Based on a detailed account of reading process from the perspective of RT, a Relevance-theoretic model of reading comprehension was proposed. A reading teaching experiment was then carried out in Jinhua Vocational College to test the feasibility of the Relevance-theoretic model of reading teaching. Finally, this thesis put forward some suggestions for English reading teaching in vocational college. It is suggested that teachers should strengthen the teaching of background knowledge, emphasize the cultivation of deductive ability, pay attention to the building up of an appropriate reading environment and make good use of students’learner autonomy.
