【摘要】 长期以来,阅读作为一种行之有效的语言学习技能而备受二语习得者的关注。阅读使得二语习得者充分沉浸于目的语的熏陶中,从文字与文化上全方位的把握目的语,在不知不觉中提高自己的二语水平。然而,阅读虽然在提高学习者的学习效果上功不可没,但它自身又给学习者带来不少的障碍。如何能够有效的提高二语习得者的阅读理解能力,从而相应地促进学习者的综合语言水平的进步,正日益成为语言学习者和研究者们所关注的课题。阅读策略使用的研究对第二语言学习与教学都具有重要的意义。本研究旨在借助学习成功者、不成功者对比的实验方法探讨中国大学生在外语学习过程中使用阅读策略的特点。本文包括五个章节,首先回顾了语言学习策略的相关研究,接着阐述了阅读策略的理论基础和语言能力的相关知识。在此基础上,进行了调查研究,试图探讨了学习者的二语程度对阅读策略选择的影响。本研究采用定量与定性研究相结合的方式对来自中国石油大学(华东)的199名新生进行问卷调查。定量研究中,在收回的有效问卷中选出36份学习成功者的问卷和39份不成功者的问卷进行数据编辑、整理和分析。定性研究中,从以上75名学生中选出10名并对他们进行访谈。研究结果表明:非英语专业的新生在英语阅读过程中使用阅读策略,但是学习成功者与不成功者在使用阅读策略的过程中存在差异,而且在某些阅读策略的使用上存在显著性差异。针对以上研究结果,讨论了如何把阅读策略训练融入到英语阅读教学中。教师应该在教学过程中按照实际情况合理加入阅读策略的教授和训练,提高学生对阅读策略的掌握和有效地运用,以此提高学生的阅读水平及综合的二语水平。最后,作者提出了本研究的不足之处及对今后研究的建议。更多还原

【Abstract】 Reading, as an effective language learning skill, has been paid much attention to by the second language learners. Reading helps second language learners fully enjoy the environment of the target language, and grasp it from both words and cultures, thus their language proficiency will be improved unconsciously. Although reading plays a very important role in improving language learning, reading itself also brings lots of trouble for learners. How to effectively improve the reading ability of second language learners so as to stimulate the development of learners’language proficiency, is taken as one of the most focused topics for the second language learners and researchers.Hence research on reading strategies is of great importance in language learning as well as in language teaching. The purpose of the present study intends to investigate the present situation of reading strategy use among first-year non-English majors and the significant differences between successful and unsuccessful English learners in their employment of reading strategies. This thesis consists of five chapters in addition to introduction and conclusion. Firstly, the author reviews the relevant studies of language learning strategies. Secondly, the author states the theoretical basis of reading strategy and some related information on language proficiency. On the basis of the theories and research, an experimental study is conducted to probe the effect of learners’English proficiency on the choice of reading strategies.In this study, both quantitative research and qualitative research were adopted. The participants were 199 non-English major freshmen from China University of Petroleum, who were required to complete the questionnaire. In the quantitative research, the questionnaires of 36 high-level students and of 39 low-level students were selected for analysis. In the qualitative research, 10 students were chosen to take part in the interviews. Results of the study reveal that non-English major freshmen do use some reading strategies, and there are significant differences between high-level and low-level students in their employment of reading strategies. Based on these findings, implications on integrating reading strategy training into English reading instruction have been discussed. In the future teaching, teachers should instruct reading strategies during the teaching process, not only letting the students know some reading strategies, but also training them how to use these strategies flexibly and effectively, so as to improve their reading competence and the overall language proficiency. Lastly, limitations of this research and suggestions for further research are put forward.更多还原
