摘要
Reading comprehension plays a vital role in English teaching and learning. It's impossible to learn English without reading. So for many years, English teachers have been engaging themselves in the research of teaching reading effectively and they have proposed useful ways of teaching reading, such as bottom-up and top-down. Recently, the research in native English readers has shown that teaching of the text structure can facilitate first language reading. Based on the research in native English reading, the author carries out the research where top-level structure is applied to 'New Horizon College English'. The basic approaches in this essay are 'cause—effect' 'problem—solution' and 'time sequence'. The practice has proved that the application of top-level structure can guide the readers to build up the awareness of text structure and it can help the students overcome language and cultural barriers.
阅读教学在英语教学中具有举足轻重的地位。可以说,没有阅读就没有英语语言的学习。因此多年来,英语教师就怎样有效地提高阅读理解能力进行了大量的研究,提出了"自下而上","自上而下"等阅读教学方法。近年来,国外阅读研究者们对英语为母语的学习者进行了用篇章结构教阅读的实验,结果证明这种教学方法能有效地促进英语阅读。本文作者在前人研究的基础上,对英语为外语的中国学习者进行了语篇结构的阅读教学,具体结构形式为"原因—结果","问题—解决方法"及"时间顺序"。实践证明整体语篇结构教学能引导学生树立语篇意识,帮助学生克服语言和文化障碍,有效地掌握文章内容,达到与文章作者共鸣之功效。
