摘要
This article attempts to find out if there are gender differences in using reading strategies and if any what they are. The questionnaire and think-aloud research methods are adopted. Result shows that although the difference between boys and girls in the overall use of reading comprehension strategies was not significant, a strong tendency was observed indicating the greater extent of strategy use among girls in both the results from the questionnaire and think-aloud technique. Girls used reading strategies more frequently than boys. Boys and girls used strategies differently, especially in the strategies for establishing coherence in the text.
本文采用问卷调查法和"大声思维"这两种研究方法,对83名非英语专业的大学生的英语阅读策略使用情况进行调查,试图探讨男、女生在使用阅读策略方面是否存在差异。通过数据进行分析,得出如下结论:虽然男生和女生在总体阅读策略的运用上没有表现出显著差异,但是在利用上文进行分析策略方面,男女生之间存在明显差异。女生使用阅读策略比男生更频繁,更灵活。
