词汇重复衔接理论在英语阅读理解中的应用

阅读理解在四、六级英语考试中占有举足轻重的地位。本文试图从功能语言学的角度出发，分析语篇衔接中的词汇重复衔接手段在阅读理解中应用的可行性，为阅读理解考试提供了一个新的解题思路。     

词汇知识与阅读理解的相关性研究

采用具有高效度与信度的测试工具对长春两所高校74名英语专业的大二学生进行了词汇知识和阅读理解测试,以此探索词汇知识与阅读理解的相关性。结果表明,词汇广度与阅读理解存在显著的正相关关系;词汇深度与阅读理解的相关性较为显著;词汇广度与阅读理解的相关性大于词汇深度与阅读理解的相关性。     

制约非英语专业学生阅读理解的词汇因素

非英语专业学生阅读过程受到多因素的影响,其中词汇是最主要的制约因素。由于词汇量不足,对词义的理解出现偏差,难以确定英语词汇独特的文化内涵以及猜词策略难以奏效等因素,学生的阅读理解水平难以突破。     

运用篇章词汇重复理论提高阅读理解能力

在Hoey的篇章重复理论的基础上，结合几年来教育、教学实践工作经验，就如何提高学生的阅读理解能力，进行了一些探讨。     

谈中学英语阅读理解中的词汇障碍

阅读理解 ,顾名思义 ,阅读后对其理解。从心理学的角度来讲 ,阅读是一个认知和言语交际的过程 ,该过程实质上就是读者对语言信息的理解过程 ,即通过对相应的词、句进行处理 ,从而达到对作者的思想观点的沟通与理解。而沟通与理解的基础是学生对语言符号的辨认 ,而学生对语言符号的处理方式决定其阅读效率。近几年高考题阅读理解部分的生词量可达到数十处 ,这还不包括那些虽熟悉却含有新意义的词。这往往会成为学生阅读的障碍 ,从而破坏了学生阅读的思路和兴趣 ,甚至会波及到学生的情绪而影响其正常发挥。其实并非所有生词都能构成阅读理解的…     

阅读理解与词汇积累

本文论述了阅读与词汇的关系，列出了阅读与词汇积累的一些方法，提出了专业英语阅读中应注意的问题。     

阅读理解课中的词汇教学问题研究

生词的词义随着上下的变化而变化,在阅读过程中碰到生词,单凭查阅词典定义是不能解决的,解决阅读词汇量的问题的关键在于掌握恰当的阅读理解和积词方法。本探讨了阅读理解课中如何教学英语词汇的问题,提出了通过上下提供的线索猜测目标生词的方法。归纳出七种上下提供的线索,反义词语线索、同义词语线索、定义线索、释义线索,语法功能线索和构词要素线索,并指出利用这些线索达到猜词和理解章的目的的具体步骤。     

词汇分析法在英语阅读理解中的运用

在英语阅读理解中,生词是学生阅读的大敌。教给学生通过上下文推测生词词义,依靠构词法方面的知识,从生词本身猜测词义和忽略难词,恰当使用字典等阅读方法有利于学生扩大词汇量,培养良好的阅读习惯和提高阅读能力。本文从词汇分析法与阅读理解的关系这一方面论述了在阅读理解中运用词汇分析法的重要性,以及在课堂上如何运用这一方法,并在实践中发现这一方法的可行性。     

英语阅读理解中词汇附带习得探析

词汇是英语学习的基石,但英语教师不可能把大部分的时间都用来教学生词汇,近年来许多学者开始关注词汇附带习得,就是学生在完成别的学习任务时,并没有把注意力放在词汇学习上,却附带习得了词汇。文章通过纵览近几年词汇附带习得方面的研究,分析了影响阅读理解中词汇附带习得的因素,重点阐释了提高阅读理解中词汇附带习得的方法,如通过对阅读理解中生词不同方式的注释或者设置不同的与生词相关的任务,并探讨了这些方法的理论支撑,最后提出了一些对英语教学有益的建议,以更好的促进词汇附带习得。     

阅读理解中的附带词汇习得研究概述

本文从阅读理解中附带词汇习得的认知机制及其加强条件两个方面归纳和总结了国内外学者对阅读理解中附带词汇习得的研究。研究发现,尽管阅读理解中的附带词汇习得研究丰硕,但语篇特点对附带词汇习得效果影响的研究较为缺乏,不同语篇的特点如题材、体裁、生词量等因素,必然会对附带词汇习得造成影响。     

词汇复现在英语阅读理解中的作用

大多数篇章都是有机组织的整体,而这种有机性主要是通过有效衔接策略来实现的。词汇衔接中的复现是实现语篇连贯的多种衔接机制之一,用其进行语篇分析,能够确定语篇题眼,推导语篇主旨,明晰作者意图,达到提高阅读理解能力之目的。     

Reading Ability: Lexical Quality to Comprehension

The lexical quality hypothesis (LQH) claims that variation in the quality of word representations has consequences for reading skill, including comprehension. High lexical quality includes well-specified and partly redundant representations of form (orthography and phonology) and flexible representations of meaning, allowing for rapid and reliable meaning retrieval. Low-quality representations lead to specific word-related problems in comprehension. Six lines of research on adult readers demonstrate some of the implications of the LQH. First, large-scale correlational results show the general interdependence of comprehension and lexical skill while identifying disassociations that allow focus on comprehension-specific skill. Second, word-level semantic processing studies show comprehension skill differences in the time course of form-meaning confusions. Studies of rare vocabulary learning using event-related potentials (ERPs) show that, third, skilled comprehenders learn new words more effectively and show stronger ERP indicators for memory of the word learning event and, fourth, suggest skill differences in the stability of orthographic representations. Fifth, ERP markers show comprehension skill differences in meaning processing of ordinary words. Finally, in text reading, ERP results demonstrate momentary difficulties for low-skill comprehenders in integrating a word with the prior text. The studies provide evidence that word-level knowledge has consequences for word meaning processes in comprehension.     

Lexical Quality and Reading Comprehension in Primary School Children

In a cross-sectional study, we examined the relationship between the quality of lexical representations and text comprehension skill in German primary school children (Grades 1–4). We measured the efficiency and accuracy of orthographical, phonological, and meaning representations by means of computerized tests. Text comprehension skill was assessed with a standardized reading test with questions requiring recognition of text information and inferencing. Both the accuracy of and the efficiency of access to the three types of lexical representations contributed to explaining interindividual variation in text comprehension skill. Results from a path-analytic model suggest a specific causal order of the three components of lexical quality with the quality of meaning representations partly mediating the effects of form representations.     

非英语专业学生英语阅读能力薄弱的症结

Development of Lexical Mediation in the Relation Between Reading Comprehension and Word Reading Skills in Greek

This study focuses on the shared variance between reading comprehension and word-level reading skills in a population of 534 Greek children in Grades 2 through 4. The correlations between measures of word and pseudoword accuracy and fluency, on the one hand, and vocabulary and comprehension skills, on the other, were sizeable and stable or increasing with grade. However, the unique contribution of word reading to comprehension became negligible after vocabulary measures were entered in hierarchical regression analyses, particularly for higher grades, suggesting that any effects of decoding on comprehension may be mediated by the lexicon, consistent with lexical quality hypothesis. Structural modeling with latent variables revealed an invariant path across grades in which vocabulary was defined by its covariation with reading accuracy and fluency and affected comprehension directly. It is argued that skilled word reading influences comprehension by strengthening lexical representations, at least when phonological decoding can be relatively effortless.     

Methods for Teachers to Eliminate Lexical Obstacles to Reading Comprehension in High School

Reading comprehension is important for both teacher and students in high school.And there is a phenomenon in stu dents when they do the reading comprehension.If word recognition is difficult,students use too much of their time to read and understand the individual words,which interferes with their ability to comprehend what is read and waste too much of their time in the examination.This makes the comprehension difficult for high school students.The paper focuses on the methods for teach ers to eliminate lexical obstacles to reading comprehension in high school.
