大学英语阅读教学创新三环节

从语言学习的规律来看,英语应用能力的提高是建立在大量的语言输入尤其是大量的阅读基础之上的[1]。所以大学英语阅读教学一直被置于一个非常重要的教学地位。然而,传统的大学英语阅读教学方法已经不能适应当代大学生对英语学习的要求。随着我国加入WTO和经济改革的深入,社会对具有英语实际应用能力的非英语专业大学毕业生的需求日益增加。这就要求大学英语阅读教学不断创新,以培养出更多具有较高英语应用能力的大学毕业生。     

基于系统协调度的武汉城市土地集约利用评价

本文利用1998年～2008年武汉市的城市土地利用统计资料,从状态、时间两个层面开展了武汉市城市土地集约总体评价,结果表明近10年来该市城市土地集约利用程度稳步上升,其中1997年～2002年处于初等集约利用水平,2003年～2007年处于中等集约利用水平,2007年接近高等集约利用状态,综合指数和5个子系统都朝有序方向发展.对城市土地集约利用程度影响较大的为土地利用结构集约和土地利用强度集约两个子系统.2001年、2002年武汉市城市土地复合环境系统协调度为负.系统出现无序化发展的征兆;1997年～2007年,Moran's 1值表明武汉城市土地利用集约度具有较明显的空间聚集特征,其中2007年的值最高,空间集聚特征最明显,而2001年的值最低.该结果对指导武汉市实现城市土地资源的可持续发展、促进利用方式由低效益、粗放式向高效益、集约化转变具有一定的指导意义.

深阅读:概念构建与路径探索

深阅读是多学科讨论的热点概念,当前社会面临“深阅读危机”,促进深阅读已成为全民阅读推广的核心任务,但至今未见对深阅读的明确界定和具体阐释。现有研究对深阅读的理解主要有三个维度:与信息获取相关,与感受相关,与交流相关;而“参与性”是深阅读的基本属性。鉴于深阅读既是主体的参与行为,又是外部环境的作用结果,本文根据“生成认知”理论将深阅读定义为:读者这一具有心智能力的有机体与适合其条件的阅读对象相遇,在适宜的情境下产生积极的行为动力,进而发展而来的高参与度的阅读行为。文章剖析了深阅读对读者和社会的当代意义,认为数字时代深阅读的意义在于其具有“复合”价值,而新文本、新读者、新环境召唤着新型深阅读,应以创造相遇、丰富体验、回归对话为导向开展阅读推广工作。图1。参考文献 53。     

Closing the gap: supporting literacy through a computer-assisted-reading-intervention

Schools in England are expected to ‘close the gap’ for a range of vulnerable pupils who are achieving below the levels seen amongst their same-aged peers. They are also highly accountable for additional funding that is provided to support this goal. The project reported here involved collating and analysing a range of data in order to evaluate the impact of a widely used computer-assisted-reading-intervention (CARI). Sixteen primary school pupils, all of whom were identified by their school as underachieving in literacy, used the CARI daily over a five-week period. The post-intervention data showed some clear gains in reading and spelling skills for all bar one of the children. The findings are discussed in relation to the wider literatures on CARIs. The research concludes that the CARI under investigation offers a useful and cost-effective adjunct to whole-class and group reading instruction and may be particularly beneficial for supporting the learning of pupils who are struggling to consolidate the knowledge and skills covered in their regular classroom reading instruction.     

免费开放背景下图书馆如何进行推广阅读

阅读教育是家庭、学校与社会三方共同努力的结果。作为基层的社会教育机构,公共图书馆在阅读教育的普及和推动中起着重要作用。同时还肩负着阅读教育推广和实施的任务。公共图书馆以丰富馆藏资源做基础,提供与各级学校合作办理阅读推广活动,有助于提升全民阅读习惯和阅读能力。     

Classical Chinese reading instruction: Current practices and their relationship with students' strategy use and reading motivation

The study examined current practices in Classical Chinese (CC) reading instruction in Hong Kong and the relationship between different instructional practices and students' strategy use and motivation in CC reading. A total of 519 secondary students voluntarily responded to a questionnaire that measured their perception of CC reading instruction, strategy use, and motivation. The findings indicate while teachers frequently teach both the language and content aspects of CC reading, the teacher-centered approach they are now adopting is ineffective in facilitating students' CC reading development. Relations between different instructional approaches and students’ strategy use and motivation in CC reading are discussed.     

Externalizing behavior problems and interest in reading as predictors of later reading skills and educational aspirations

This study examined the developments in children’s externalizing problems and interest in reading during their first four years of school (Grades 1–4) and investigated whether this development predicted the children’s Grade 6 reading skills and educational aspirations. Data comprised (1) teachers’ ratings of externalizing problems and children’s (N = 642; 43% girls) self-ratings of their interest in reading, collected between Grades 1 and 4, and (2) measures of reading fluency and comprehension, and children’s self-reports of educational aspirations, collected at Grade 6. First, latent growth modeling showed that a higher level of externalizing problems in Grade 1 was associated with a lower concurrent interest in reading. Second, a positive association between the initial level of interest in reading and a linear change in externalizing problems indicated that children with a lower interest in reading in Grade 1 were rated by teachers as exhibiting higher levels of externalizing problems, which nonetheless declined over the course of their first four years of school more than among other children. Third, a higher initial level of externalizing problems with a linear change in these problems across Grades 1–4 was a predictor of lower subsequent educational aspirations and poorer reading comprehension in Grade 6. Analysis of the indirect effects indicated that a higher level of externalizing problems was associated with a lower concurrent interest in reading, which, in turn, was related to poorer future reading fluency and lower educational aspirations. The findings imply that problem behaviors are interlinked with academic skill development and motivation across the first six years of school.     

Achievement effects of multigrade and monograde primary schools in the Turks and Caicos Islands

This article reports on a study that compares the reading progress of students in multigrade schools with the reading progress of students in monograde schools. The research was conducted in a small island state in the Caribbean. The results of the study indicate that multigrade schools are particularly effective at promoting the reading progress of low-achieving students. It is hypothesised that this is partly because of differences in the approach to instruction in multigrade and monograde classrooms. Whereas monograde classrooms tend to be characterised by undifferentiated whole-class teaching, in multigrade classes students have more opportunity to engage in small-group work. The implications of the findings are explored for policy, practice and research.
