Latent Profiles of Reading and Language and Their Association With Standardized Reading Outcomes in Kindergarten Through Tenth Grade

The objective of this study was to determine the latent profiles of reading and language skills that characterized 7,752 students in kindergarten through tenth grade and to relate the profiles to norm-referenced reading outcomes. Reading and language skills were assessed with a computer-adaptive assessment administered in the middle of the year and reading outcome measures were administered at the end of the year. Three measures of reading comprehension were administered in third through tenth grades to create a latent variable. Latent profile analysis (LPA) was conducted on the reading and language measures and related to reading outcomes in multiple regression analyses. Within-grade multiple regressions were subjected to a linear step-up correction to guard against false-discovery rate. LPA results revealed five to six profiles in the elementary grades and three in the secondary grades that were strongly related to standardized reading outcomes, with average absolute between-profile effect sizes ranging from 1.10 to 2.53. The profiles in the secondary grades followed a high, medium, and low pattern. Profiles in the elementary grades revealed more heterogeneity, suggestive of strategies for differentiating instruction.

Blended Literal Communication in Translation

There is a natural tension between Literal and Communication translation methods and has been going on now for two millenniums. We must be faithful to the original meaning of the source language (SL) and accurate in our translation but flexible enough to communicate naturally to the target language (TL) readers. While it may seem hopeless to truly communicate with all languages and cultures, with the growing global economy and the more interdependent we become, it is even more important that we continue to try to blend our thoughts and hearts together. So with foolish confidence and wise trepidation, this paper will wade into the age long discussion on the practice of translation and teaching, attempting to reconcile the theories of literal or semantic and free or communication translation theories.     

图示理论在大学英语听力教学中的应用

听力理解是困扰大学生英语学习的主要问题之一。传统的大学英语听力课堂通常以教师机械的放录音,学生被动的听信息为主,教学缺乏相关的理论指导,导致教学质量差,学生的听力水平没有得到明显的提高。图式理论为外语听力教学开辟了一条新途径,采取"自上而下"、"自下而上"处理信息等措施,充分发挥学生在听力理解中的主动性,提高学生听力理解能力。     

完形默读法：汉语第二语阅读理解监控试验教学研究

文章以＂为意义而阅读＂为基本的阅读理念,把测量阅读理解和教材难易度的阅读填空（Cloze）测量法应用在第二语课堂阅读教学中,设计成＂完形默读法＂（Cloze Silent Reading Method）,作为阅读过程中的自我监控工具,让学习者能集中注意、调动先备知识与经验,主动与语篇交际。研究结果初步发现,初中二年级的受试在经过第一阶段完形默读历程后,其字面性理解力提升,推论理解力也有所提升;从教学意义来看,完形默读法能发挥理解监控的正面作用,促进学习者的阅读力,意味着第二语阅读过程之教学的一种突破。
