听力理解模式及其在听力测试中的作用

聆听(Listening)是外语学习者接触外语和语音输入的主要途径之一，它对外语学习起着重要的作用。本文介绍了心理语言学的三种听力理解模式：“自下而上”模式(bottom-up)、“自上而下”模式(topdown)和“互动”模式(interactive)，并结合大学英语四级考试全真听力测试题，阐述了这三种模式对听力理解的重要指导作用。     

Teacher Judgments of Student Reading and Math Skills: Associations With Child- and Classroom-Related Factors

The purpose of the study was to examine whether students’ linguistic skills and task-avoidant behavior (i.e., the child-related factors) and the mean level of academic skills (reading comprehension and math) of classmates (i.e., the class-related factor) are associated with teacher judgments of children’s reading comprehension and math skills. The participants were third-grade Estonian-speaking students (n?=?656; age 9?11 years) and their classroom teachers (n?=?51). The results of the structural equation modeling path analyses indicated that teachers tend to judge students showing higher academic and linguistic skills and lower avoidance behavior as higher on the reading comprehension and math skills. In contrast, the classmates’ higher academic skill level was related to lower judgments of individual children’s reading comprehension and math skills by teachers.     

The Talking Drawings Strategy: Using Primary Children’s Illustrations and Oral Language to Improve Comprehension of Expository Text

Listening and reading comprehension can be assessed by analyzing children’s visual, verbal, and written representations of their understandings. “Talking Drawings” (McConnell, S. (1993). Talking drawings: A strategy for assisting learners. Journal of Reading, 36(4), 260–269 is one strategy that enables children to combine their prior knowledge with the new information derived from an expository text and “translate” those newly-acquired understandings into other symbol systems, including an oral discussion with a partner, a more detailed drawing, and written labels for the drawing. The Talking Drawings strategy begins by inviting children to create pre-learning drawings. These initial drawings are a way of taking inventory of a child’s current content knowledge about a particular topic. After pre-learning drawings are created and shared, children listen to or read an expository text (e.g., information book, passage from a textbook) on the same topic as their drawing. Pairs of students discuss the information and either modify their pre-learning drawings to be more detailed or create completely new drawings that reflect the recently-acquired information. Students are encouraged to label their drawings with words in a diagram or schematic fashion. By evaluating the “before” and “after” artwork, educators can identify advances in students’ reading and listening comprehension of the terminology, facts, and principles on a particular topic.     

现代招呼语的变异特征及语用制约

招呼语是言语交际活动的重要组成部分,随着人们文化水平的不断提高,招呼语呈现出时尚化、现代化的特点,与中国传统的招呼语相比,现代招呼语在话题选择和句式选择方面具有开放性、多样性、变异性特点。现代社会,人们的交际活动日益丰富多彩,使用恰当、得体的招呼语显得特别重要。交际活动中,招呼语要受话语构建、话语理解、话语角色、语言环境、民族文化心理等因素的制约和影响。     

An Examination of Text Complexity as Characterized by Readability and Cohesion

To better understand dimensions of text complexity and their effect on the comprehension of adolescents, 103 high school seniors were randomly assigned to 4 groups. Each group read versions of the same 2 informational passages and answered comprehension test items targeting factual recall and inferences of causal content. Group A passages had a challenging readability level and high cohesion; Group B passages had an easier readability and low cohesion; Group C passages had a challenging readability level and low cohesion; and Group D passages had an easier readability and high cohesion. Students in Group D significantly outperformed students in Group C (g = 0.78). Although the effect sizes of comparisons among all groups ranged from g = 0.13 to 0.73, no other comparisons were statistically significant. Results indicate that adolescents’ reading comprehension is dually influenced by a text's readability and cohesion. Implications for matching readers to instructional text are discussed.     

背景·内涵·外延--论阅读理解中的要素把握

背景、内涵、外延是正确阅读，理解的三个关键性要素，背景影响写作素材的获得和作品的思想情感，同时，背景又具有偶然性和双向性特点，间接内涵是作品巨大魅力之所在，它具有单一和复合两种形式，把握外延的尺度是正确理解作品现实意义和历史意义的关键。     

论超语言因素对阅读理解的导向作用

在阅读理解过程中,正确理解文本的含义,不能只停留在语言形式的表层意义上,还必须突破语言形式的束缚,充分利用超语言因素的导向作用,从超语言因素的角度对作家文本中塑造的人物的性格特征、陈述的基本观点和情感立场、奠定的特定情景和状态、描述的人物心理状态、预设的感官形象、设置的人物活动状况,以及特定的文化背景和民俗习惯等几个方面去全面把握文本的真正含意。     

双重代码理论及其在英语阅读理解教学中的应用

双重代码理论认为,人类的大脑具有语言和非语言两套表现系统,语言系统处理语言信息,非语言系统处理非语言的输入。读者在使用语言系统的同时,会激发非语言系统,从而产生相应的意象和情感反应。对于外语的阅读教学来说,指导学生有意识地利用意象和情感反应以及隐喻是有效的教学方法。
