论先前知识与英语阅读教学

在英语教学中学习者的先前知识,或图式知识是影响外语学习的重要因素。因此能否激活图式至关重要。图式包括三种形式:语言图式,内容图式和形式图式。传统"自下而上"和"自上而下"的阅读模式只强调其中某一种图式的激活,交替模式则主张将两种模式结合的阅读模式。因此,在英语阅读教学种教师不仅要注重激活学生的语言图式,更要注重其内容和形式图式的激活。

A Tentative Study of Prior Knowledge and the Teaching of English Reading

Prior knowledge or schematic knowledge is the key factor of foreign language reading.Thus,it is important to activate schemata of the three kinds:linguistic schemata,content schemata and formal schemata.Traditional reading models,"bottom-up" and "top-down",only emphasize one aspect of them while the interactive model advocates the combination of the two models.That is,in the teaching of English reading,teachers should emphasize the activation of students' content and formal schemata as well as that of linguistic schemata.
