元认知策略与英语阅读的关系

The Relationship between Metacognitive Strategies and English Reading

本文报告了一项有关元认知策略与英语阅读之间关系的实证研究情况。研究的结果显示，英语专业学生在英语阅读过程中不同程度地使用了元认知策略，但大多数学生只是有时使用。使用最多的是选择注意类，最少的是评价类，然而评价类元认知策略的使用情况对英语阅读成绩的差异有一定的解释力。其次，整体使用的频率与英语阅读成绩存在相关性。

This article reports an empirical study on the relationship between metacognitive strategies and English reading. Results of the study revealed that the Chinese students majoring in English use metacognitive strategies more or less in English reading, and most of the students in the survey report an occasional use of the strategies in question. Next, among the four categories of metacognitive strategies, what the students use comparatively the most is the category of selective attention while the evaluating category rates the least used. But the usage of the latter exhibits certain predictive validity in explaining the differences in the students’ reading results. Finally, the study also shows some positive relationship between the frequency of overall metacognitive strategy use and the results of English reading.
