二语习得背景下我国英语朗读研究

A Review of Studies on Verbal Reading in SLA in China

我国的二语朗读研究基本上是与国外本领域的研究同步的。从研究方法上看,既有定量分析又有定性分析;从研究内容上看,对于英语朗读理论的研究从借鉴逐步走向消化和应用。不过,从国内二语朗读本身来看,依然有许多值得关注的问题。首先,当前的朗读口语研究主要集中在语音层面上。但如何通过朗读口语去发掘二语习得者在词汇、语法乃至语篇学习方面存在的问题几乎没有人涉足。其次,朗读对二语听力和口语的发展具有明显的促进作用虽然已经成为我国二语研究者和教师的共识,但在究竟该如何利用朗读去促进和发展学习者的听力和口语能力方面的研究显得较为薄弱,缺乏切实可行的具体操作方案。

The studies on verbal reading in SLA coordinate with what is done abroad.That is to say,from the view of research methods,both quantitative and qualitative methods are used in many of the studies.From the point of contents,there is a clear tendency:there are fewer and fewer studies interested in introducing research results abroad,but more and more theoretical and empirical studies have been carried out with the Chinese learners as subjects.However,there are some areas to be further explored in the future:first,the current studies on verbal reading put much on phonology with little on lexicology and syntax and discourse.Secondly,agreement has been reached among SAL scholars and teachers that verbal reading does good to improving listening and oral competence,but how to make the use of reading to develop those abilities still remains unsaid.
