“窄式阅读”理论探析

Theoretical Exploration and Implication of Narrow Reading

窄式阅读指学习者通过阅读同一风格、同一主题或某位作家的多部作品来提高阅读能力的一种策略。其理论基础为输入假设和图式理论。教师在教学内容的设计过程中可以引入窄式阅读的方法,采取专题性原则。这种专题性原则同样适用于教材的编写。此外,窄式阅读可用于增加学习者阅读的趣味性,使输入的语言材料既有趣又相关,有利于语言的习得。

Narrow-reading refers to the strategies to improve reading by reading on the same topic books by the same author,and /or in the same genre. The theoretical bases of narrow reading are the Input Hypothesis and the Schema Theory. Teachers can adopt the same topic principle based on the narrow reading concept in the process of teaching design. This principle can also be applied in the textbook compilation. In addition,one advantage of narrow reading is that it can arouse the reading interest of learners and make the input language materials interesting and relevant ,which is conducive to language acquisition.
