目的 通过英文报刊阅读活动为学生营造以英语为媒介传递信息的平台，从而提高学生接收、理解、转换、加工、输出信息的能力。方法 在英语水平无差异的2011级七年制医学生自然班级中任选两个班级，分别设为对照组（30人）和实验组（30人）。对照组采用常规英语教学，实验组在常规英语教学的基础上开展英文报刊阅读活动。教学结束后．通过英语四级考试成绩评估教学效果。用SPSS16．0对两组学生的大学英语四级考试成绩作独立样本t检验．检验水准α=0．05。结果对照组学生在大学英语四级考试总成绩、听力和阅读单项成绩方面得分高于实验组，两组比较差异有统计学意义（P总=0．000，P听=0．002，P阅=0．001）。但两组在写作单项成绩比较中差异无统计学意义（P；=0．072）。结论 在课堂教学中植入英文新闻阅读播报活动能够有效促进学生英语综合能力，特别是听力和阅读理解能力。但是由于任务设置的局限性使得这一活动对学生写作能力的提高无明显影响。
