图式理论在大学英语阅读教学中的应用——以Swimming through fear这篇课文的教学为案例

Application of Schema Theory in the Teaching of College English Reading: A Example of Teaching the Text:Swimming Through Fear

图式理论最早是由心理学家提出来的,后来被应用到语言教学中,特别是阅读教学中。本文应用案例分析的方法,分析了基于图式理论的阅读模式对大学英语阅读教学的应用价值。教师在阅读教学中既要善于激活学生大脑里的图式知识,补充学生记忆中缺乏的图式知识,又要注重文本字面的信息分析和理解,把"自上而下"和"自下而上"结合起来,才能帮助学生实现对文本的正确理解,提高英语阅读理解能力。

Schema theory is initially put forward by psychologists,and later it is applied in language instruction,especially in the teaching of reading comprehension.By using the method of case study,this paper analyzes the application value of the reading model based on schema theory in the teaching of college English reading.Teachers are supposed to help students activate their schema knowledge in their mind in the course of teaching reading comprehension,and supplement the schema knowledge deficient in their memory.Teachers should also attach great importance to the analysis of the text itself.By combining the"top-down"and the"bottom-up"model,teachers are able to help students attain a correct and through understanding of the text,and ultimately improve students reading ability.
