单词解码和语言理解在大学生英语阅读中的作用:基于SVR理论的验证

The Role of Word Decoding and Language Understanding in College Students’ English Reading:Verification Based on SVR Theory

本文基于SVR模型(Simple View ofReading),在单词解码、语言理解对大学生英语阅读的影响和作用方面实施分析。以某省高校168名非英语专业一年级大学生为样本进行调查,从语音划分、听力、阅读理解、单词读取、假词拼读以及段落阅读等内容来进行分析,研究结果得出:(1)大学生单词的解码和英语总体水平很低,且被试人员间存在较大的差距,低分组和高分组在阅读理解上存在显著差异;(2)单词解码与阅读理解以及语音理解程度与英语水平有明显的关联关系;(3)单词朗诵和单词意义能明显提高阅读能力;(4)英语学习低分组在单词解码、听力理解和阅读理解上显著低于高分组,但是在语音划分、快速命名和阅读流畅性上与高分组并没有显著差异;(5)线性回归显示SVR理论内可以解释大学生英语阅读能力的差异。结果说明SVR模型能够改善大学生英语阅读困难,并且应确保单词解码和语言理解能力齐头并进、共同提升,进而提升大学生的英语阅读理解能力。

Based on the SVR model, this paper analyzes the influence of English reading on college students’ abilities to decode words and understand language. A sample survey of 168 non-English major first-year college students was carried out. The article analyzed pronunciation division, listening, reading comprehension, reading of words, spelling of fake words, and paragraph reading. The results of the study showed that:(1) College students’ decoding and the overall level of English were very low, and there was a large gap among the participants. There were significant differences in reading comprehension between low score groups and high score groups;(2) There was a clear correlation between word decoding and reading comprehension and the degree of speech comprehension and English level;(3) Reading and understanding meanings of words could significantly improve reading ability;(4) The score of low score group was significantly lower than the high score group in terms of word decoding, listening comprehension, and reading comprehension, but there was no significant difference with the high score group in speech division, rapid naming, and reading fluency;(5) Linear regression showed that the difference in English reading ability could be explained in SVR theory. The results show that word decoding and reading comprehension play an important role in college English learning. The SVR model can effectively solve college students’ English reading problems. The influence of English language comprehension ability on Chinese college students’ English reading comprehension is analyzed, and suggestions are proposed. That is to ensure that the ability of word decoding and language comprehension should go hand in hand. Raising the ability of reading comprehension should be also concerned.
