学术英语阅读素材的难度调控范式与智能应用探索

Technology-enhanced text adaptation in academic English reading:Paradigms and applications

在进行学术英语阅读教学时,教师需要将素材文本难度与学习者的语言水平进行匹配,以获得更好的课堂教学效果。本文旨在综述学术英语阅读素材的难度调控范式,并探索新兴技术在学术英语阅读素材难度调控中的应用,为学术英语阅读教学提供理论支撑与方法参考。本文系统梳理了结构设计、语言改编、内容注解三种难度调控范式,并在此基础上介绍了“结构要素智能标注”“语言难度智能分析”“内容难点智能简化”三种智能应用案例。文章讨论了新兴技术在阅读素材难度调控中的应用前景,并为学术英语阅读的难度调控与教学实践提供了可操作性建议。

In teaching academic English reading,teachers need to adapt texts for students’reading proficiency levels,in order to improve students’learning outcomes.This paper reviews the paradigms of text adaptation in academic English reading,and probes into the applications of new technologies on text adaptation,aiming to provide theoretical and methodological support for teaching and learning of academic English reading.This paper categorizes text adaptation of academic English reading into“structure design”,“linguistic modification”and“content elaboration”,and introduces technology-enhanced text adaptation applications in each category,including“machine annotation of structural elements”,“data-driven analysis of linguistic complexity”and“automatic simplification of difficult content”.This paper finally discusses the prospects of using new technologies for text adaptation,and provides suggestions for future practices of text adaptation in academic English reading.
