本文报告了对大学生进行英语阅读策略训练的实验研究，并以阅读测试、问卷为工具，运用定量研究方法，分析了策略训练对学生阅读能力的影响。结果显示策略教学有效地提高了学生的整体阅读理解水平和阅读速度，极大地增强了学生理解文章主要内容、进行综合性推理和推测词义的能力，而查找事实、细节的能力没有受到实验的直接影响。此外，问卷调查显示，学生对策略训练普遍持认同态度，说明这类训练活动可安全地应用于大学外语课堂阅读教学。

This article reported a study of reading strategy training in an ongoing college English classroom, and investigated the effects of the training on students' reading ability by means of analyzing test results and the questionnaire. Results showed that strategy training was effective in enhancing EFL college students' overall reading proficiency and reading rate. The intervention had significant effect on the improvement of students' abilities to grasp main ideas and to make global and lexical inferences from both given passages and knowledge of the world; however, it had no obvious effect on the improvement of their ability to extract detailed information from the texts. Finally, post-training questionnaire revealed that the students took positive attitudes toward the training and the four strategies, indicating that such training activities are relatively safe to use in Chinese EFL college reading classroom.
