【摘要】 高中英语课程标准(实验版,2003)要求学生掌握四项基本语言技能:听、说、读和写。其中阅读是非常重要的,因为它是学生获取信息的必要途径。因此,阅读教学是高中英语教学的重心。课程标准制定的高中英语阅读教学的目标是发展学生的阅读能力,使他们能快速有效地阅读。基于新版的英语课程标准,高考试卷中有关阅读理解部分的测试出现了新的倾向:基于语篇,重视对整个篇章的全面理解,目的在于提高学生的语篇意识和阅读能力。而且,阅读在高考试卷中占很大的比重。那么高中英语阅读教学策略是否重视对学生语篇意识和阅读能力的培养呢?答案是否定的。通过查阅文献和问卷调查,发现学生对语篇知识了解甚少,更别说将它们应用于阅读。同时,阅读能力和阅读成绩也不尽如人意。基于刘辰诞(1999)和Grabe and L.Stoller(2005)的篇章结构理论,可以发现篇章结构与阅读的本质联系紧密。因此,毫无疑问,将语篇理论应用于阅读教学的尝试是合理的。这种应用的目的是培养学生的语篇意识和语篇能力,让语篇结构知识帮助其有效的理解和把握语篇体裁,篇章类型,篇章模式和篇章策略连续体,以达到对阅读材料的全面深入的理解,实现与作者文本的沟通交流。本文试图检验语篇结构理论应用于高中英语阅读教学的效果,具体来说试图回答以下研究问题,即:将篇章结构理论应用于高中英语阅读教学之前学生对该理论的了解情况怎么样?英语教师怎样将篇章结构理论应用于高中英语阅读教学?将篇章结构理论应用于高中英语阅读教学的效果怎么样?本文的研究方法是通过问卷和考试测试来获取数据,并使用SPSS19.0对数据进行分析。实验对象是安徽省某县高二的两个平行班,问卷调查发现实验前这两个班几乎不了解语篇知识,同时前测结果表明两个班在阅读水平上基本相当。实验持续一个学期,由同一老师采用不同的方法来教授这两个班级的阅读,实验班是基于语篇结构理论的教学法,控制班是传统教学法。后测结果表明,两个班级的阅读水平出现差异,实验班的平均成绩明显高于控制班。期末问卷结果进一步说明,通过老师在课堂上对语篇知识和策略的引入,实验班的学生能够在阅读过程中利用背景知识、体裁预测、语篇策略连续体及语篇结构图等各种语篇结构策略来帮助阅读的顺利进行。基于以上分析可以得出结论:基于篇章结构理论的阅读教学策略能够有效的提高高中学生的英语阅读能力。
