如何培养千词文阅读能力?
千词文突然成为一个阅读话题。
浙江高考已多年设计一篇略长一些的文章作为阅读材料,短文与试题超过1000词。
千词文阅读材料在英语测试中已经很普遍,IELTS的阅读基本都是1000多词的,我国香港的HKDSE英文试题的阅读材料也基本都是1000词。
我们做过小实验,千词文的阅读,对于我国绝大多数高中学生,存在普遍的阅读焦虑,一是读到300来词就往往出现阅读理解瓶颈,阅读焦虑上升,二是读完短文后往往不能记住短文要点,前面的内容,做题时感觉难度太大。
当然,我们也发现,基础很好的学生对此没有显著不适。
为此,我们请大家讨论:
对于基础中等、基础中等偏弱的学生,千词文阅读难度在哪里?
如何帮助这些学生开展千词文阅读训练?
在日常教学中,如何培养学生较长语篇的阅读能力?
我们提供了千词文阅读试题案例,但我们的讨论不只是拘泥于考试、应试,而希望涉及到千词文阅读的各个方面。
谢谢大家!
