工作记忆与中国大学生英语阅读能力关系研究

发布时间：2024-02-27 15:51

　　英语阅读作为英语语言学习中最基本的技能之一,不仅对学生综合语言运用能力的提高有着重要作用,在培养学生批判性思维和国际视野方面也至关重要。然而,目前我国英语阅读教学方面存在诸多不足,英语阅读教学往往仅停留在语言知识层面,而未关注到深层次的认知因素。基于此,英语阅读教学亟待在认知层面进行改善。工作记忆是一个容量有限的认知系统,由于同时负责着信息的储存与加工功能,其在语言理解、学习和推理等复杂的认知活动中起着重要作用。而阅读理解作为一项复杂的认知任务,往往与信息的储存和加工紧密相连。因此,阅读理解的相关研究逐渐的与工作记忆相联系。上世纪八十年代,国外学者以工作记忆能力任务为基础,对工作记忆和一语阅读理解之间的关系展开了研究并取得了瞩目的成就。直到上世纪九十年代,一些外语研究者才开始关注工作记忆在外语阅读理解中的作用。因此,中国学者们起初也只关注于工作记忆与汉语阅读理解的关系研究,而对于工作记忆和外语阅读理解关系的专门研究则相对比较匮乏。总而言之,国内外的研究对工作记忆与外语阅读理解的关系尚未完全定论。此外,对于工作记忆的储存和加工两个成分之间的关系,国内外相关领域目前也未得出一致结论,二者间...
