元认知策略的训练在英语阅读教学中的应用

论文摘要

《中学英语教学大纲》明确指出,高中英语教学应"侧重培养阅读能力"。在英语阅读教学活动中,如何有效地引导学生阅读,已成为英语教师急需解决的一个重要课题。众所周知,学习策略是第二语言习得研究的一个重要方面,而关于元认知策略的研究更是重点。元认知策略是关于认知的认知,早在70年代初,率先由美国心理学家Flavell提出。元认知是认知主体对自身心理状态、能力、任务目标、认知策略等方面的认识,以及自身各种认知活动的计划、监控、评价和调节。元认知的应用能更有效地帮助学生进行英语学习。本文就当前高中学生普遍存在的英语阅读速度慢,阅读能力弱的现象着手,从元认知策略的内涵出发进一步阐述元认知在英语阅读教学中所起的重大作用,通过实验的方法对学生进行元认知策略的训练。有关元认知的理论和实验的研究表明,元认知策略的培养是提高英语阅读教学的有效途径之一。
