完形填空测试策略训练对中学生完形阅读理解的影响

论文摘要

本文在简要介绍了完形填空的概念，理论和完形填空的重要性的基础上，介绍了测试策略和完形填空解题策略的概念；但文章主要报告了针对中考完形填空的考查点，对中学生进行的完形填空解题策略训练的研究，目的在于帮助学生了解完形填空解题策略和解题过程，以提高中学生完形填空的理解能力和解题技巧。本文以完形填空测试，英语测试，学生访谈，问卷调查为工具，运用定量的和定性的研究方法，分析了策略训练对中学生完形填空理解能力和总体英语水平的影响。结果显示策略教学有效地提高了完形填空水平和阅读速度，极大地增强了中学生的语言知识和总体阅读能力，提高了他们的总体英语水平。在语篇题，超篇题和元认知策略题中取得显著成效，而词汇题和句法题实验组和参照组都取得了显著成效。此外，问卷调查和学生访谈显示，中学生对完形填空策略了解甚少，实验后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中学英语课堂阅读教学。
