摘 要

copyright paper51.com

阅读是英语学习中必须掌握的四项基本技能之一,也是大学生自学须掌握的学习策略和技巧。英语阅读能提高读者的听、说和写的能力。从对英语专业学生进行英语课外阅读习惯的问卷调查,现场观察等实证研究的结果来看,大部分英语专业学生没有良好的课外阅读习惯,从而提出英语专业的学生应该如何培养良好的英语阅读习惯。

1.Introduction

copyright paper51.com

 “Englishreading has always been considered one of the most important parts of foreignlanguage learning. Without reading, nothing can be done in the development ofthe competence in listening, speaking, writing and translating.” (Huang Ming, 2007) Sostudents are required to master the reading skills if they want to learn aforeign language well. Moreover, reading can enrich students’ knowledge, widentheir visions, and enhance their interest in English.

copyright paper51.com

paper51.com

Since reading is an essential part in Englishstudy, what is the nature of reading? Xu Xianming (2007) stated “reading is afundamental and necessary skill to anyone learning English as a foreignlanguage. Learners use reading as a tool for acquiring English and gathering information.”

http://www.paper51.com

copyright paper51.com

In the past, most English major students read Englishmaterials only for passing exams but do not read for pleasure. However, the situationchanges now. In order to become well-learnt people that the society needs, mostEnglish major students long for extensive English reading, hoping to dopreparation for the future job. Therefore, the majority of English majorstudents have strong motivation to read. Furthermore, their English readingmaterials gradually change from the paper materials to the electronic readingmaterials. But the most serious problem in their English study is readinghabits, that is, most of students do not have a good habit in their Englishreading. For example, many English major students take it for granted that theycould understand concepts or lessons by memorizing some English words andinformation rather than understand the ideas from the text. In this way, informationis retained mainly for the purpose of passing an exam.

2.Literature Review

内容来自www.paper51.com

 “Reading makes a full man”is a saying from the famous English philosopher Bacon (cited by Wang Shouren).  Before talking about English readinghabits, we should consider this question: What is English reading?

http://www.paper51.com

paper51.com

“Readingis a kind of important ability to the students. It is one of vital parts inEnglish teaching. Readingis not just the ability to recognize words, but the reader also needs tounderstand what he reads. Readingis also an active process, during which the readers try to understand themeaning of a given text”(Oxford Dictionary, 1997:1238). Reading involves guessing,understanding, predicting, checking, and asking oneself questions. At present, theEnglish reading process research mainly focuses on the interaction between thestudent and the text. According to the co-operative principle (the reader assumesthat he and the writer are using the same code; that the writer has a message;that the writer wants the reader to understand the message.), reading is aninteractive process (Christine Nuttall, 2002). “Actually,guessing the meaning based on the context is a better or more rewarding way.The reader can guess the meaning since any sentence, paragraph or even thewhole passage is a unity”(Luan Lan 2005, 3).RodEllis (2000) pointed out: “As a rule, while-reading should begin with a generalunderstanding of the text, and then move to smaller units such as paragraphs,sentences and words.” However, how to read a book? Thephilosopher Bacon said that some books are to be tasted,others to be swallowed, and some few to be chewed and digested. (cited by Wang Shouren) So weknow that reading is a vital part in our English study.

The good readinghabit is the effective aspect in English learning. However, the habit is abehavior of people when they do something. But some people even do not know whatare the bad reading habits ( Cao Lin, 2006). The bad reading habits are reading the materialword by word, paying too much more attention to details, overlooking the wholepassage, looking up the dictionary when meet the new word, ignoring to guessthe word meaning from the context, and reading the material loudly and re-reading. (Ma Jing, 2008) Besides these, as Nutgall (2002) says, students’native language reading habits can transfer to the second language reading. Butsome students do not read efficiently even in their L1, this hinders thedevelopment of efficient reading in the foreign language. So how to overcomebad reading habits, and how to develop good ones are the important respects inlanguage learning.

内容来自论文无忧网 www.paper51.com

(1) When seeking to improve any skill,it is important to have apositive attitude,to set clear goals,and to practice regularly. These elements are important for the Englishmajor students to foster their ability of English reading.

http://www.paper51.com

(2) Having an English book around oneself. Don’t go anywherewithout English reading materials. Keep English magazines or short Englishstories in one’s bathroom. Always have something in one’s bags to read. Keep anEnglish book by one’s bed. Arrange the books on the shelf that are easy toreach. Having things available makes it easier for one to steal otherwise lostmoments.

内容来自论文无忧网 www.paper51.com

(3) Setting an English reading goal. Determine how much timeone wants to spend on English reading, or how many English books one wants toread over time. The reader’s goal might be an English book per month, severalEnglish articles per week, or to read 30 minutes per day. When setting a goalor a target English book,it is important to choose something that will challenge the reader butwill not be so difficult as to discourage him.The reader had better-read Englishbooks within their comprehension level at the beginning. This will give thereader a solid foundation to build his confidence upon.

(4) Keeping a list. Make a list of English books one want toread in the future. Ask one’s friends and colleagues about what they arereading. Watch for recommendations in the English newspaper and Englishmagazines. Once one starts looking for good English books, he will find themeverywhere. By knowing what great stuff one want to read, one will reinforceone’s English reading habit.

(5) Listening when one can’t read. There are great Englishaudio versions of all sorts of books. Listening to radio also gives one theexperience, ideas, and imagination that reading an English book do.

copyright paper51.com

http://www.paper51.com

(6) Visiting the library or bookstore often. If the readerhas his own list, he will have some ideas of what he is looking for when hewalk in. If not, he can browse in the library or bookstore. It is also a greatway for the reader to find something interesting or new English books.

http://www.paper51.com

(7) Turning off the television. Many people say they justdon’t have enough time. Television is one of the major time consumers. Makeone’s television watching more conscious and less habitual. There is nothingwrong with one who watches his favorite TV programs. Actually, the time getslost when one turns the TV on and scans to find “something to watch.”

http://www.paper51.com

(8) Keeping a log. Keep a list of the English books one haveread, or keep track of how much time one read each day.

Practice makes perfect. There is no shortcut to foster the Englishreading except practicing again and again. It will be meaningless if Englishmajor students do not put theory into practice, so to develop a good habit inEnglish reading is important.
