英语阅读作为高校英语专业的理实结合基础课,是一门有较强的技巧性、抽象性、思辨性和实践性的课程,但实际英语阅读教学往往过多专注于阅读技巧的训练和实践,将技能习得和知识探究割裂开来,进而忽视了学生思辨能力的培养与发展。本文通过以基础+驱动、假设+命题、反思日记等有效方法,以期培养、提高学生英语阅读时的思辨能力和语言综合应用能力。 English reading, as a combination of the practical courses of English majors in colleges and universities, is a course with strong skills, abstractness, speculativeness and practicality.
