我们为什么要进行阅读和阅读教学?事实上,阅读的目的不外乎两种,获得信息和求得理解(又叫构建意义)。当然如果我们的阅读仅仅是为了获得信息,那么, 心理学的研究表明,小学毕业的人已经完全具备这样的能力,我们在中学的阅读教学就显得完全没有存在的必要。而且电视、广播和网络等当代传媒在单位时间内所提供的信息量,已经远远超过文字阅读所能提供的量。因此,我们进行阅读教学的目的主要不是仅仅为了获得信息,而是要在获得信息的基础上求得理解,从而提升我们的阅读能力。 Why do we want to teach reading and reading? In fact, the purpose of reading is no more than two, access to information and understanding (also known as the construction of meaning). Of course, if our reading is only for information, psychology research shows that those who have graduated from elementary school are fully equipped with the ability to read teaching in our middle school and there is absolutely no need for it. Moreover, the amount of information provided by contemporary media, such as television, radio and the Internet, per unit of time has far exceeded the amount that can be provided by reading texts. Therefore, the main purpose of our reading teaching is not merely to obtain information, but to acquire understanding based on obtaining information so as to enhance our reading ability.
