如何運用“圖式”理論指導高中英語閱讀教學
摘 要：閱讀教學是高中英語教學的重要組成部分。英語閱讀對學好英語非常重要。但長期以來，由于受傳統教學法的影響，不少教師對閱讀理解的錯誤認識導致了許多高中生只重視詞、句、語法等語言知識的學習，而忽視了與閱讀理解密切相關的背景知識的學習。那么如何更好地提高英語閱讀能力，取得更好的英語閱讀教學效果呢？運用“圖式”理論來指導英語閱讀教學不失為一劑良方。文章闡述了“圖式”理論的基本觀點，并在現有的研究成果基礎之上，結合當前高中英語閱讀教學的實際，分析和探討了“圖式”理論對高中英語閱讀教學的指導意義，進而指導學生正確地運用“圖式”理論，幫助他們提高英語閱讀效率、提升英語水平。正確運用“圖式”理論無論是對教師的英語教學還是對學生的英語學習都大有裨益。
