大学生英语语篇重复阅读的眼动研究

采用眼动追踪技术，考察重复阅读对母语为汉语的大学生阅读英语语篇的作用。研究采用2（目标词词频：高频、低频）×5（阅读遍数：1遍、2遍、3遍、4遍、5遍）的两因素被试内设计。结果发现：（1）随着阅读遍数的增加，读者的阅读理解正确率呈上升趋势，总阅读时间、注视次数、回视次数和平均注视时间显著降低，平均眼跳幅度显著增加；（2）阅读遍数与目标词词频的交互作用显著，表现为重复阅读对低频词识别的促进作用要显著大于对高频词识别的促进作用。研究表明重复阅读能够有效提高大学生对英语语篇的阅读效率。

Repeated Reading of English Passage for Chinese College Students: An Eye-Tracking Study

It is well accepted that students have difficulties in second language reading and the effective use of reading strategies may improve students' reading abilities. Repeated reading(RR) is an evidence-based instructional technique for improving reading fluency of poor readers in which they are required to read the same text multiple times until a certain level of fluency is reached. The present study explored the effect of repeated reading on second language readers. 50 students who were Chinese native speakers read one English passage embedded with high and low frequency words five times, during which their eye movements were recorded. Results showed that repeated reading facilitated the English passage reading of Chinese students, reflecting by shorter reading time, less fixations and regressions and larger saccade amplitude as the reading times increased. Besides, repeated reading effect made greater improvements on low-frequency words than high-frequency words. These findings have implications for instructions on second language reading.
