Abstract

Pae, Hye K., Rose A. Sevcik, Daphne Greenberg, and Sun-A Kim. 2016. Relationships among metacognitive skills, listening, and academic reading in English as a foreign language. Linguistic Research 33(Special Edition), 1-27. This study examined relationships among metacognitive skills, including inference, summarizing skills, fluency and memory, listening, and academic reading in English as a foreign language (FL). As a secondary analysis of the field test of the Pearson Test of English Academic, a total of 585 nonnative speakers’ academic language and reading skills were analyzed using confirmatory factor analysis. One-factor and four-factor models were tested using 12 observed variables and four latent constructs for structural equation modeling to establish a model of reading in English as an FL. The model of reading was tenable for nonnative speakers’ skills in English for academic purposes. Consistent with previous findings, listening skills were found to be important for reading skills. Other metacognitive skills, such as inference, summarizing, and fluency and memory, were also robust predictors of efficient academic reading. Of the given variables, the most dominant variable in FL reading for academic purposes was fluency and memory.

元认知技能与英语作为外语的听力和学术阅读之间的关系

潘慧凯，李建军，李建军，李建军。2016。元认知技能与英语作为外语的听力和学术阅读之间的关系。语言学研究33(特别版)，1-27。本研究考察了元认知技能之间的关系，包括推理、总结技能、流利性和记忆力、听力和学术阅读。作为Pearson test of English Academic现场测试的二次分析，我们使用验证性因子分析对585名非母语者的学术语言和阅读技能进行了分析。采用12个观察变量和4个潜在构念进行结构方程建模，对单因素和四因素模型进行检验，以建立英语阅读作为外语的模型。该模型适用于非母语人士的学术英语阅读技能。与之前的研究结果一致，听力技能对阅读技能很重要。其他元认知技能，如推理、总结、流畅性和记忆力，也是高效学术阅读的有力预测因素。在给定的变量中，以学术为目的的外语阅读中最主要的变量是流利性和记忆力。辛辛那提大学。乔治亚州立大学。香港理工大学

期刊介绍： Linguistic Research is an international journal which offers a forum for the discussion of theoretical research dealing with natural language data. The journal publishes articles of high quality which make a clear contribution to current debate in all branches of theoretical linguistics. The journal embraces both synchronic and diachronic perspectives, and carries articles that address language-specific as well as cross-linguistic and typological research questions. The journal features syntax, semantics, morphology, phonology, phonetics, and pragmatics and is currently published quarterly (March, June, September, and December), including the special September issue with a particular focus on applied linguistics covering (second) language acquisition, ESL/EFL, conversation/discourse analysis, etc. All submitted manuscripts are subject to initial evaluation by the Editors, and, if found suitable for further consideration, to double-blind peer review by independent expert referees.
