摘要

虽然在许多教育环境中,阅读圈被用来促进广泛阅读,但在研究不足的英语作为外语的背景下,对更高水平的阅读参与的研究仍处于起步阶段。因此,本研究考察了提高学习者在泛读任务中的参与水平的因素。我使用学习者日记收集了60名在马里学习英语作为外语的本科生(19-23岁)的数据。研究结果表明,具有积极规范、在任务过程中行为改变(例如,为实现一个重要的学习目标而付出非凡的努力,如阅读完整个故事或一本小说)以及完成阅读任务后的享受的有凝聚力的群体,与这些学习者在广泛阅读中的高参与度相对应。虽然本研究的结果只针对一组语言学习者,但它们仍然可以应用于其他英语情境下的课堂干预计划,以促进学习者的阅读参与。

Reading Circles: Triggers for Increased Engagement of EFL Learners in Extensive Reading
While reading circles have been utilized to promote extensive reading in many educational settings, studies on higher levels of reading engagement in under-researched, English-as-a-foreign-language contexts are still in their infancy. Therefore, the current study examines the factors that increase learners’ levels of engagement in extensive reading tasks. I used learner diaries to collect data from 60 undergraduate students (ages 19–23) learning English as a foreign language in Mali. The findings suggested that cohesive groups with positive norms, behavioral changes during the task (e.g., investing an exceptional effort to achieve a significant learning goal, such as reading an entire story or a novel), and enjoyment after completing a reading task corresponded with these learners’ high engagement levels in extensive reading. Although the findings of this study are specific to one group of language learners, they can still be applied to plan classroom interventions in other EFL contexts to promote learners’ reading engagement.
