摘要

本研究探讨了沙特阿拉伯年轻英语学习者的语音意识与单词阅读流畅性之间的关系。30名年轻的沙特英语学习者完成了两项测试。第一个测试包括25个与语音意识有关的问题。在第二个测试中,学习者被要求在一分钟内阅读一系列英语单词,并根据他们每分钟阅读的单词数量给每个学生一个分数。学生们在两项测试中的得分都相对较低,这表明他们在语音意识上存在缺陷,在单词阅读上存在困难。然而,回归分析表明,只有音位水平上的语音意识才能显著预测学生在单词阅读流畅性测试中的表现。研究结果清楚地表明,沙特的英语学习者可以从音位意识训练中获益,未来的研究应该实证地检验其在提高沙特英语学习者阅读流畅性方面的潜力。

Phonological Awareness and Word Reading Fluency Among Young Saudi Learners of English
The current study explored the relationship between phonological awareness and word reading fluency among young Saudi English as a Foreign Language (EFL)learners. Two tests were completed by thirty young Saudi EFL learners. The first test comprised 25 questions related to phonological awareness. In the second test, the learners were asked to read a list of English words in one minute, and each student was given a score based on how many words they read per minute. The students scored relatively low on both tests, indicatinga deficiency in phonological awareness and difficulty in word reading. The scores in both tests were significantly correlated, however, a regression analysis showed that only phonological awareness at the phonemic level was a significant predictor of the students’ performance in the word reading fluency test. The results clearly indicate that Saudi EFL learners could benefit from phonemic awareness training, and future studies should empirically examine its potentialfor improving Saudi EFL learners’ reading fluency.
