摘要: 对中国当代21位英语教育名家的叙事考查表明,研究对象主要通过大量阅读英语文学作品来发展和提高英语能力,其理据是:(1)文学作品以其丰富多彩的语言和百科知识为英语学习提供语言语境;(2)文学作品以其题材的多样性引发学习者的阅读意愿,调动学习者的认知能力,从而激活英语学习的内部语境;(3)阅读相伴、写作相随的阅读方法能够弥补英语学习外部语境的缺失。英语文学作品阅读以知识因素为引领,以情感因素和认知因素为双翼,以培养英语语感、增强学习后劲为目的,是中国学生英语能力可持续发展的有效途径。

Abstract: Based on the narrations of twenty-one contemporary distinguished English educators in China, it revealed that they developed their English language ability by means of reading lots of English literary works. The rationale behind this in English learning is that: (1) The colorful language and encyclopedic knowledge in literary works unfolds the linguistic context; (2) The variety of subjects in literary works intrigue the learners’ reading will and mobilize their cognitive ability, thus activating the intrinsic context; (3) Extensive reading, facilitated by pertinent writing, compensates for the lack of the extrinsic language environment. Driven by knowledge factors, sustained by affective and cognitive factors and targeted on the cultivation of language awareness and the increase of stamina in English learning, literary reading proves to be an effective way for the sustainable development of Chinese students’ English language ability.
