摘要(Abstract)：
KWL策略于上世纪80年代提出,是当前美国阅读课堂广泛使用的导读策略。KWL过程反映了语言习得的基本认知过程,目前已经渗透MnSCU写作课堂,成为一种写作教学策略。国外一些教学研究者对该策略进行了相关的介绍和研究。尽管国内许多教材和课堂教学的导入活动源自类似的思路,但KWL作为语言学习的策略理论并未引起国内外语界的学术兴趣。因此文章以具体教案为例,通过教学实践尝试,对如何在非专业英语课堂教学中整合运用KWL导读策略和导写策略,以及学生的接受情况进行了相关研究,相信本研究对充分发挥KWL教学思路的潜在效益具有一定的启示。
The Know-Want-Learn(KWL) strategy,advanced in the 1980s,is an instructional reading strategy widely used in reading classes in the USA.The KWL process reflects the cognitive process in language acquisition,and it is currently used in the writing classes on Minnesota State Colleges and Universities(MnSCU) campuses as an instructional writing strategy.Relevant studies on this strategy have been reported by some overseas educators.Though such lead-in activities as warm-up or pre-reading derive from similar instructional schemes,KWL has not so far drawn academic attention from the foreign language teaching community in China.This paper,taking a lesson plan as an example,attempts to illustrate a manageable way to integrate the KWL reading strategy and writing strategy in English language teaching for non-English majors(hereafter referred to as "ELT for non-majors").The learners' response to the KWL instructional scheme will be included in this research.It is hoped that this strategy can be brought into full play in ELT for non-majors.
