阅读是一种人类活动,其对社会的进步和发展都起着重要的作用。英语的阅读不仅成为人们获取信息,扩展知识的方式,更成为外语教学的必修课程。而如何提高英语的阅读质量和速度也成为英语教师教学的关键一环。本论文从心理语言学的角度就阅读的本质进行探讨。希望能对英语阅读教学有所启发,同时希望给英语学习者以启示。 Reading is a human activity that plays an important role in the progress and development of society. English reading not only becomes the way for people to acquire information and expand knowledge, but also becomes the compulsory course of foreign language teaching. How to improve the quality and speed of English reading has also become a key part of teaching English teachers. This thesis explores the nature of reading from the perspective of psycholinguistics. I hope I can inspire English reading teaching, at the same time I hope to enlighten English learners.
