ESL/EFL泛读动机分析的个案研究

泛读动机，作为激发并持续泛读行为的关键因素，一直是ESL(English as a Second Language)/EFL(English as a Foreign Language)泛读研究领域的一个重点。然而，该领域大多数研究以群体为对象，未能对个人阅读动机进行详细记述。在两个学期的时间里，通过组织三次访谈以及定期测定阅读速度的方式，对两名中国非英语专业研究生ESL/EFL泛读动机进行了纵向个案研究。研究结果显示，受试者ESL/EFL泛读动机是一个动态的结构，在持续阅读过程中不断发生变化，泛读材料在培养积极的阅读态度从而激发阅读动机的方面具有重要地位。

Motivation in ESL/EFL Extensive Reading: A Case Study

Motivation, which is crucial to initiate and sustain reading efforts, has been studied in the field of ESL/EFL reading. However, most studies in this field are conducted collectively on groups of learners, failing to provide a detailed picture of individual experience. This paper presents a longitudinal case study on the reading motivation of 2 Chinese non English major graduates. During this two term study, the researchers conducted interviews for 3 times, and gave reading speed tests regularly. The results show that the ESL/EFL reading motivation of the 2 participants changed moment by moment, influenced by several factors. Reading materials play an important role in cultivating positive attitude and shaping intrinsic motivation.
