内容简介
《朗读与外语能力测量（英文版）》是“当代外国语言文学研究前沿文库”系列之一，对朗读这一测试任务，特别是中国外语学习者的朗读行为，进行了全面详细的研究，旨在揭示朗读与外语能力测量的关系，以使朗读题型得到合理的利用，更好地服务中国英语教学。整个研究分三阶段进行；阶段是理论基础研究阶段，目标是构建朗读能力成分模型；第二阶段是在理论研究的基础上设计朗读测试；第三阶段实施了以中国英语学习者为对象的朗读实验，实验收集了125名外语学习者的朗读录音，并进行了转写、标注和评分。在学术思想上，《朗读与外语能力测量（英文版）》对于朗读者的心理、生理传递过程的分析及对其朗读能力成分的剖析，鲜见于以往同类研究，具有理论的新颖性与探索性；本研究采用的朗读测试设计方案和基于错误赋码的评分方案，是靠前该领域的次尝试性讨论，是对新方法的探索；本研究所收集转写的125名学生朗读录音及所有的语音转写文本，可作为朗读方面的数据库、索材库，是对目前学习者数据库的有效扩目录
