中文摘要：近几年来，自然拼读法在中国俨然已成为一种广泛使用和备受赞誉的教学方法。自然拼读法遵循儿童发展特点及英语学习的规律，在英语阅读能力的提高上发挥着至关重要的作用。许多语言学家研究认为，任何一门语言的学习都不能与阅读割裂开来。学生的阅读水平在一定程度上决定了其语言学习水平。如今，一些专家学者认为掌握自然拼读法对于英语学习有很大裨益并视其为最有效的一种提高语言能力（尤其是阅读能力）的学习途径。尽管近几年来我们对于自然拼读法在英语阅读教学中的应用已有一定经验，但也仍存在一些容易忽略的问题。例如，学生音素意识的缺乏以及繁多复杂的发音规则大大增加了自然拼读法在英语阅读教学中的应用难度；教师甚至对自然拼读法的有效性有所质疑。因此，通过查找和分析整合相关的文献资料，本文将围绕自然拼读法在英语阅读教学中的应用问题，进一步揭露自然拼读法的价值作用，提出一些应用策略。通过引导多听、提供系统集中的训练及采取措施帮助教师树立教学信心，我们相信能够在一定程度上优化自然拼读法在英语阅读教学中的应用。
