中文摘要:新课程倡导听、说、读、写这些技能的综合运用，而阅读是小学高年级学生英语学习的主要任务之一。小学高年级的学生已经有了一些英语基础，但是为了适应今后更高年级的英语学习，就要通过阅读的方式增加英语知识的输入量，所以阅读对于小学高年级的学生来说是非常重要的。可是在目前小学英语阅读教学中还是存在着一些问题，阻碍着学生阅读能力的提高和知识面的扩展。因此，本课题采用了课堂观察、调查问卷、访谈等研究方法，致力于探索如何为学生在课前、课中、课后搭建恰当的活动支架，从而将“支架式”教学模式应用于小学高年级英语阅读教学中，进而分析和讨论小学高年级英语阅读教学中“支架式”教学模式的应用方法以及该模式的可行性及有效性。数据统计结果表明，支架式教学法确实有助于更快、 更好地培养和提高学生的阅读技能和综合语言运用能力，并能促进教育教学的效率与效果的提高。
