对母语阅读的广泛研究表明，流利性在成功阅读中起着至关重要的作用。然而，光靠流利并不能保证阅读成功。读者使用的认知和元认知阅读策略和图式在从文本中建构意义方面也起着重要作用。然而，大多数研究表明，如果没有快速准确的单词识别技能和阅读流利性，良好的阅读能力几乎是不可能的。因此，必须开发有效的方法来提高流利性。为了满足这一需求，泛读计划已经作为一种有效的方法在英语教学中得到了应用。另一种方法，重复阅读，似乎同样有希望。本研究的主要目的是探讨在听力阅读模式下辅助重复阅读是否以及如何提高英语读者的流利性。此外，还对日本大学生在复读和泛读方面的表现进行了比较，以期在阅读流畅性和理解力方面有所提高，并探索辅助复读所特有的一些特点。对受试者阅读行为的定量和定性分析表明，辅助重复阅读与泛读同样有效地提高了EFL读者的无声阅读率，并有利于影响学习者对阅读活动的看法。此外，研究结果还揭示了辅助重复阅读中的复述和听力成分在促进阅读理解中所起的具体作用。辅助重复阅读可以潜在地发展较弱的ESL/EFL读者的流利性，并通过提供一种独特的脚手架形式帮助他们成为独立的读者。
Extensive research on reading in a first language has shown the critical role fluency plays in successful reading. Fluency alone, however, does not guarantee successful reading. Cognitive and metacognitive reading strategies and schemata that readers utilize also play important roles in constructing meaning from text. Most research, however, indicates that good reading ability is virtually impossible in the absence of fast and accurate word recognition skills and reading fluency. Therefore, efficient ways of improving fluency must be developed. In answer to this need, extensive reading programs have been implemented as an effective approach in EFL settings. Another method, repeated reading, seems equally promising. The main objective of the current study is to focus on whether and how assisted repeated reading with an auditory reading model enhances EFL readers' fluency. Some comparisons of Japanese university students' performances in repeated reading and extensive reading programs are also made in an attempt to see gains in reading fluency and comprehension, and to explore some characteristics which are unique to assisted repeated reading. Quantitative and qualitative analyses of participants' reading behaviors suggest that assisted repeated reading is equally as effective as extensive reading in increasing EFL readers' silent reading rate, and favorably affects learners' perceptions of reading activities. Furthermore, the results indicate the specific role the repetition and listening components of assisted repeated reading play to facilitate reading comprehension. Assisted repeated reading can potentially develop weak ESL/EFL readers' fluency and help them become independent readers by providing a distinct form of scaffolding.
