Development of a teaching method and a supporting system for academic reading skills of engineering major students

工科专业的学生，英语阅读能力不强，很难高效地阅读英文论文。在我们的研究中，我们开发了一种教学方法和支持系统，以帮助这些学生提高阅读能力。教学方法以“学术阅读策略”为基础，采用略读和扫读的方法，在短时间内高效地阅读论文。该方法在工程专业学生参与的试点实验中得到了实施。支持系统在平板电脑上工作，便于根据策略进行学习。

Engineering major students, are not good at reading English, are difficult to efficiently read papers in English. In our study, we have developed a teaching method and a supporting system to facilitate such students to improve their reading ability. The teaching method is based on“academic reading strategy,”in which skimming and scanning are used in order to read a paper in short time and efficiently. The method was executed in pilot experiment in which engineering major students participated in. The supporting system works on a tablet PC and facilitates leaning based on the strategy.
