　　在任務(wù)型語言教學(xué)領(lǐng)域,作為任務(wù)的重要特征之一,任務(wù)復(fù)雜度備受研究者關(guān)注。近些年來,研究者們開展了大量的實(shí)證研究,探索任務(wù)復(fù)雜度對語言表現(xiàn)的影響。但到目前為止,這類研究主要集中于口語和寫作范疇,較少涉及閱讀等接受性語言技能。同時(shí),很少有研究探索語言焦慮等學(xué)習(xí)者個(gè)體差異對任務(wù)復(fù)雜度效度的調(diào)節(jié)作用。因此,本研究試圖探索任務(wù)復(fù)雜度與語言焦慮對高中生英語閱讀理解的影響。本實(shí)驗(yàn)以Robinson(2001a,2007a,2011b,2015)的“認(rèn)知假說”為理論基礎(chǔ),以60名高三學(xué)生為受試對象,歷時(shí)8周。參與者被隨機(jī)分配到簡單或復(fù)雜任務(wù)組,分別接受通過調(diào)節(jié)“-/+推理要求”(+/-reasoning demands)維度的不同閱讀訓(xùn)練。同時(shí),為了了解受試者的外語閱讀焦慮情況,研究采用《外語閱讀焦慮量表》,按測試結(jié)果,受試者被分為高焦慮組和低焦慮組。研究結(jié)果表明:任務(wù)復(fù)雜度作為一種閱讀教學(xué)處理方式,對高中生的閱讀理解有顯著的積極影響。具體而言,與接受簡單閱讀任務(wù)組相比,接受復(fù)雜閱讀任務(wù)組在閱讀理解方面有更大的提高。此結(jié)果證實(shí)了Robinson的認(rèn)知假說的預(yù)測。同時(shí),在完成復(fù)雜任務(wù)時(shí),參與者確實(shí)會感到...
