從哈利波現象我們能學到什麼？

What We Can Learn From Harry Potter Phenomena?

哈利波特最神奇之處應該是他在短時間內提昇了美國學童的閱讀能力，許多閱讀者不但在極短的時間內完成好幾百頁的故事內容，並且迫不及待的重複閱讀。此種自發性閱讀、快速閱讀及重複閱讀的現象印證了長久以來研究學者所提倡的一些閱讀理論。本文擬以一閱讀課，應用哈利波特現象所呈現的自發性閱讀、暢讀及重複閱讀現象來探討課程設計的實際效果及困難。本文旨在探求學生永續閱讀所需要的動機及能力，並提供另一種英文閱讀教學的可行性。

The magic of Harry Potter, in terms of reading improvement, is that it promotes reading ability of American children in a relatively shott time, which was what reading teachers have long been searching for. These young readers rauding through hundreds of pages of the book can't wait to read the book second or third time within a week. The phenomena of a voluntary, fluent-like, and repeated reading behaviors has been consistent with some of the theories that reading researchers have been advocating. Applying these three phenomena, the author attempted to design a reading curriculum to investigate the tentative outcomes and difficulties of a ''simulated'' Harry Potter phenomena in the classroom setting. It is aimed to look for the motivation and the threshold competence of a lasting reading behavior outside the school as well as an alternative reading instruction inside the classroom.
