Abstract: It seems that “read as much and often as you can” has become a platitude of English
teachers in colleges. But is that really true? Does reading help our language learning? This paper
will give you an answer. The main intention of this study is to make a research of the current
situation of extracurricular English reading in college, and find out their English reading habits in
order to give some suggestive proposals to the reform of teaching methods and the English
learning for the college students. In other words, it is in an attempt to explore the time students
spent on extracurricular English reading, their purposes of reading, the reading strategies they
usually adopted, and the problems they met while reading. We hope this paper can provide some
constructive suggestions on how to give guidance and help for college students while doing
extracurricular English reading。

能够帮助我们的语言学习吗？本文将就此给出答案。本次研究的主要目的是调查当今大学生
的课外英语阅读状况，了解他们的阅读习惯，进而可以为教学法的改革和大学生的英语学习
提出一些建设性的意见。换言之，本次研究旨在探索学生进行课外英语阅读的时间，他们的
