摘要:大量的阅读对提高英语语言能力是非常有用的。近年来，不少学者对大学生英语课外阅读情况以及如何指导学生进行英语课外阅读等方面开展了不少研究，而对于西部欠发达地区英语专业大学生的英语课外阅读相关研究较少，为了更好地了解西部地方高校英语专业学生对课外阅读的认识和阅读基本情况，作者以XX学院为个案采用问卷和访谈相结合的方法进行了调查研究。研究结果表明：（1）大部分英语专业学生对英语课外阅读的重要性持积极态度,且阅读目的性强；（2）大部分学生阅读材料来源单一，且课外阅读量不大，在原著方面尤为突出；（3）大部分学生在课外阅读中最大的障碍是生词量；（4）大部分学生认同课外阅读对提高英语综合水平有促进作用。本研究结果丰富了英语教师和学生对课外阅读现状的认识，对于学生树立正确的学习观、教师探索更加有效的英语课外阅读方法予一定的启示。
