摘要:英语阅读是英语学习者需要掌握的基本技能之一，在大学英语教学中占据十分重要的位置，但是现在中国的大学生在英语阅读中存在着不同程度的障碍，这些障碍也在不同程度上影响着他们英语学习水平的提高。而民办高校的学生在英语阅读障碍方面更加明显，民办高校的学生学习能力和自觉性比较差，基础薄弱，并且民办高校的师资力量也相对落后，所以了解学生的阅读障碍对于他们英语水平的提高有重大意义。

笔者在分析已有的研究基础上，以调查问卷和访谈的方式，对陕西国际商贸学院200名非英语专业大学生进行了影响英语阅读障碍的调查研究。通过对调查问卷以及访谈进行统计分析，研究结果如下：学生认为英语阅读最大的障碍是语法知识和词汇量，第二大障碍是背景知识，第三大障碍是文章难易程度和文章类型，第四大障碍是学习心理，第五大障碍是学习兴趣，障碍最小的是学习动机。

最后对论文进行总结，并提出相应的意见。
