中文摘要：影响初中生英语阅读理解能力的因素主要包括语言因素和非语言因素两个方面。语言因素有词汇因素，句法因素和语篇因素。非语言因素涉及到智力因素，非智力因素，心理因素，社会文化背景和学习方法策略等。动机和态度是非智力因素的两个重要组成部分。研究表明，学习动机的高低直接影响学生的学习成绩，并且不少学生在经历过考试的失败后会采取消极的学习态度，因此，学生在英语阅读学习中保持一定的动机水平和积极的学习态度是非常必要的。

阅读方法和策略和教学建议是在分析影响初中生英语阅读理解能力因素的基础上提出的。教师在英语阅读教学中找到适合的教学方法对提高学生的英语阅读理解能力至关重要。学生熟练掌握和使用阅读策略是提高英语阅读理解能力的有效途径。
