本研究主要為探討地球村英語學習雜誌讀者之閱讀策略使用情形。其中主要探討問題為 (1) 地球村英語學習雜誌讀者之閱讀策略使用頻率為何？ (2) 男性讀者與女性讀者所使用的閱讀策略是否有顯著差異？ (3) 不同年齡層的讀者之閱讀策略使用是否有顯著差異？ (4) 不同的英語學習年資的讀者之閱讀策略使用是否有顯著差異？ (5) 地球村雜誌裡的中文翻譯之角色為何？本研究的受測對象為125位地球村英語學習機構桃園與中壢分校的學員，本研究主要的研究工具為問卷及訪談。問卷包含閱讀策略問卷以及中文翻譯使用問卷，其中閱讀策略問卷主要根據Oxford(1990) 所提出的閱讀策略量表而編製，一共有六大策略33項黎克型測驗，而中文翻譯使用問卷是依照受試者的翻譯使用情形、對其依賴程度、排版偏好，以及受試者對雜誌中的翻譯品質的信賴度而編製；另外的工具為訪談，訪談問題一共有七個問題，受試者根據訪談問題回答出在閱讀雜誌時，雜誌裡的中文翻譯的使用情形以及其對受試者的影響。
本研究結果顯示在六大閱讀策略中認知策略最常被使用，另外在個別策略方面，標記及畫底線為最常使用的策略。另外本研究顯示閱讀策略在性別差異方面雖未達到顯著，不過整體而言女性讀者較男性讀者更常使用閱讀策略；另外閱讀策略的使用在不同年齡層的受試者有達到顯著差異，然而在不同英語學習年資的受試者並未達到顯著差異。在中文翻譯角色的探討中，發現中文翻譯可幫助讀者更加了解文章內容、提供讀者自行對文章翻譯後的範本，以及產生讀者過分依賴後的一種學習干擾。最後，本研究希望英語雜誌讀者以及學校教師能對閱讀策略有更深的認識並善用閱讀策略提昇英文閱讀能力，也希望雜誌出版商能更重視雜誌翻譯的排版方式及品質。

The present study was majorly aimed at investigating the EFL reading strategies employed by the GVO English learning magazine users in Taiwan. The research questions of the present study are: (1) What is the frequency of reading strategies employed by GVO magazine readers? (2) Are there any significant differences of reading strategy use between males and females? (3) Are there any significant differences of reader’s reading strategy use among different age groups? (4) Are there any significant differences of readers’ reading strategy use among the groups with different English study years? (5) What is the role of the Chinese translation in GVO magazines? The subjects are 125 members of Global Village Organization from Taoyuan and Zhongli branch schools. The two major instruments of the present study are questionnaires and interview guide. There were two parts of the questionnaires; one is about reading strategy use, while the other one is about Chinese translation use. The former was designed mainly based on Strategy Inventory for Language Learning (SILL) developed by Oxford (1990) and included six categories, from which 33 items were used. The latter was designed based on how the readers use the translation, their dependence on the translation, their preference of the translation’s layout, and the credibility of the translation in the readers’ mind. The other instrument was an interview guide. There were seven interview questions which were supposed to elicit the participants’ responses to the Chinese translation use in the magazines.
The results of the present study show that “cognitive” has the highest frequency in the six strategy categories; in terms of the individual strategies, the most frequently used one is marking and underlining strategy. In the individual factor aspects, the results show that despite the fact that generally females use more reading strategies than males, there are no significant differences in gender or English study years; nevertheless, there are significant differences in age.
As for the role of the Chinese translation in the magazines, it can be concluded that the translation can be a helpful assistant which can help readers gain more understanding of the content, a good examiner to examine how well a reader translate an article by themselves, but also an interrupter due to the readers’ over dependence on it. Finally, it is suggested that magazine readers apply more effective reading strategies and not depend on the translation too much while reading the magazines, that school English teachers integrate some reading strategies into their teaching, and that magazine publishers pay more attention to the quality and editing of the translation in the magazines.
