Foreign language teaching in senior high schools has gradually changed from emphasizing knowledge education to emphasizing applied education, paying more and more attention to cultivating students' understanding ability and emphasizing the learning effect of knowing and speaking. How to cultivate students' reading ability from an early age and improve their ability to analyze and solve problems is a subject that middle school English teachers are constantly exploring. At the same time, reading is also the most important thing in the exam. We must attach great importance to reading class, fully develop the potential of reading class, make effective use of reading class resources and improve students' reading ability through various methods. Many teachers are at a loss about how to teach reading well and don't know what to say in reading class. Or just translate articles and become a translation class; Either blindly talk about skills, first, reading itself does not have many skills to follow, and second, it is easy to lead students to the wrong path of opportunism; Or simply focus on the basic knowledge of words, sentences and grammar, while for other aspects, it seems that students' interest in learning English, their ability to think in English, the cultivation of language sense and even their attitude towards English learning are not carefully considered. So, how can we have a good junior high school English reading class? Let me tell you what I did. First, choose appropriate reading materials. 1, with moderate length. Time must be considered in classroom teaching. The article is too long to finish in class, the task in class is monotonous, and students are easy to get tired. Generally, senior one students are limited to about 500 words, and senior two students are limited to about 800 words. 2. The difficulty is moderate. According to the actual situation of students, don't overestimate their level, which will dampen their enthusiasm and enthusiasm for learning English. 3. readability. The article should be close to reality and conform to students' interests. It should be interesting, scientific and knowledgeable to satisfy students' curiosity. Second, master the key words and grasp the central meaning. 3. Find out the key words, understand and use them. The key from input to output lies in the solid accumulation of basic knowledge. Grasping and using key words is the capital of knowledge output. The words you need to master in this article are: pay attention to … pay attention to/point to … tell someone something by hand/shake hands and let students try to make sentences with these phrases, or make up a story to master the usage of these new words. 4. Summarize the article and repeat the main ideas. Grasp the central meaning of the article and form a complete impression. Summarizing the general idea in your own language is the output of finished products after thinking and the display of results after learning. First, divide the article into sections, find out the key sentences or summarize the main meaning in your own language. This article can be divided into three paragraphs. The second paragraph: Sign language is a language used by the dead. If the dead are not born dead, they can learn to speak. Third, dig deep into the theme and broaden the thinking.
