The teaching ways of grammaticl and translated have already been insteaded by teaching ways of comprehantion and comunication in English teaching of middle school. When we train the students oral comprehention.we ought to train them to gain the reading comptehantion.
We should grasp this ability from very beginning.
We should increase both their speed in reading and also their pleasure in reading English.
Expecially we should give the students’ atmospheres for reading.(This is the nost important period in class. After this training, the students will feel a lot of knowledge is coming from this period.)
So we should pay most time in this period when we prepare our lessons.
I’m very sorry to write this passage in English and maybe there are some mistakes in it.Because I’m a teacher from Chinese.But I want to communicate with you.
Re: Developing Reading Skills in Class
It is nice to see your post here. If you have questions, or if you just want to practice your English, there are many people who use this board who will be glad to reply to you. You can also email any of us who post our addresses, if you want to ask us questions individually.
You have offered some good advise to us. I agree with you that we should not only focus on increasing the speed of reading but also on the pleasure of reading. Reading can be a pleasure and too often we teach it as a task rather than as a pleasure than can open many doors of understanding.
