A Study On The Application Of Production-oriented Approach In Senior High School English Reading Teaching

With the deepening of quality education and the continuous reform of College Entrance Examination,reading has become an important part of the high school students’ English Academic Proficiency test and the College Entrance Examination.English reading ability has also become the key to measure the learners’ English level.Therefore,reading teaching has become the focus of English teaching in high school.However,at present,PWP reading teaching mode is still widely used in high school,that is,the learning process is divided into three stages: pre-reading,while-reading and post-reading.The teaching mode has been used for a long time,the teaching steps are clear,and the teaching tasks are easy to complete,so most teachers are used to following it.However,the teaching mode is relatively monotonous,and pays more attention to the explanation of text knowledge and the mechanical completion of the exercises after class.As a result,most students lack interest in English reading and their reading score is not ideal.In contrast,this paper applies the teaching mode based on the Production-oriented Approach to the teaching of high school English reading,in order to achieve better teaching effect in stimulating students’ interest in reading and improve their reading score.In this study,105 students from two classes of No.4 Middle School in Yan’an City were selected for one semester of reading teaching.The experimental class was taught by Production-oriented Approach mode,and the control class was taught by conventional reading teaching mode PWP.Before and after the one semester experiment,the author conducted a questionnaire survey and a reading test for both classes.The purpose of this paper is to explore whether the Production-oriented Approach can stimulate high school students’ interest in English reading and improve their English reading score.The research draws the following conclusions: compared with the conventional teaching method,the application of Production-oriented Approach can make students more active in English reading learning,can pays more attention and more involved in reading class,and have more confidence in improving their reading level.Compared with the previous monotonous class made,students are more aware of the interest and variability of reading class,which makes them more interested in English reading.Through the comparative analysis of the pre-test and post test results of the experimental class and the control class,it is found that the English reading score of the experimental class has been significantly improved after one semester of Production-oriented reading teaching,which shows that the method is helpful to improve English reading score of high school students.
