摘要
无论是在生活中还是在工作中,英语都得到广泛应用。
英语在中学教学中,也是一门很重要的学科,而作为一个英语学习者,听、说、读、写是其四项基本的能力很重要,尤其是英语阅读能力。
但是中学生的阅读能力并不理想,存在许多的问题。
本文首先探究了中学生在英语阅读中存在的问题,词汇贫乏,语法基础知识薄弱,缺乏对中西方文化背景的了解以及缺乏阅读技巧等,并分析其原因。
最后给出了解决对策,学生要从基础做好,积累词汇量,而老师应选好合适的阅读材料,注重中西文化结合的灌输,提高学生的几项关键的阅读技巧,如如何处理生词,如何利用浏览和跳读来提高阅读的效率等。
通过对中学生阅读问题的探讨以及对策的研究,解决中学生在阅读中存在的问题,达到提高中学生的英语阅读能力的目的。
