Chapter One Introduction

1.1 Research Background 
English has become a lingua franca due to globalization. We learn English not only to communicate with native speakers  but also to communicate with people all around the whole world. Consequently, the impact of English in China is tremendous.  In foreign language learning, target language input is vital. Many linguists such as  Krashen,  Cook  and  Ellis  have  put  forward  theories  on  the  function  of  input. Among them, Krashen’s theory is the most influential providing guidance for college English teaching. In 1980s, he proposed the theory of input hypothesis which mainly concerns with the second language acquisition. In learning a second language, target language environment is essential. However, it is not commonly provided to learners in China, and most of their English learning process is realized in classrooms. Under these  circumstances,  the  main  target  language  input  is  reading.  Through  reading, learners obtain information and language knowledge. Reading,  as  the  main  input  way  of  language  learning,  is  a  complex  mental activity obtaining information from written language. Reading is also one of the most important  skills  in  language  which  can  enlarge  learners’  vocabulary,  improve  their competence  and  also  broaden  their horizon.  What’s more, through reading  learners can also enrich their cultural knowledge. So it is very important for English learners to build up  interests  in English reading and improve their reading ability to further contribute to English learning in every aspect.
