Chapter One Introduction

1.1 Background of the study 
With the rapid development of the economy and culture, English plays a crucial role in  international  communication.  Chinese  need  to  communicate  culture,  science,  and technology with foreign countries in English. Therefore, under this circumstance, it can be seen that learning English well is one of the most vital tasks for Chinese students. What’s more, among the four basic language skills, reading is considered to be the most important one in cultivating students’ integrated language ability. Hence, reading takes a considerable proportion in various examinations. Recently, in English teaching classes in junior high school, a large number of teachers spend  a  great  deal  of  time  and  energy  in  teaching  English  reading  by  traditional  teaching model. However, some problems still exist in the process of English reading teaching. For instance,  in  traditional  teacher-centered  teaching  class,  the  teacher  put  much  emphasis  on language  points.  On  the  one  hand,  the  teacher  introduces  new  vocabulary  and  explains grammar focus, and then, the teacher explains the literal meaning sentence by sentence or words  by  words.  On  the  other  hand,  the  students  just  listen  to  teacher’s  explanation passively  and  write  down  notes  mechanically.  In  the  reading  class,  the  teacher  plays  the dominant role, and the students receive knowledge under the teacher’s requirement. To be frank,  this  pedagogy  has  no  benefits  to  the  students’  ability  and  it  pays  more  attention  to grammar  analysis  rather  than  promoting  students’  English  reading  proficiency.  In  a conclusion,  the  traditional  teaching  model  leads  to  the  result  that  students’  enthusiasm, initiative and creativity can’t be aroused. Students depend on teachers’ instruction and lack the  learning  initiative  and  consequently  have  low  grades.  In  addition,  students  will gradually lose interests in English reading learning.

1.2 Purpose of the study 
The purposes of this study are following. The first one is to provide a more effective reading teaching method for junior high school students based on their cognitive styles and personality traits. As primary learners in English learning, junior high school students are skilled  in  considering  in  terms  of  images.  What’s  more,  junior  high  school  students  are adolescents, who are active and curious about novel things, so they prefer to explore new things by themselves and to involve themselves in the learning process. The second one is to  explore  the  effect  of  the  application  of  guided  learning  plan  teaching  本论文由英语论文网提供整理，提供论文代写，英语论文代写，代写论文，代写英语论文，代写留学生论文，代写英文论文，留学生论文代写相关核心关键词搜索。
