4.1.1  Students’ Basic Information

Chapter 5  Conclusion

5.1 Major Findings

In this research, in order to know the situation of English graded reading in foreign language  middle  schools  in  Shanghai,  research  methods  like  questionnaires  and interview are used for the purpose of exploring the effects of English graded reading carried out by school, the changes in students’ reading ability, and the difficulties that students are confronted with. After analyzing the collected  data and information,  the major findings are listed as follows.

Firstly, the foreign language middle school selected for this study accords utmost priority to cultivating the students’ reading ability by carrying out graded reading, and provides sufficient, comprehensible and high-quality reading resources for the students at  different  reading  levels.  The  designed  teaching  methods  have  effectively  helped students improve their reading ability. Meanwhile, teachers are full of enthusiasm for teaching  English  reading,  and  they  are  ready  to  help  their  students  to  cope  with  the problems they meet with during the reading process. However, the students’ comments on the assessment program set by the school  are mixed. Although the students admit that the assessment can help them improve reading efficiency, it cannot improve their reading interest to a certain extent.

Secondly, English graded reading has  greatly improved students’ reading ability and  reading  character,  and  has  helped  students  gain  a  clear  understanding  of  the importance  of  English  graded  reading.  English  graded  reading  can  not  only  broaden students’ international horizons, but also improve students’ overall English proficiency significantly  in  terms  of  reading  speed,  vocabulary,  reading  comprehension,  etc. English graded reading is also a very effective means to increase students’ interest in English.

Thirdly,  through  investigating  students’  reading  habits,  conclusion  can  be  made that  students  are  generally  introverted  and  tend  to  do  it  alone  when  doing  English graded reading. They are not reluctant to share reading materials and reading experience with  each  other.  Meanwhile,  although  most  of  the  students  adopt  effective  reading methods  such  as  skimming  and  guessing  the  meaning  of  new  words  based  on  the context, some of them have not got into such good reading habits as taking notes and summarizing  after  reading,  which  will  hinder  the  development  and  improvement  of their reading ability. 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。
