1.       Teaching ideology

According to the National English Curriculum (NEC), the ultimate goal of English teaching is to achieve learners’ comprehensive language competence. All the teaching activities should be designed on the basis of the principle of learner-centeredness. The current theory views reading as an interactive process, which involves the printed text and the learners’ general knowledge of the language and of the world as well.

Based upon this understanding, in this class, the Interactive Reading Model is adopted to help learners to develop their reading strategies.
