An Analysis of the Influence of Different Ways of Context Construction on the Teaching Effect of Intensive Reading and Extensive Reading for English Majors

Abstract

Context construction can more effectively put students into the scene and deepen their understanding of reading. The cultivation of students’ comprehensive language use ability is the key teaching activity that English major teachers pay attention to. Language use is closely related to context construction, so it can be said that English teaching cannot leave context creation. In English class, 56.7% of the students have a deep sense of the teachers’ frequent use of context creation, English songs, using facial expressions to do gestures and using objects to create context accounted for 41.3%, 33.7%, and 33.2, respectively.

Aiming at the unreasonable design of context creation activities and other problems, this paper provides scientific strategies for teachers to start with modern English teaching. To promote students’ understanding of reading and analyze the teaching effect based on intensive reading and extensive reading so as to improve the teaching quality.
