They had difficulties in understanding the text as a whole. They didn’t know how toinfer something from what they had read. After reading a text, they could answer correctly only5--6 out of the ten questions following it. Questions like "What is the author’s attitude?""What is the tone of this article?"or "How has the author organised his essay?" were difficultfor them.This article aims to present some suggetions for developing student’s reading skills.展开更多

However, the phenomenon of rigid uniformity in teaching process is still commonly seen, neglecting the individual discrepancy of students. The individual discrepancy is manifested by both the congenital heredity and the acquired disposition. Supported by the Chinese traditional theory of teaching students in accordance with their aptitude and Vygotsky's "the zone of proximal development" theory, this paper illustrates the importance of paying attention to the individual discrepancy from the perspective of students' growing background and personality. In addition, standing on the point of view of relevant authority and English teacher, the author tries to put forward some countermeasures.展开更多
