2.2 English Reading
Reading is the cognitive process of decoding symbols to derive meaning.English reading is one of the main channels through which we acquire informationand knowledge and is the ability which must be mastered by students in junior highschool. Different experts have different opinions on English reading.Psychologists focus on the inner psychological process of reading, because theyconsider reading as the interaction between people’s language and mind (HuangHeBin 1997). When reading, reader acquires some complex symbols from letters orsentences, choosing the most needed simple information; and then the information is processed by our brain; finally, it becomes something that we understand. Throughthis process, it is easy for reader to comprehend words. So psychologists hold theopinions that reading is the interaction between language and psychology (Skehan P2002).Language is the system of complex symbol and structure. Behaviorists considerreading as a language communication process. Symbols from the material motivateextensive absorption when we are reading (Schmitt N 1997). And reading is kind ofthe same like oral training, instead of that the objection is not human but readingmaterial.In the twentieth century, experts found out that English reading was notperceived accurately; this thought simplified reading (Kosslyn S M, Rosenberg R S2001). In their opinions, reading was that readers speculated the article with oldknowledge and saw if they were right or not. It needed us to think actively and usedour brains, so it was also called the guessing game. This thought was totally differentfrom traditional theories.
