An Experimental Study On WCCC Teaching Method Of Senior English Reading

Reading teaching is one of the most important parts in Senior English teaching. For the purpose of improving the teaching of Reading in English, revealing the laws governing readers?development of thinking, solving the problems of spending much more time with a few achievements in senior schools?teaching of reading. We should advocate the approach of WCCC to remodel the past mechanical knowledge-based analytical teaching approach. While cultivating the students?linguistic competence, the teachers should also emphasise the importance of teaching them the non-linguistic skills. The paper establishes a teaching mode of English reading comprehension in accordance with Cognitive psychology and systematic Science, and sets WCCC to experiment. This paper discusses the problems students may encounter at the pre-reading stage, reading stage and post- reading stage. It also probes into the question on how to lead the students in applying to their reading through discourse and emphasises that reading can not be effective without cultural background knowledge which plays a very important role in understanding the context. It can bring along and accelerate the integral reform of the teaching of reading in Senior Middle Schools. WCCC stands for the first letters of Warming-up~. Comprehensive-reading~ Critical-reading and Creative-reading. In order to make a further test about the effect of the teaching method, to verify its rationality, feasibility and substantiality, I did an equivalent-group experiment which lasted a school term and a half. The demonstrating part recounts minutely each procedure of the 2 C demonstration of WCCC and the statistics of the results of the experiment. And I also briefly recommend the teaching principles and strategies WCCC uses in the analytical part of the operating systems. Its result shows that WCCC can improve the quality of English teaching and can especially make the average students and above learn English easier than before. The experiment also proved that WCCC is particularly effectual to improve the students?abilities in understanding English through contexts and develop their abilities in using the language synthetically. WCCC can free the students from the puzzle of examination-education and can also make the students get ideal results in exams. It can make the students learn in class actively and happily, It can make the students do reading more communicatively, critically and creatively. WCCC can be used with various forms of reading materials. Part four of this paper further discusses WCCC and its enlightenment to Senior English teaching of reading. At the end of this part, I rationally meditate on WCCC and enumerate the problems that still need to be improved, and formulates the further studies I am striving for. The questionnaire shows effectively that WCCC is highly valued by most of the students in the experimental group.
