The Importance of Extracurricular Reading in the English Learning of the Elementary and Secondary Students
I. Introduction
English has been emphasized a lot in China especially after stepping into 21st century, but nowadays English learning is facing an awkward situation. According by a research results made by Shanghai Foreign Language University, only about 5% college students can communicate with others freely without any obstacles. This is very embarrassing both for the learners and teachers. For the ordinary learners, their studying procedure is boring, tough and endless. Some even begins from kindergarten. Though many learners have put much energy and time on English, they still confront with “3 Can’t”, that is “can’t listen (can’t understand), can’t talk, can’t write”. This worrying situation also occurs in some English major students. The embarrassing situation of current English learning, to some extent, is a result of exam-orientated education. That kind of education is inefficiency because it neglects the traits of English.
As a language discipline differenced with ordinary courses, English has its own learning characters. Language is the best form of a culture. That determines that much related culture knowledge need to understand in order to learn English well. Language backgrounds, including history, behavior, traditions, celebrates, taboo, proverb and many other things, have important effect on English studying. It is hard to believe that one can learn English well without enough backgrounds. But this knowledge usually cannot get from the class teaching. That is why some experts contend that English cannot be taught seriously. 中小学英语学习中课外阅读的重要性:http://www.751com.cn/yingyu/lunwen_17024.html
