Probing into Improving Students' English Reading Ability

――Enlarging Vocabulary

Abstract This essay offers a detailed report of project intentionally designed to solve the problem that most of my students who in fact are poor in reading while they don't like reading practice. In the meanwhile， It is hypothesized that my students expand their vocabulary， then they will improve their reading ability. This hypothesis is verified by two weeks' classroom teaching with the newly-designed vocabulary practice aiming to improve students' reading activities. Methodologically，analytic method，Socratic dialogue，reason analysis and questionnaire survey of four methods.

Key words Probing; Expanding vocabulary; Improving; English reading ability

1 Introduction

With the development of electronic times， audio and vision enjoyment becoming the first choice， many people believe that we are moving rapidly away from reading as a necessary life skill.

Why our students don't like reading practice， while others do？

◇Who are the students that don't， while the others that do？This prompted me to make a chain of reflections. I really want to know why it should be so， whether they think it important and necessary to practice reading or not？ If my students know the importance of reading comprehension then the problem might be due to me， not my students. Maybe I assigned my students to read to do was poorly organized or the topic was not novel. Now， I have finished the problem by the Analytic Method. Then I try to give it a further investigation by making a Socratic Dialogue.
