Good morning, ladies and gentleman. Today, I feel honored to have the chance to share my ideas about how to teach reading.

In the reading process, I will focus on students’long-term development and enable them to use proper reading skills and strategies. In other words, students are guided to read efficiently and independently.

My teaching plan will include 3 sections. They’re analysis of the reading material, identifying the teaching aims and teaching procedures.

Section 1 Analysis of the teaching material

The selected teaching material is a magazine article taken from the Project section of Module 11, Unit 2 of Advance with English. The article is about British students who take a gap year, which is intended to develop the theme of the unit, that is, Getting a job. After analyzing it carefully, I find the article has two unique characteristics. First, it’s a long passage with 688 words, much more than the usual texts. Second, it deals with a new topic, that is, a gap year. The topic is unfamiliar to most students.

Section 2 Indentifying the teaching aims

Based on the analysis of the teaching material, I have chosen the following as the teaching aims of my lesson:

The 1st aim: Students learn the skills and strategies to read a prolonged text.

The 2nd aim: Students get a better understanding of what a gap year is.

The 3rd aim: Students are encouraged to figure out the implied meaning.

The 4th aim: Students are familiar with various expression_r_r_r_r_rs or approaches to express the same thing or idea.

Section 3 Teaching procedures

In order to achieve the teaching aims mentioned above, I decide to choose guided reading and Task-Based Teaching as the main teaching approach. With the teaching methods, I can guide students to use effective reading strategies to comprehend the text, solve problems and complete different tasks. The teaching procedures include four parts. They’re getting ready, focusing on main facts, reading between the lines and responding the text.

Part 1. Getting ready

Reading begins before a book is opened. It’s important to activate students’existing background knowledge and draw their attention to the topic of the text. In this part, I will use the pre-reading activities to increase students’concentration, arouse their curiosities, fire their imagination and give them a purpose for reading. The part consists of two tasks:

Task 1: A time machine. I start my lesson by asking senior 3 students what the date is. Then, I go on to show a picture of a time machine. I tell students that the machine with a magic power will bring them to their graduation from high school, which is 1 year away. At that point, I get them to imagine where they are and what they are doing. After it, I give a summary of their presentations as follows: After leaving high school, most of Chinese students go straight to university.Yes, at this time next year, most of you will be studying in a university.

(With the task, I inspire students’former knowledge and imagination about graduating from high school and going to college, which can draw their attention to the theme of the reading material and get them ready for the following reading.)

Task 2: Brainstorming. After the summary, I go on to show some more pictures of British students fresh from high schools, and tell
