1.Introduction1.IntroductionI have been teaching the students who are in their second year of a senior middle school.In myteaching Ive found there are some problems.Now Ill finish my study in Hunan Radio&TV University.Ihope I can solve the problems that have troubled me for sometime,through the action research so that I canapply my knowledge and theory into practice,which I learned from Hunan Radio&TV University.As an internationaland popularlanguagein the world,Englishis becomingmore and moreimportant.So people now are active in learning it.As we all know,the learners ability of reading willinterferetheir study directly.If the learnerscant read skillfully,they wont catch the main meaningcorrectly,clearly and quickly.Im an English teacher.In my teaching experience,there is one problem thatsome students don t like English and especially dont like reading.They think it is difficult to reading well.They think it is hard to read some long pieces of passage.2.Problem2.ProblemAs we all know,there are four skills in leaning English,they are listening speaking reading andwriting.When the learners have learnt for some time,you must learn to read.This is the rule of leaning alanguage.But the problem in my teaching is that most of my students ability of reading is poor.They areafraid of reading in their mind.They dont know how to do when they meet new words withoutdictionaries.They have some bad rabbits in reading.3.Problem analysis3.Problem analysisIn my teaching,the problem identified was really a serious problem.My preliminary research confirmedthat there were five main reasons that accounted for students reluctanceto do the reading workassignments in and out of class.Firstly,some students did not feel interested in practicing reading in and after class.They thoughtthey could not catch the main idea of the article.Secondly,some students had some difficulties in reading.So they hoped their teacher can explain it to them in detail.Thirdly,most students felt overloaded becauseof heavier homeworkassignments.Fourthly,most studentscant master reading skills.Fifthly,moststudents have a few words and phrases.Sixthly,they have some weakness in reading habits.The problem had been troubling me for a long time and now I was determined to find a solution tothe problem.4.Project objective4.Project objectiveMy research objective is to improve my students reading ability by practicing reading skills.5.Project hypothesis5.Project hypothesis1/3It is hypothesized that if my reading teaching is better practiced and designed,then the studentsreading ability will be improved accordingly.6.Project rationale6.Project rationaleReading ability can be improved in the activity in class.These classroom activities often take placein pairs or together.1 Peer checkPeer check is very important and useful.In case one student is at a loss to read a passage or he likesto read aloud or word by word,which is not good at reading,the other students can remind him of these badhabits and help him.I usually assign students to work in pairs.In this way I think there are advantages.First,this can trainthem for teacher-independence learning in pairs.Second,it stimulates the students to study more,becauseno one is willing to lay behind others.2 Teacher checkWhat happens if the teacher feels a mistake should be corrected,but if the student who made amistake can not correct it,and if at the same time no other student seems to able to correct the mistake.Teacher check is necessary.Sometimes they really cant get any useful information in a reading material,the teacher can give them clues or hints until they know what to do.In my action research,I apply some methods to improve my students reading ability.7.Reading work Design7.Reading work DesignMy hypothesis is that learners reading skills in practice after class are increased by better-organizedactivities.Moreover,my new assignment activities should have a real information value so that studentscan improve their abilities to read.I designed four activities to be tried out in four weeks.And these activities are reported as follows.Week 1Activity 1This activity is based on Unit5,Grade8 students Book A,Go for it!Purpose:to enlarge the students vocabulary.Instructions:Students worked in groups to deal with the words offered by teacher.Procedure:First ask the students to read the passage,listen to the teachers requirement carefully.Then I asked the students to write down different forms of the word vary which appeared in the text usingthe rules of word formation and tell the meaning of the word belongings and others by guessing fromcontest clue and from the words around it.After 5 minutes,check the answers with the students.2/3For students:The students had to work in groups.They could discuss with each other.Week 2Activity 2Purpose:to help the students form a good reading habit.Instruction:Give the students a passage to read following the teachers requirement,and get them toanswer some questions.Procedure:First I gave the students an English passage with three questions on it.Then ask them toread it in limited time.During this period,I explained some good habits of reading for them to follow.Finally checked the answers with individual to see who could give better answers.For students:They should read the questions first and then read the passage carefully.Answer thequestions with the methods given by teacher.Week 3Activity 3Purpose:to arouse the students interest.Instructions:I prepared some interesting English stories for the students to read.Then does some pairwork.Procedure:First I told them what to do in this class.I handed out a card with a story on it to onestudent,and gave another card with some questions on it.After the first student read the story for severalminutes,the second student asked him,some questions listed on his card to know the main idea of the story,then another requirement.For students:The students had to work in pairs.Week 4Activity 4Have a discussionPurpose:to improve reading techniques.Instruction:In this lessonfirst I got studentsto discusshow to read effectivelyby
