Good afternoon, all appraiser committee members, Long time no see, Cedar Cai and zhou, so nice to see you all again. it’s my greatest honor to be here to present my research results to all of you I am **** and my supervisor is ***. With his encouragement and guidance, I have finished my paper. Here comes my presentation and any correction and suggestions will be warmly welcome.
The title of my paper is The Study of Network-based English Reading Teaching in Primary Schools Today I’m going to discuss three questions with you.
Why did I choose this topic for my study? How did I design my research? And What’re the results? And in my thesis,a nd I divide them into five chapters. First, why? Nowadays, some problems of the Eng lish reading teaching should be mentioned in regard to the large class of primary school teaching. Such as the low effectiveness of class management, the large restriction of communicating, in particular, one-on-one communication; and the actual teaching methods used by teachers, including the simple teaching form, the little information that is taught, the untimely feedback and the poor study effectiveness.
Concerning the above problems, I attempt to use the network environment to teach reading better in primary schools, Three research questions have been raised in the study:1)Does the Network-based reading teaching affect the students’ learning attitude?
2)Can the Network-based reading teaching raise the students’ learning interest? 3)Can
the Network-based reading teaching improve the student s’ English reading ability?
Under the guidance of Krashen’s Input H ypothesis, Krashen’s Affective Theory, the Constructive Learning Theory and the Cooperative Learning Theory, as well as on the base of the new English curriculum reform and the advantages of multimedia networks, I began to start my research, how did I do it?i selected 90 students in a primary school to do my research so that i can experience the theories. The students were divided randomly into two classes (the experimental class and the control class). And i gave two reading lessons per week in these two classes. it was an important job to select reading materials for implementing the reading activities and administering tests. i need to consider three aspects: language\length and interest. And I adopted On-line EFL at Elementary School as the basal material and some interesting reading materials from The PEP textbook were used as supplementary materials. All the experimental data were collected through different instruments:
A questionnaire was distributed to 45 students in experimental class; 90 students in Experiment Class and Control Class were required to complete the pre-test in order to investigate whether both classes were equivalent in previous reading.
