Abstract

As is known, English reading not only occupies all kinds of tests, but it is also an essential way for students to acquire knowledge, to accumulate vocabulary, to familiarize syntactical structure, to obtain new information and to develop students’ critical thinking ability. Therefore, English reading teaching has been gaining increasing attention in foreign language teaching. With the reference of Kumaravadivelu’s post-method theory, this paper adapts post-method approach to college English reading teaching creatively, and establishes a post-method reading framework, aiming to improve teaching efficiency, stimulate students’ reading motivation and cultivate their critical thinking skills.
