Ⅰ.Thetheoreticalbasis
First,I’dliketoshowmytheoreticalbasis--schematheoryandtop-downmodel(Goodman,1971).JourneydowntheMekongisareadingcourse.Accordingtoschematheory,readingcomprehensionisaninteractiveprocessbetweenthereader’sbackgroundknowledgeandthetext(CarrelandEisterhold,1983),orbetweenthenewinformationandtheoldknowledgestore(AndersonandPearson,1984).Soinordertoimprovethestudents’readingspeedandreadingcomprehension,languageteachersshouldtrytoactivatetheSs’oldknowledgestoreandaddmorerelevantbackgroundknowledgebeforetheygetthestudentstoread.Accordingtothetop-downmodel,generalideaofthetextwillbegotfirst,andthencomethedetails.

II.Understandingoftheteachingmaterial
Myunderstandingoftheteachingmaterialincludes3parts:thestatusandthefunction,teachingobjectives,theimportantanddifficultpoints.
