A Discussion of Linguistic Factors Relating to English Reading for Chinese Mongolian Students
Abstract
The primary goal of this paper is to have a discussion about the main linguistic factors that have great influences on Chinese Mongolian students’ reading ability. The paper firstly gives a brief introduction of the teaching objectives and patterns of English reading, and then the teacher makes a survey to find out the obstacles that students may encounter in linguistic respects such as vocabulary, grammar and discourse .After that, the teacher attempts to analyze the important parts these factors play by taking a few examples. In addition to this, the teacher also proposes some effective and suitable reading skills and strategies to help students deal with the problems in their reading process. In this way, the teacher aims at seeking out the appropriate reading methods for Chinese Mongolian students.
