A Study of Applying the Theory of Neo-Gricean Conversational Implicature to English Reading Class

Abstract

According to the 2018 English Curriculum Standards, in the process of English teaching, students should not only develop their language ability, but also pay attention to their application of knowledge. As an important link in English teaching, reading plays a key role in developing students' core literacy. Through literature search and investigation, it is found that in the current English reading class, teachers still focus on the application of students' grammar knowledge, but ignore the improvement of students' culture, consciousness, thinking, quality and other aspects. Moreover, in the teaching process of reading class, sometimes students cannot understand the real intention behind the questions asked by teachers. Therefore, classroon questions needs to be improved. Through the observation and interview of teachers' questioning in class, this paper tries to understand the problems existing in teachers' questioning in English reading teaching at present, and puts forward corresponding solutions. I hope it will be helpful to improve the efficiency of reading teaching in the future.
