THE ROLE OF THEORETICAL APPROACHES IN EFL READING STRATEGIES.

Abstract

Reading as a way of teaching English. Scientists and linguists who study language and live in the modern world define the term “reading” - as the relationship between the reader and the text. Linguists believe that mastering such a communicative skill as reading requires extensive and versatile knowledge about the world and about a given topic, as well as perfect knowledge of the language. According to linguists-educators, reading requires extensive background or, as they are called, basic knowledge, as well as specific skills and abilities in order to understand texts.
