Abstract
Teaching English in junior high school serves as a link between English in primary school and senior high school. It plays an important role from the top to the bottom and should not be overlooked. Reading is an important way to obtain effective information is the core focus of teaching in English. The influence of exam-oriented education in China shows many school teachers and parents have ignored the importance of comprehensive English skills and still choose traditional teaching mode and teaching methods: teacher-centered, passive acceptance of language knowledge by students (fill-in-the-blank teaching), where students’ active learning initiative and creativity are not met and developed, resulting in inefficient learning. The Problem Based Learning teaching method, a more popular teaching method in higher education, is widely used for the education of medical students. As a more efficient learning tool, it advocates student-centered learning, focuses on the improvement of students’ personal abilities and the acquisition of professional skills, breaks the confines of the traditional teaching model, and should be actively extended to the education system of general secondary schools. This paper explored Problem Based Learning, a problem-based teaching model, which was based on setting a situational learning environment where teachers adopt a problem-oriented approach to guide students in their learning so that they can give full play to their own potential. The teacher uses a problem-oriented approach to guide students through the learning process to develop their full potential in acquiring, processing, analyzing, solving problems, develop active learning habits. If this approach is applied to the teaching of English reading in junior high school, it can improve the quality of teaching, motivate students’ enthusiasm for learning, develop their comprehensive language skills, stimulate students’ learning initiative, expression, imagination, observation, innovation, and teamwork skills.
