Abstract

Developing students’ thinking qualities, especially higher-order thinking ability, is an important goal of English teaching, and the English Curriculum Standards put thinking quality in an important position. Discourse teaching has its own advantages in cultivating students’ higher-order thinking, and integrating high-order thinking into senior high school English discourse teaching is also the pursuit of English teaching values under the background of core competencies. This article identifies some problems that are not conducive to the development of students’ high-order thinking ability in current high school English reading teaching, and probes into the strategies of discourse reading teaching design to promote the development of students’ high-order thinking ability by integrating question formats from the College Entrance Examination English reading comprehension section with textbook materials.
