ABSTRACT

Traditionally, second language reading was considered as a simple passive decoding process. However, researchers began to study the issue from the psycholinguistic perspectives, and proposed the interactive approach to ESL reading. In this thesis, a brief review is made concerning the related theories. Some strategies are suggested to improve learners’ ability in top-down and bottom-up models. Finally, it is pointed out that these two models interact in the reading process, and therefore the teaching methods should also be applied in good combination to improve reading.
