Conclusion and suggestion for further research
To sum up, it has to be pointed out that if teachers know how to make good use the of 288 pre-reading stage and the while-reading stage to raise questions, to offer background information, to solve problems concerning lexical, syntactic, discourse and sociocultural dimensions, this will help learners initiate post-reading discussions.Students may become more interested in what they are doing and their attention would be heightened since these activities will create a vivid classroom atmosphere and enrich their prior knowledge. What is more, it helps them to link their existing knowledge to the text and directs them into a much deeper understanding.
