introduction

The importance of text in English reading teaching was emphasized, and it was pointed out that the teacher's text interpretation ability has a direct impact on students' understanding and experience of the text. There are three main problems with current teachers' text interpretation: shallow analysis, standardized interpretation forms, and empty meaning enhancement.

The role of teachers in interpreting middle school English reading texts

Emphasis was placed on the triple roles of teachers in interpreting middle school English reading texts: reader, teacher, and mentor. As readers, teachers need to delve into the text, gain initial insights, and establish resonance with the author; As educators, teachers should base themselves on students' perspectives, create student-centered situations, and stimulate students' initiative; As a teacher, teachers need to have an editor's perspective, explore the value of text teaching, understand the intentions of textbook editors, and accurately define the value of text teaching.

The Levels and Strategies of Text Interpretation in Middle School English Reading

Text interpretation is the process of understanding, dialogue, and communication between readers, texts, and authors, involving literary aesthetics and textual interpretation based on cognitive foundations. When interpreting texts, teachers should guide students to experience and learn from three levels: content analysis, deep meaning exploration, and intention enhancement. Firstly, teachers should use students' existing experience to find connections with the text, activate their interest in exploring the text, and use tools such as mind maps to clarify the context of the text and understand its main idea. Secondly, teachers need to create language learning activities with context and hierarchy to enhance students' deep reading ability, pay attention to students' reading experience, focus on cultivating thinking ability, stimulate students' genuine emotions, and explore diverse thinking. Finally, teachers should guide students to learn language, acquire new knowledge, explore meaning, and solve problems around the theme, gradually moving from discourse based learning to in-depth and beyond discourse learning. They should design reading and exploration activities that immerse in and exceed discourse, enhance the height of text interpretation, and extract and integrate the educational value and curriculum value of the text. Through these strategies, teachers can help students truly experience, delve deeper, and gain a comprehensive understanding of the text.

The importance of teachers in interpreting middle school English reading texts was emphasized, requiring teachers to have solid text interpretation skills and be able to use three identities to guide students to deeply understand the text. Teachers should design multi-level and diversified teaching activities, respect students' emotional experiences, and stimulate dialogue between students, authors, and editors from the perspective of students, in order to deeply explore the deep meaning and value of the text.
