The research objectives aimed by this research are: (1) find out about Junior High School students need for environment-based supplementary reading materials; and 2) develop environment-based supplementary reading materials that are suitable for the students. This study is a research and development. The subjects involved in this research and development are eight grade students of a junior high school. The procedures in this research follow the modified research and development steps proposed by Borg & Gall into four development procedures. The steps of the modified research procedures were the exploration stage that included need analysis; the prototype development stage included the stages of planning and developing the format/draft; revision stage was completed by performing an expert judgement; and finalization stage that produced a final product. This supplementary reading is developed into 3 units. Each unit consists of list of new vocabularies, comic, main text and exercises. The developed texts are recount, descriptive and narrative.

Reading Teaching

Reading is not only one of the purposes of English teaching, but also an important way of English learning. Students’ knowledge of English reading enables them to read effectively. At this time, students’ reading focus will gradually shift from learning to using English to obtain information and experience the real purpose of English reading. The traditional junior high school English reading teaching can’t meet the requirements of the new curriculum reform and helps students achieve their initial learning goals. Based on the basic theoretical knowledge of English reading teaching, this article analyzes the problems encountered by teachers and students in the process of English reading teaching, and puts forward the corresponding countermeasures, hoping to promote the level of junior high school students’ English reading teaching.

Thorndike was a famous American psychologist in the early 20th century. Based on the hungry cat box experiment, he proposed three famous learning laws in 1911: The Law of Readiness, the Law of Exercise and the Law of Effect. With the reform of contemporary education -- the rise of quality-oriented education and the popularity of task-based teaching, Thorndike's three Laws of Learning have played an important theoretical support for our contemporary research. At the same time, we also see a huge research prospect and correlation between educational psychology and English teaching methods. This paper intends to study the efficiency and interesting teaching of a junior English reading class, and solve the research problems caused by the combination of Thorndike's three Laws of Learning and the principle of timing. By using the methods of questionnaires and interview, the author collected the effective data and information concerning high efficiency and interesting learning in junior high school English reading class.

One such effort toward this is the development of environment-based supplementary reading materials for students. In accordance with this, the objectives of this research are: 1) to investigate the need of junior high school students for environment-based supplementary reading materials; and 2) to develop environment-based supplementary reading materials suitable for these students. The subjects of this research and development were eighth grade students of a junior high school. The procedure utilized is a modified version of the research and development steps proposed by Borg & Gall and included four development procedures. The stages of this modified procedure were: 1) the exploration stage, including need analysis; 2) the prototype development stage, including planning and developing the format/draft; 3) the revision stage, using expert evaluation; and 4) the finalization stage. The resulting supplementary reading material has been developed into 3 units, with the texts being recount, descriptive, and narrative. Each unit consists of a list of new vocabulary, a comic, a main text, and exercises. The exercises at the end of each unit have the purpose of confirmation.The texts aim to convey an ideal relationship between humans and environment.
