1.Introduction 

Reading teaching is of great importance in English teaching, and the cultivating of reading proficiency holds leading position in the cultivating of English application proficiency. English reading is an important means for acquiring English language knowledge, knowing the outside information and improving English language practice ability. Accompanied with the development of English teaching methodology, the research on English reading teaching is continually progressing.

However, the present situation of English reading teaching is not entirely satisfying. Most of the teachers still focus on traditional teaching methods with little use of application of non-linguistic context. The negative effect of lack of  non-linguistic context is that students have difficulty in understanding text. From the perspective of long term, students will have no interest in language and culture.

With the recent development in linguistics, context theory has long been connected with reading teaching. Context can be pided into linguistic context and non-linguistic context. And the function of non-linguistic context theory in English reading teaching has been widely recognized. 非语言语境在中学英语阅读教学中的应用:http://www.youerw.com/yingyu/lunwen_59844.html
