Abstract

Input, intake and output are the most fundamental links in second language acquisition. With the development of cognitive science and the profound investigation of psycholinguistics and applied linguistics in the past decades, intake has been the research focus for many linguistic scholars. As where there is no input, there will be no intake. When there is no intake, there is no output. Reading, an important way of visual input and a main means of receiving information and language knowledge, is the crucial activity in and out of classroom. Therefore, this thesis aims to integrate the input-intake and ESP reading comprehension from a new perspective, discussing the causative elements that affect the transition from input to intake in the reading process. In addition, it is a significant subject to improve the quantity of intake and optimize the quality of intake for the great progress of foreign language teaching so as to facilitate comprehensible input and intake to the greater extent.
