Abstract

English as a foreign language (EFL) has resulted in significant ramifications for the second language learning in the college educational performance. A growing interest in second-language learning has resulted in remarkable empirical studies that attempts to explore the approach of improving reading abilities. Analyzing the traditional approached of the English reading teaching, it can be said that great progress has been made if we take it as an independent subject in reading production. While students’ participation in reading performance in second-language learning has become everyday practice in college, there have been few studies examining how linguistic theory as fundamental guideline is adopted and applied in the reading practice in college. Thus, in our study, we provide the contextual adaptation theory into English reading practice, illustrating that the theory can guide to figure out the tactful meaning in the reading materials. Focusing on the reading materials, this paper examines how contextual adaptation influences the students’ performance in reading tasks.
