Features: Reading is a complex process mediated by linguistic symbols, involving a series of activities such as the external behavioral practices and internal psychological intelligence of the individual reader. Based on whether the language of the reader is the same as the language of the reading material, reading can be divided into native language reading and second language reading. The two share certain differences in nature and reading process. Therefore, providing targeted reading training for learners of Chinese as a second language is also an important component of teaching Chinese as a foreign language. This book comprehensively introduces the tasks and content of reading in teaching Chinese as a foreign language, the foundation and process of reading, the methods and types of reading, the understanding and mastery of various elements in reading, teaching methods for reading at the beginner, intermediate, and advanced levels in teaching Chinese as a foreign language, reading methods for different types of texts, as well as issues related to reading achievement tests and the types of reading comprehension tests and problem-solving strategies in the Chinese Language Proficiency Test.
