ABSTRACT

Reading is an activity of interaction between language and thinking, and in the field of English teaching, cultivating students' thinking ability has become an important research topic. Thinking visualization means that in the learning process, students can show the inner thinking structure and thinking path in a visual way. The use of thinking visualization tools in high school English teaching helps students quickly build a systematic and complete knowledge structure, which has a significant impact on improving learning efficiency and shaping thinking quality. Based on the activity-based approach to English learning, this paper analyzes the innovative path of integrating thinking visualization into high school English reading teaching, aiming at exploring effective strategies to promote the synergistic development of students' comprehensive language ability and thinking ability.
