Abstract
Thematic meaning inquiry provides a new way of thinking and direction for English reading teaching. The degree of exploring the meaning of the theme influences the depth of students’ discourse comprehension, the height of students’ thinking development and the effect of students’ language learning. Combined with senior high school English teaching cases, this paper discusses how to explore the thematic meaning through in-depth interpretation of texts. Under the guidance of the activity-based approach to English learning, this paper expounds an effective approach to reading teaching design based on thematic meaning exploration, aiming to lead students to read texts in depth, explore the thematic meaning and connotation of texts, and highlight the educational value of English subjects.
