Abstract

Higher-order thinking is an important part of the quality of thinking. In recent years, relevant research has also attracted much attention. At present, senior high school English reading teaching still focuses on language input and ignores language output, which leads to the lack of active exploration spirit and migration and innovation ability of students. Students study at a shallow level. Based on this, this study attempts to make use of the research results of narrative theory to explore the teaching mode of senior high school English reading from the perspective of “Questioning the Author” theory, aiming to provide some reference for first-line English teachers in reading teaching.
