In the past few years, intensive learning has taken up almost all the time in Chinese English courses. This involves intensive reading, doing lots of exercises, the study of grammar, spelling and pronunciation, etc. Extensive reading and listening made up little time in English courses. As a result, lots of Chinese learners have learned English for many years, but they still cannot speak or read English fluently. Based on this situation, we set up a well-balanced reading program that combines both intensive and extensive reading. This presentation will also show why it is important to combine intensive reading and extensive reading in English, and how to set up a more effective English reading program. In the past few years, this reading program has been implemented in multiple schools, and hundreds of students have made significant progress, and we affirm that English learning must be combined with intensive reading and extensive reading.
