| Abstract: | Both linguistics and language teaching take language as their subject. Linguistics can provide language teaching with theories and language teaching can further prove the validity of linguistics. To some extent, linguistics is more theoretical while language teaching is more practical. Since linguistics is defined as the scientific study of language, it seems obvious that such a study would have direct relations to language teaching. This paper attempts to make an analysis of difference between Contextual theory of meaning and the teaching of EFL reading. |
