Abstract

In order to carry out Japanese reading teaching more smoothly, this paper discusses the psychological mechanism of Chinese native speakers in Japanese text reading activities. The research mainly takes nearly 200 sophomores majoring in Japanese in an ordinary university in western Guangdong as the object of investigation, and through long-term observation, interviews, small talk, questionnaires and other forms in the teaching process, understands their main modes and strategies of Japanese text reading, and analyzes their psychological path of reading. The research results show that junior students tend to solve the problems in vocabulary perception, viewpoint, schema, etc. in the reading process linearly. This "word-sentence-text" bottom-up model conforms to the characteristics of language psychological development of beginners with zero starting point and is the common preference of most junior Japanese learners.
