中文摘要：英语阅读教学是初中英语教学的一个重要组成部分，它对培养学生学习能力起着重要的作用。在阅读教学中对学生进行有效的思维能力培养，不仅能够促进学生阅读水平的提高，更能够推动学生听说读写各方面能力的发展。但如今初中英语阅读教学课堂忽视培养学生思维能力的重要性，更不能正确培养学生的思维能力。在人的智力结构中，思维属于核心地位。在人体生理结构中，脑是思维和意识功能的生理基础。大脑、思维、阅读三者密不可分。本文通过课堂观察总结了现如今初中英语阅读教学课堂中对学生思维能力培养的不足之处，并从大脑层面归纳出培养学生思维能力的有效策略。本文能使英语教师正确认识大脑，思维，阅读三者之间的内在联系，从而运用正确的方式在英语阅读教学中培养学生的思维能力，改变目前初中英语阅读教学的现状。
