Abstract

Reading is a very complicated skill involving many aspects. Linguistic knowledge can affect one’s reading, but cultural factors play a more important role in reading process. Many true and serious reading barriers are not only from the proficiency of language knowledge itself, but also caused by cultural differences between target language and our mother tongue. Cultural differences exist in background information, words, sentences, and text structures, all of which are going to cause potential barriers in reading. Only by finding a feasible way to remove the barriers can we improve our reading ability.

Key Words

Cultural differences; reading comprehension; reading barriers; solutions
