Abstract

The “icy period” appearing in the process of English acquisition is caused by the long-term disjunction between the knowledge of English and its application. This paper discusses the icy period from the view of neurolinguistics, psycholinguistics and cognitive linguistics, and puts forward that “book flood”, namely a large amount of reading, is an effective strategy to break the “ice”. “Book flood” not only creates the acquired environments for English learning but also combines the language knowledge and application. It can improve students’ English proficiency by optimizing learning modes, stimulating students’ interest and promoting teaching methods.
