The purpose of this study is to analyze problems of teaching English reading based on a teacher-centered approach and to apply a learner-centered approach through interaction to teaching English reading for improving a learner's satisfaction and maximizing learning effectiveness. Our traditional English education had focused on a Grammar-translation approach for reading and grammar for a long time. But the approach had been criticized a lot because of lack of English speaking ability. Therefore, a communicative approach was introduced and we has emphasized on speaking and listening ever since. But these days we need an English reading ability again in order to read lots of information and gather them through an Internet and materials. As a result, we need a new approach of teaching reading, and we need to develop and improve it. This study will contribute to the approach to be able to improve a learner's English reading in EFL. A new approach called a zoom lens approach for reading is introduced for this study.
