contents • Reading purposes • Causes of reading problems • Reading skills

Reading purposes • Reading for tests • Reading for information • Reading for pleasure less

Causes of reading problems--- misconceptions about reading • Concentrating on each words • Reading word by word • Feel terrible when see the new words • Reading so quickly or slowly

Reading skills • Word guessing skills • Paragraph reading skills • Reading skills at professional level

Word guessing skills • Guessing words from context clues • Guessing words from word formation • Efficient use of a dictionary

Guessing words fromcontext clues • What is context? • The sentence and paragraph in which this word can be discovered. • How to decide the word from context? • Use your knowledge of grammar • Use your understanding of the author’s ideas

Guessing words fromcontext clues • Information provided by the context: • Definition • Example • Restatement • Synonym • Antonym

Eg. Mark got on the motorbike. I sat behind him on the pillion[‘piljən] , and we roared off into the night.

Eg. Condiments, for example, pepper, salt, and mustard make food taste better.

Eg. He had a wan[wɔn] look. He was so pale and weak that we thought he was ill.

Eg. Father is an expert[‘ekspə:t] in piano, and mother is a violinist.

Eg. Unlike his brother, who is such a handsome man, Tom is quite plain.

Efficient Use of a Dictionary • Dictionary is the best language teacher. Therefore, a good language learner ought to be good at using a dictionary. • A good dictionary provides lots of information.

Efficient Use of a Dictionary • Example: Let’s hang up some paintings on these ______ walls. A. bare B. empty C. blank D. vacant

Efficient Use of a Dictionary • bare: empty, not covered by anything, or not having any decorations • empty: an empty room, building etc. does not have any people in it • blank: showing no expression, understanding or interest; without any writing, print, or recorded sound • vacant: a vacant seat, room etc. is empty and available for someone to use; a vacant job or position in an organization is available for someone to start doing

Efficient Use of a Dictionary • Example sentences: • This room looks very bare --- you need some pictures on the walls. • The house had been empty for six months before we moved in. • Leave the last page blank. • Only a few apartments were still vacant.

Word Formation • English words usually contain three parts: • Prefix [pri:’fiks]: change the meaning of a word • Stem[stem] : determine the meaning of a word • Suffix[‘sʌfiks] : change the part of speech of a word

Word formation • Note: • Some words are created by combining parts of the other words.

Other examples: • waste-to-energy plant 垃圾发电站 • materials-recovery facility 物资回收设施 • a dead-end job 没有前途的工作 • start-up costs 开创所付出的代价 • a go-with-the-stream person 一个随波逐流的人

Paragraph reading skills • Finding the main idea

Finding the main idea • Topic sentence the sentence that contains the main idea of the paragraph • Location[ləu’keiʃən] of a topic sentence • In the beginning • In the middle • At the end

Reading skills at discourse level • Skimming • Scanning • Prediction • Know more about reading skills

Scanning • To scan is to read quickly in order to locate specific information. • Steps involved in scanning: • Decide exactly what information you are looking for, and think about the form it may take. • Decide where you need to look to find the information you want. • Move your eyes as quickly as possible down the page until you find the information you need. Read it carefully. • When you find what you need, do not read further.

Skimming • To skim is to read quickly in order to get a general idea of a passage. • When you skim, it is necessary to read only selected sentences in order to get the main idea. Do not read every word. • Once you get a general idea about an article, you may decide to read the entire selection carefully, or only to scan for specific pieces of information.

Prediction • Reading is an active process. Meaning does not exist[iɡ’zist] only on the page or in the mind of the reader. It is created by an active interaction[,ɪntər’ækʃən] between reader and text. • Good readers develop predictions about what they will read next, and then they read to see if their prediction will become true or not. If not, good readers will have a new prediction.

Teaching reading (presentation)

How to teach reading?

This is a powerpoint presentation about teaching reading skills and strategies.

Reading is a complex activity. Not only may the content of the printed material be challenging to readers, but it may also be demotivating.

Teachers should be aware that teaching reading is NOT testing reading. Learners should be trained to use different strategies to understand the text. These include:

• Relating the reader’s prior knowledge to get the meaning of the text.
• Skimming the text to look for the main idea of the text.
• Scanning the text to look for specific information.
• Using the context to understand difficult words.
• Using graphic organizers.

Here is the content of the presentation:

Theoretical background
