Reading

Unit 5 I reviewed a lot of things. First, readers expect certain information to come in certain sequence we need to make a distinction between extensive and intensive reading. The term extensive reading refers to reading which students do often away from the classroom. For example: novels, wed pages, magazines, newspapers. In other words, I can said that extensive reading should involve reading for pleasure. On the other hand, intensive reading refers to the detailed focus on the construction of reading texts which takes place usually but not always in classroom. Also, I learned students need to be able to do a number of things with a reading text. They need to be able to scan the text for particular bits of information: for example; when we look for a telephone number this skill means they do not have to read every word and line. In addition, students also need to be able to skim a text that means to get general idea of what it is about. Another important points are come up with six reading principles. We need to take in account. Encourage students to read as often and as much as possible this means, the more students read the more better. Second, need to be engaged with the topic of a reading text. Then, prediction is a major factor in reading it means our mains starts predicting what we are going to read. Finally, jigsaw technique gives students a reason for reading and then sharing what they have found out. The fact that the more students read, the better they get a reading. I that reading is good for language acquisition in general, provides good models for future writing and offers opportunities for language study. I would apply to teach in the future in a variety of genres and that, where possible, the language of the texts should be authentic, unless it is too difficult for students in which case I will offer authentic like language.
