  1. Unit 11 Teaching Reading

  2. 11.1 Reflecting on your own reding experiences • focus on Task 1

  3. 11.2 How do we read • in this section, we attempt to clarify some misunderstandings about the nature of reading. • if a student fails to understand the nature of reding, she/he may adopt improper reading strtegies. • if a teacher fails to do so, he/she cannot help the students to become efficent readers.

  4. task 2

  5. Reading aloud and silent reading • They are two types of reading practice commonly found in classroom. • Task 3

  6. The differences between the two reading practice. • Reading aloud requires the reader to utter every syllable in every word. Silent reading requires no utterances at all. • Reading aloud is much slower. Silent reading, we can adjust out reading speed according to different purposes of reading.

  7. Reading aloud is to share info with others. Silent reading is an individual activity, and its main purpose is getting info. • Reading aloud needs good pronunciation and intonation. Silent reading needs effective strategies such as skimming, scanning, predicting, etc. to help us get info efficiently.

  8. Reading aloud is a collective activity. Silent reading is an individual activity. • reading aloud is easier to observe and hear from the students so that we know they are involved at least in mouths if not always in minds. Silent reading always cannot see what is going on in the readers' mind.

  9. To summarize, each has a function in the teaching of reading and should not be replaced by the other. • the function of silent reading • teach reading and develop reading skills. • develop proficent readers in a foreign language.

  10. the function of reading aloud • aquire good pronunciation and intonation, familiarise them with new words and the stress patterns of English, help build up their confidence in speaking the language.

  11. sugesstion: combination of both • Ss learn the text through silent reading and then with comprehension we give Ss a good model for practising reading aloud. • It is also a good chance for the teacher to get feedback on the ss' comprehension.

  12. What do effective readers do? • have a clear purpose in reading. • read silently. • read phrase by phrase, rather than word by word. • concentrate on the important bits, skim the rest, and skip the insignificant parts.

  13. use different speeds and strategies for different reading tasks. • perceive the infor in the target language rather than mentally translate. • guess the meaning of new words from the context, or ignore them. • have and use background info to help understand the text.

  14. Thank you all
