Definitions of Reading • Reading=knowledge of language interacting with the knowledge of the world and how it applies to text ( Perfetti, 1985) • Reading is an invisible process. Most teachers take the process for granted and go directly to the creation of a related product(e.g. asking students to answer comprehension questions orally or in writing (Eskey, 2002)
Types of Reading • Scanning (600 w /pm ) • Skimming (450 w/pm ) • Rauding ( Normal, general comprehension) (300 w/pm ) • Learning (more pauses and regression) (200w/pm ) • Memorizing (138w/pm)
Models of Reading Process • Bottom Up Model (Gough ’72) • Top Down Model (Goodman ’67) • Interactive (Rumelhart ’77) • Construction-Integration Model of Discourse Processing (Kintsch 1988, 1994) • Construction Integration Model (Con’t)
Task Feedback Cycle • Stage 1 : Pre-reading tasks(Schema activitation) • Stage 2: Set Clear Task: what, why, how when…!!! • Three Core Activities • Core 1 : Controlled • Evaluation (could they do it?) • Core 2: Less Controlled • Evaluation (could they do it?) • Core 3: Free/Application • Evaluation (could they do it?) • Stage 3: Post-reading Tasks • Closure
Core Reading Activities • jigsaw outline • matching story completion • chronological order cloze • problem solving comprehension • complete charts questions • word search True/False • summary Crossword puzzle • scan for details multuiple choice • identity key words fill in blanks • skim for main idea paraphrase • categorize questionnaire • visualizing/drawing information gap • flash cards marginal notes • word banks predicting • dictionary skills ….
Characteristics • Train learners to be skilled readers (A reading teacher must teach productive reading strategies); • Hirvela (2004) states that it is impossible to be a skilled writer without being a skilled reader; • University writing entails reading texts and writing skillfully about them by synthesising ideas and often critically assessing the ideas; • A reading teacher’s roles are: mentor, model or stimulator rather than the provider of the correct answers; • Learners’ major problems must be determined by interacting directly with a given group of readers as they read(Group work, peers’ help). • A reading skill –Integrated tasks-group work ENTER
My Teacher Belief • Learning by doing. (Practice makes perfect) • Teach how to learn ,how to work together and how to be a popular person rather than teach textbooks.( design integrated activity) • Peers’ help counts.
