English Reading Strategies Week15


On Monday, 2 November, 2015



Extensive Reading




This is the last week that we studied this course. At my point of view "Time goes by fast" because the study in the first semester will end and I have to take a final examination so I need to prepare myself as well in order to get the better scores of this final examination.





Today, we studied about "EXTENSIVE READING" before we studied, the teacher had told us about the midterm test scores. I got 12.5 points. I was unpleasure with my score a little bit because I hadn't been confident about the final test and very difficult. When she had already told us, she taught us about this content. An important point is that the two language researchers conducted an interesting experiment with a group of English language students in Japan. These students didn't like English and failed the test so the researchers put these students in a special class. At the end of the semester, the results were surprising because their scores on the new tests were as high as the regular English students including their English ability had been improved and they had been enjoy of this class.


Next, we responded the questions of this handout. I used the skimming skill by reading the title, subtitle in order to find the answers respectively. In addition, I used the scanning by reading the details in order to find the questions either.





I also knew that "READING ENGLISH" can help us to improve other skills including Speaking, Listening, Writing and Reading skills. It can tend to help us to get the high TOEIC/TOEFL scores. Thereby, if we read a lot, we will tend to have these skills and get the high TOEIC/TOEFL scores as well. 


 


How can extensive reading help you?

- Helps you improve reading skills
- Improves reading speed by reading enjoyable and easy texts 
- Improves your writing skills without even practicing writing at all
- Helps speaking skills, as well as listening skills to a lesser extend
- Tend to have high TOEFL/TOEIC scores
- It is one of the way to learn language



 We answered the questions in sheet, first I read the question and then I found the answers by see the sub-heading and skimming texts in that paragraph. It was not too hard when I read it because vocabularies are easy but when I didn't know some word, I found meaning from the context. This strategy, I studied from read faster lesson.
