Extensive reading (week 11)


On Monday 17th October, Teacher taught us about “extensive reading”. She asked us to discuss with my partner about “what is the extensive reading” and “do you often read in English for your private study?”   
       
    After that, she told her experiences about her studying. Then, she shows the words that definition and how to read.

Develop :  /dɪˈvel.əp/ meaning : to (cause something to) grow or change into a more advanced, larger, or stronger form
Development :  /dɪˈvel.əp.mənt/ meaning : the process in which someone or something grows or changes and becomes more advanced
Developing :  /dɪˈvel.ə.pɪŋ/ meaning : A developing country or area of the world is poorer and has less advanced industries, especially in Africa, Latin America, or Asia
Extensive :  /ɪkˈsten.sɪv/ meaning : covering a large area; having a great range

    And then, the teacher assigned us to read “simply read” for a long time. Then, we were asked to write sum-up of each paragraph. So, we wrote the sum-up just 4 paragraphs.
Paragraph1 :  A research conducted with English language students in Japan, who failed compulsory English courses.
Paragraph2 :  Research methods and result of the study.
Paragraph3  : Use of extensive reading to improve students’ English language skills.
Paragraph4 :  Important role of extensive reading in language learning success.

    After that, we did exercises “comprehension1 and comprehension2”. Comprehension1 was about “decide the sentence true or false and then write the line number where the evidence is”.

The summarize each paragraph was very difficult for me.

I found the exercises “true or false” were easy for me because it was similar to scanning.


I used the previewing, finding references, and making inferences for reading the text.
