Teaching Reading a presentation by Fawaz Hammad Al-Ghoraibi
Objectives  To establish the importance of teaching reading to students  To recognize the difference between teaching reading and text analysis  To explore reading strategies and their use in the second language classroom  To apply the reading strategies to a reading passage  To analyze the importance of reading aloud in the classroom.
Introduction Why do we teach reading?
We teach students reading to help them: a) learn the language b) read for information c) read for cultural knowledge and awareness
Reading to Learn the Language Giving students a variety of materials to read helps them absorb vocabulary, grammar, sentence structure, and discourse structure. Students thus gain a more complete picture of the ways in which the elements of the language work together to convey meaning.
Reading for Content Information • The students' purpose for reading is often to obtain information about a subject they are studying. Reading for content information in the language classroom gives students both authentic reading material and an authentic purpose for reading.
Reading for Cultural Knowledge and Awareness • Reading everyday materials that are designed for native speakers can give students insight into the lifestyles and worldviews of the people whose language they are studying.
Reading Strategies
What are the reading strategies that the teacher can use while teaching reading?
Strategies that can help students read more quickly and effectively :include 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. previewing predicting skimming and scanning guessing from context paraphrasing
As a group, try to show the role of the teacher in each strategy.
Previewing • Reviewing titles, section headings, and photo captions to get a sense of the structure and content of a reading selection
Predicting • Using knowledge of the subject matter to make predictions about content and vocabulary and check comprehension.
Skimming and Scanning • Using a quick survey of the text to get the main idea, identify text structure and confirm or question predictions
Guessing from Context • Using prior knowledge of the subject and the ideas in the text as clues to the meanings of unknown words, instead of stopping to look them up
Paraphrasing • Stopping at the end of a section to check comprehension by restating the information and ideas in the text
Incorporating Effective Reading Strategies into the Second Language Classroom
To encourage students to use effective strategies when reading, the teacher can develop simple exercises to elicit information via targeted strategies. These exercises can be divided by the stage of reading at which they occur into: (a) Pre-reading Activities, (b) While Reading Activities and (c) Post-reading Activities
With the rest of your colleagues, try to decide which reading strategy can best be used in .each stage
Pre- reading Activities Pre-reading activities:  Introduce students to a a particular text  Elicit or provide appropriate background knowledge  arouse their interest Pre-reading activities include:  brainstorming  considering illustrations and titles  skimming and scanning (for structure, main points, etc.)
While-reading Exercises While reading exercises: 1. help students develop reading strategies 2. improve their control of the second language 3. decode problematic text passages Such exercises might include 1. guessing word meanings from context clues 2. considering syntax and sentence structure and analyzing reference words 3. reading for specific pieces of information 4. learning to use the dictionary effectively
Post-reading Exercises Post-reading exercises: 1. Check students’ comprehension 2. Lead them to a deeper analysis of the text Because the goals of most real world reading are not to memorize an author's point of view or to summarize text content, second language reading must go beyond detail-eliciting comprehension drills.
Mini Green Houses Do you ever get bored at home? Would you like to have some fun? Start your own MINI GREEN HOUSE. You will need a plastic bottle, some soil and seeds of your choice (tomatoes, corn, lentils, beans etc.). Take the bottle. Remove the label and cap. Pinch a few holes around the top to keep the inside cool. Place some soil at the bottom of the bottle. Throw the seeds and sprinkle them with water. In a few days the seeds will start to vine. Water regularly. When your plants reach the top, cut the bottom of the bottle and transfer them into a pot or to the garden
