Reading: Practical strategies to helping your learners engage with the texts in their course books
Groups of learners can sometimes need considerable encouragement and support to actually get their heads down and engage with the texts in their coursebooks. In this session, we shall look at how to assist lower secondary teens navigate their way through a range of reading matter. We will look at techniques that give them an entry point in terms of meaning, and also how we might best provide them with a little background before they begin. We shall also think about how to elicit responses from them, how to measure comprehension, and how to use short stories as a vehicle for language points or a starting point for speaking activities. There will be examples and anecdotes from my own classes and many of the techniques will be transferable for older teenagers. Ideal for less experienced teachers and seasoned veterans alike.
