Thus, English teachers should pay attention to reading skills and find Out the appropriate methods to use in their classrooms to encourage their students read inEnglish
I simply must agree with you on the importance of the reading skill in language learning. I am also of the same opinion that teachers of English should try some other appropriate strategies in teaching such a skill other than the traditional ones used for ages!. I would like to share with you some of my ongoing readings about this issue.
Language instructors are often frustrated by the fact that students do not automatically transfer the strategies they use when reading in their native language to reading in a language they are learning. Instead, they seem to think reading means starting at the beginning and going word by word, stopping to look up every unknown vocabulary item, until they reach the end. When they do this, students are relying exclusively on their linguistic knowledge, a bottom-up strategy. One of the most important functions of the language instructor, then, is to help students move past this idea and use top-down strategies as they do in their native language. "
Strategies that can help students read more quickly and effectively include
•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; using knowledge of the text type and purpose to make predictions about discourse structure; using knowledge about the author to make predictions about writing style, vocabulary, and content
•Skimming and scanning: using a quick survey of the text to get the main idea, identify text structure, 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
