This book is a comprehensive examination of extensive reading. In this approach to the teaching and learning of second language reading, learners read large quantities of books and other materials that are well within their linguistic competence. In this text the case is made that extensive reading is an important addition to any second language reading program. Extensive reading not only provides essential practice in learning to read but also develops a positive attitude toward reading so often missed in second language reading classrooms. The authors provide a theoretical foundation for this approach by examining the cognitive and affective nature of reading. They also offer a wealth of practical suggestions for implementing extensive reading, including integrating it into the curriculum, establishing a library, selecting reading material, record-keeping evaluation, and a wide variety of classroom activities to supplement individualized silent reading.
This lively collection of over 100 classroom activities allows teachers to exploit fully the language learning potential of extensive reading. The activities, contributed by teachers who have used them successfully in classrooms all over the world, introduce extensive reading to students, and link it with the rest of the language curriculum. Here is a wealth of ideas for encouraging students to read, and for using students' reading experiences for further language practice and learning. These creative and enjoyable speaking, listening, role-play, reading, writing, and vocabulary activities are suitable for students of all ages and levels. Each activity is clearly explained, together with a personal note from its author. This is a handbook for teachers of general language courses, or grammar, listening, speaking, writing, or reading courses. It is written for teachers both non-native and native speaking, and for teachers both novice and experienced. It will also be of interest to teacher-educators.
This second edition of New Ways in Teaching Reading bursts with new
activities while retaining many of the features that made the first
edition a best seller. The activities chosen for this edition are
inspired by state-of-the art trends in teaching reading to English
learners. Teachers now find numerous creative, classroom-ready
activities in new and expanded categories like the Internet,
Fluency, Young Readers, and Extensive Reading. The many activities
and exercises come from teachers who have used them in their
teaching of reading in ESL and EFL classrooms around the world. It
is the best possible type of resource-one that is contributed by
ESL and EFLreading teachers for ESL and EFL reading teachers.
