TReading Flashcards
Purpose of reading
Comprehension
Fluent reading
Reading at an appropriate rate with adequate comprehension.
Bottom-up reading
Ss recognize a multiplicity of linguistic signals ( letters, morphemes, syllables, words, phrases, grammar cues, discourse markers.)
Data-driven/ moving from parts to the whole
+) intensive reading / a graded reader apporach
Top-down reading
Drawing on our background kn to understand the text.
Ss “make predictions” based on background kn.
Ss search the text to confirm or reject the predictions that are made.
Meaning-based approach
Conceptually-driven
Whole-lg approach
Extensive reading
(Ss need to “inference” the answer by drawing on content schemata.)
The T should focus on meaning-generating activities rather than on mastery of word recognition.
content schemata
general world kn.
socio-cultural kn.
topic kn.
formal schemata
rhetorical kn ( difference in genre, structure of fables, poetry) discourse kn.
Intensive reading
a short reading passage followed by textbook activities to develop comprehension and/or particular reading skill.
Ss are taught reading skills, vocab, and phonological instruction through short reading passage followed by reading comprehension exercises.
(Bottom-up approach)
A graded reader approach
All reading material is carefully reviewed so that Ss are not exposed to vocab that is too difficult or that contains sounds that they’ve not yet been introduced to.
Extensive reading
Reading many books for enjoyment or information w/o focusing on classroom exercise.
Reading w/o looking up all the unknown words.
Reading in quantity
Practice strategies
It’s a key to S gains in reading ability, linguistic competence, vocab, spelling and writing.
A literature-based approach
Books are used which contain authentic lg.
Readers are exposed to a wide range of vocab.
(Top-down)
Whole language approach
S-centered
Individual readers choose what they want to read.
(Top-down)
Interactive model / 이것의 implication
a combination of (Bottom up and Top down)
The T should provide Ss with shorter passages to teach specific reading skills and strategies explicitly.
Also, the T needs to encourage Ss to read longer texts w/o an emphasis on testing their skills.
Language Experience Approach
Ss experience을 가지고 reading material 만들기
focus on meaning
whole language approach
=> internal motivation 증가
Principles for teaching reading
- Building up background kn.
- Building a strong vocab
- Teach for comprehension
- Work on increasing reading rate
- Encourage Ss to use appropriate strategies
어떻게 Building background kn.
by setting goals, asking questions, making predictions, teaching text structure.
Building a strong vocab 방법
Basic vocab should be explicitly taught
Ss should be taught to “use context effectively” and “guess the meanings of less frequent words”
Work on increasing reading rate
Reading fluency 관련
The T must find a balance between assisting Ss to improve their reading rate and developing RC skills.
속도와 정확성 모두 중요
Fluency is a combination of both reading rate and reading comprehension.
Reduce Ss’ dependence on a dictionary.
(Top-down방식)
Encourage Ss to use appropriate strategies
To achieve the desired results, Ss need to learn how to use a range of reading strategies that matches their purpose for reading. ( Explicit 하게)
Think aloud technique
Get Ss to verbalize their thought processes as they read.
Ss get to become more aware of their strategies to be able to describe what those strategies are.

+) use efficient “silent reading techniques” for improving fluency.
Evaluate process 하는 방법?
