PRE-READING EXERCISES
While doing pre-reading exercises
the students should see all the tasks before reading the text.
The
following questions may be used.
1.Can you
guess what the text is about judging by the title?
2. What do you
think the following names, figures or dates (if there are any) have to do with
the story?
Note:
the teacher can arrange what the students say in a column on the
blackboard and then give the task to look through the text quickly to prove if
their guesses were true or false.
3.
What do you know or what have you heard about the subject you are going to read
about?
WHILE-READING EXERCISES
The next group
of exercises aims to teach the students to extract specific information. These
are while-reading exercises.
The
students should scan the text to extract the information which the tasks
demand. They do not have to pay attention to the parts of the text they do not
understand.
Previewing
for the topic. Ask the students to read the first sentence of each paragraph
and the last sentence of the passage and guess what the text is about, or what
the general idea is.
The teacher
offers some statements and the students are to find out if they are false of
true.
The students
may be given some questions to answer.
Note:
the students may be divided into groups, each group given the same
number of questions to make the work more competitive.
POST-READING EXERCISES
These
exercises are more concerned with summing up the content of the text, investigation
into the writer’s opinion and may entail some kind of follow-up-task related to
the text. Here you can use the following tasks:
1. Find the
most important sentence in each paragraph.
2.Match each
sentence of the jumbled summary with the correct paragraph.
3.Use your
imagination and write your end of the story.
4.Express your
attitude to the story, etc.
5.What is your
attitude to the story? Write a letter to the editor.
6.Organize
a press conference.
All
the exercises described here can be used in whatever combination the teacher
chooses but the succession of the types of exercises should be as offered here.
