UNIT 5 REFLECTIVE BLOG


READING





      In this unit, I understood that a good way to learn a language is to be exposure to it, and Reading is a clear example that form part of the four language skills, such as reading, writing, listening and speaking as part of the receptive skills. Also identify the characteristics of Intensive and Extensive Reading with the use of authentic material, strategies and techniques to awake the student´s interest in the classroom with the objective of consolidate the vocabulary and language using subskills of reading into the activities.

     In addition reading involves the understanding of connections, responding to text while making sense of the writing text, and create a linking between the message and the text with our previous knowledge of the world. As well, a text, contains a sequence of sentences, and it includes Connected text to refers a Discourse. In reading is important a good manage of grammar and vocabulary to develop ideas with our understanding and adequate coherence and cohesion , this help in classroom to identify reading skills that confirm that students reading for specific information (Scanning), Reading for detail, Deducing meaning from a context , understanding text structure, Reading for gist (skimming), Inferring and Predicting. 

     As a conclusion is necessary to take account that some types of text involves the way of how a certain text was created and develop for the audience, this occur with the intention of get the reader´s conclusions about the text, article, letters, postcards, stories, brochures, leaflets and poems, all of them help to determine the Extensive or Intensive reading. In this situation to determine if reading  is helpful tool  to use introductory activities focusing on the topic to motivate students to get confidence with reading skills.
