Extensive Reading
This course is a good course for impoving English skills.
The benefits of this course makes me to know about
how to find the main idea in each paragraphs, how to speak the words correctly, how to summarize the text the teacher giving, how to use skimming and scanning in the text, using Cambridge dictionary on website, writing English sentences correctly etc.
I review a book or article to determine the research behind it. Knowing this information helps me to determine how the reader is making his/her conclusions and what might be absent from the discussion. So, I check the end of each chapter, the footnotes and end notes. The research notes also lead you to other writers should you want to investigate ideas further.
You might ask why I would use these two additional reading strategies. Earlier in my career I was more easily swayed by the popular business press. Later, I started looking behind what was being written to determine if what was being said was merely opinion or well substantiated with solid research. Having this distinction helped me to distinguish fad from fact.
I think all article in this course are important and different to study but it makes me understand more than I have been.Thank you Asst. Prof. Dr.Usa Noytim for teaching about English Reading Strategies and providing lots of new experiences.
