A2 KEY & B1 PRELIMINARY: the link between extensive reading and vocabulary acquisition
In this presentation, we will look at the relationship between reading and learning new words and expressions. One of the best ways of helping our students to make progress is by encouraging students to read as much as possible. The idea is that through reading, they revisit vocabulary they have already learnt and also pick up new words along the way. Some students will take to this sort of extensive reading straight away, but others will need guidance and support, and the way that we set up reading activities and maintain interest in them are vital teaching skills. We will also look at suitable texts for the A2/B1 levels, and see how extensive reading can help our students become better writers too.
WORKSHOP 2 - Docenti della secondaria di II° grado
SOSPESO - Verrà riproposto in autunno 2023
LICEO SEVERI-CORRENTI Via Alcuino 4 Milano - M5 Domodossola
B2 FIRST & C1 ADVANCED: the link between extensive reading and writing
In this presentation, we will look at what is required in the FCE and CAE writing papers and how we can help our students prepare for it. One of the best ways of improving writing is by encouraging students to read similar texts - the idea is that they subsequently transfer features from these examples into their own stories. Some students will do this naturally, but others will need guidance and we will look at how best to provide this. Students also need to be able to develop their own texts and this process of revising and redrafting is another key way we can help our students become better writers. We will see that writing activities do not necessarily have solitary, silent activities, but can be integrated with other skills into interactive and motivating lessons.
