Unit One 英语专业教研室 张瀚文 zyhreading@ Intensive Reading Extensive Reading Intensive reading — accurate reading for detailed understanding Extensive reading — pleasure and general understanding How much should we read? If we have an hour to read a day, we should read at least 25 pages a day. If we only have half an hour to spend on reading, then we need to read at least 10 pages. Read as widely as possible, and as much as possible, as enjoyably as possible. What kind of materials are suitable? Choosing materials which are at least 98% comprehensible. There should be very little new vocabulary and very little new grammar. One or two new words per page and one new sentence structure per section would be ideal. The more interesting the texts are, the more we will like reading, and the sooner we will start doing voluntary reading on our own. Why should we do extensive reading? It can provide massive comprehensible input. It can consolidate previously learned language. It leads to improvement in writing. It teaches us about the culture of the target language users. It can enhance our general language competence. It helps to build confidence. Teaching Requirements Plan 1. Participate in class actively creatively 2. Preview and review lessons in time 3.
