For this unit my initial challenge would be to solve the question of the unit, and devise proposals to overcome student demotivation, therefore my question would be: what strategies will make reading literature more motivating for Chilean students?
This initial challenge is quite relevant because literature helps us to broaden our knowledge and our mind, so it is very important that Chilean students have knowledge about literature and keep acquiring knowledge day by day. The strategies to approach literature in an entertaining way is very important because it keeps us motivated to keep reading, since it seems that students were demotivated before to read literature and to include new literary culture in us.
I think the fundamental thing we are going to learn in this unit is to explore the students' lack of information.
In summary, I believe that students' lack of motivation to read in English is due to several factors, such as confusion about the task demands, vocabulary shortage, poor background knowledge, memory problems, lack of knowledge and/or lack of mastery of comprehension strategies. Therefore, I have come to the conclusion that all these factors can be solved if we find the right strategy for each reader, so that English language learners will find it easier to comprehend and even enjoy their reading.]]> 2023-05-10 20:26:35 UTC https://padlet.com/bernarditalambert/9cn9m9525pdcooyf/wish/2586058850 How i am progressing in my learning process?? bernarditalambert https://padlet.com/bernarditalambert/9cn9m9525pdcooyf/wish/2586143092 During this process I have noticed that my motivation to read literature has increased since I have implemented the reading comprehension (analysis, searching the concepts that i don’t know) and that has helped me to enrich my vocabulary to understand the texts, I have also improved my grammar since I understand the books and I am acquiring knowledge and at the same time I question what I don't know.]]> 2023-05-10 22:41:23 UTC https://padlet.com/bernarditalambert/9cn9m9525pdcooyf/wish/2586143092 How does this evidence show my progress in this unit? bernarditalambert https://padlet.com/bernarditalambert/9cn9m9525pdcooyf/wish/2586144530 Thanks to the reading comprehension as I said before, I have been able to expand my vocabulary and thanks to this, I have been able to show an advance in knowledge and improve my speaking.]]> 2023-05-10 22:44:21 UTC https://padlet.com/bernarditalambert/9cn9m9525pdcooyf/wish/2586144530 What difficulties have i encountered while doing this activity? bernarditalambert https://padlet.com/bernarditalambert/9cn9m9525pdcooyf/wish/2586146878 One of the difficulties during this unit was to find techniques to motivate students to read and at the same time be effective.
