EAP reading by https://padlet.com/starozhukaa/zhcafkaedxs11a3y en-us 2022-09-03 19:18:56 UTC 2025-11-17 23:45:02 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.net/icons/png/1f469-1f3eb.png Read the case carefully. What is the main problem? Is this an actual problem in ESL/EFL classroom? starozhukaa https://padlet.com/starozhukaa/zhcafkaedxs11a3y/wish/2538832836 Picture an EAP (English for academic purposes) reading class. You have completed a pre-reading task, directed students to skim pages 17-21 for main ideas, and just asked students to stop skimming. For homework, students will reread the same pages for a different purpose. Four students have raised their hands and made the following statements. All but one of the statements are characteristic of EAP classes with reading skills development goals. Which is the uncharacteristic one?
S1: What? Read pages 17-21! That's too much, teacher. Can we have extra time to read those pages? Or can you make the assignment shorter?
S2: What means this word, teacher? I cannot find the meaning in my dictionary.
S3: Read for details? What do you mean?
S4: Ohhh (sadly). Stop now? Teacher, can we have five more minutes (to read)?
Statement S4 is the unusual one. How often do EAP students ask for more time to read? Yet that is exactly what should happen for reading skills development to occur.

What do you think help teachers to develop this skill among their students? ]]> 2023-03-30 18:49:53 UTC https://padlet.com/starozhukaa/zhcafkaedxs11a3y/wish/2538839427 Look at the 9 basic principles of learning EAP reading. These nine curricular principles help frame EAP reading instruction that develops students' reading comprehension abilities. starozhukaa https://padlet.com/starozhukaa/zhcafkaedxs11a3y/wish/2538845070 1. Integrate reading skill instruction with extensive practice and exposure to print.
2. Use reading resources that are interesting, varied, attractive, abundant, and accessible.

5. Connect readings to students' background knowledge.
6. Structure lessons around pre-, during, and post- reading tasks.
7. Provide students with opportunities to experience comprehension success.
8. Build expectations that reading occurs in every lesson.

Try to name essential stages and objectives which they are responsible for. What strategies should use students for successful reading comprehension? ]]> 2023-03-30 19:24:31 UTC https://padlet.com/starozhukaa/zhcafkaedxs11a3y/wish/2538876077 starozhukaa https://padlet.com/starozhukaa/zhcafkaedxs11a3y/wish/2538915701 Choose one of the most significant roles of the teacher in your opinion. Prove the importance of this role to your opponent. The opponent should argue about that and provide own point of view. ]]> 2023-03-30 20:10:04 UTC https://padlet.com/starozhukaa/zhcafkaedxs11a3y/wish/2538915701 Read the abstract of the case and determine the roles of the teacher.
