Unit 5 Reading

In this unit, we just remembered about reading. It is one of the four skills well-known as receptive skill because it makes you to read to catch the ideas to your mind rather than producing such writing and speaking. Reading skill is essential to develop critical thinking and understanding the words written. There are crucial skills for L2 learners to understand the text. According to Dudley-Evans & St John (1998), select what is important, skimming for the meaning, understanding the sentence. That makes easier for learners to get the idea in a reading text. When we are going to present a new topic we always have to present some help to students can understand unknow words, after we can make predictions to develop critical thinking and finally we can discuss or summarize, those strategies are used by teacher to foster students’ reading, British council Institute Language Teaching (2006). To deal with reading skill we can adapt several strategies to our classes to develop reading skills and teach students understand the text. We can doing apply the strategies given by the fault like skimming or scanning also, we can apply intensive reading and so on. Another one could be making some warm up to catch students attention and jeopardize using useless activities that could spend our worthy time.
