Learning Reflection

I think  this course is important and different for studying but it makes me understand more than I did.Thank you in advance to Asst. Prof. Dr.Usa Noytim for teaching  English Reading Strategies and giving lots of new experiences. English reading strategies is a good course for impoving English skills.The advatages of this course makes me to know how to find the main idea in each paragraphs, speaking the words correctly, summarize the text the teacher giving, using skimming and scanning in the text, using Cambridge dictionary on website.etc    Many students read and have little or no recall. This can be due to an inability to concentrate, to a lack of prior knowledge, or because the vocabulary is too difficult. If after two rereadings the passage still confuses, then students should seek assistance from a peer or the teacher.

Extensive Reading.

On 17 November 2015, Today, The teacher taught about "Extensive Reading.'' When the class started. She gave us reading the text and did the exercises-comprehension1 and comprehension2 around 15 minutes. Then I read the text, I would look at the heading of the text first and sub-heading of the paragraph. And then I previewed the article of Simply read for speed reading. After I had already read previewing, I used scanning again for keeping reading and interpretation story. I read the questions and found the answers. I think this text was easy but sometimes I didn't know the vocabularies or main idea of each paragraph, I would look at the content around the article of Simply read and open dictionary for finding the meaning. After I had done the exercises, the lecturer gave us corective feedback. Next, She gave us around 30 minutes for preparing for the test. It's time for testing.She gave us the test papers, expained how to do the test and let's start the test.
