Pre-reading Activities to Motivate Learners
John Lowe
International Thomson Publishing

What is the purpose of pre-reading activities?  How do pre-reading activities enhance reading  comprehension?  How can students activate their prior knowledge of the subject? Using sources from a variety of reading texts, the presenter will examine these and other questions, and suggest activities to motivate your students to read.



John Lowe is the ELT regional manager for International Thomson Publishing Asia.  He has taught in Switzerland, Libya, Bulgaria, and Japan.  Immediately before joining ITP Asia, he was Director of International Centers in Tokyo, and an English Language examiner for the United Nations.
