Reading Connection
Chris Balderston
Oxford University Press
Have you made the connection? Research indicates that reading is one
of the best ways to learn a new (or even your native) language. Reading
enhances students' vocabulary, structure, composition, and many other language
skills. So how are you using reading in your classroom?
Oxford University Press recommends the use of supplementary reading
material in your classes. Come find out how to successfully incorporate
graded readers and dictionaries into your courses.
Also learn some ways to encourage students to make reading a life-long
learning process.
Discover new ways to combine the phonics and whole language approaches
to teaching reading. Learn how to teach students to read differently for
facts, gist, comprehension, etc. The presenter will teach you some games,
activities, and techniques to make your reading lessons fun and efficient.
There will even be some free books and prizes!
