10. Extensive reading vs. Intensive reading Many studies have been conducted to distinguish extensive reading from intensive reading. For instance, Uden (2003) states that extensive reading imitates reading in the first language in the way that its key elements are purpose and pleasure. It is based on easy material that is chosen by the learner to build language fluency and. ER allows learners to process language faster and improves comprehension. While, intensive reading refers to the careful reading
designed to discuss the effects of the extensive reading approach compared with the intensive reading approach for language learners’ reading and give some considerations for implementing the extensive reading in EFL classroom. There is definite limitations that the current intensive reading approach cannot guide second language learners to be fluent and pleasant readers. Many studies and research prove the positive effects of extensive reading on reading speed, reading fluency, vocabulary development and
What is reading? Reading" is the process which involves looking at a series of written symbols and getting meaning from them. When we read, we use our eyes to receive written symbols (letters, punctuation marks and spaces) and we use our brain to convert them into words, sentences and paragraphs that communicate something to us. Reading can be silent (in our head) or aloud (so that other people can hear). Reading is a receptive skill by which we receive information but the process of reading also needs
this course. I intend to incorporate the researched practices into my reading program. Allington addressed several critical components of instruction necessary to ensure reading interventions are delivered with the best intentions and students are responding successfully to the reading interventions. However, my “aha-moments” included the topics: the volume of reading, matching students’ independent and instructional reading levels to appropriate texts, expert interventionist, matching intervention

Extensive reading can prove to be beneficial to learners if they are exposed to it since a young age in Mauritius. For instance it can be said that there is a poor reading culture in Mauritius. It cannot be ignored that some students do like reading but if an Extensive Reading Programme was introduced then it could motivate more learners to read. The benefits of reading a lot should be made clear to learners so that they can develop the habit to read. As a hypothesis, extensive reading and extensive
accumulate information through various modes other than reading. Yet, reading continues to provide maximum pleasure and knowledge. It is commonly observed that those who read more excel in all the areas of academic life. Reading helps us to understand the thoughts and feelings of various writers. It improves our way of expression and creativity. Reading is about understanding the written texts. It can be either intensive or extensive. Intensive reading is a minute and detailed study of the prescribed prose-text
knowledge can be expanded through considerable exposure to literary texts which treat both formal and informal language. Reading short stories and novels is a good exercise for enlarging your vocabulary domain of knowledge (Khatib, 2011). Quite in line with the principles of CLT (Van, 2009), literature is rich with innumerable authentic tokens of language for the development of reading, writing, speaking and listening skills. For writing purposes, literature appears to be a good base for writing practice
The difference between an intensive property and an extensive property is that the extensive property of a substance whereas an intensive property does not. Density is an example of intensive property of a substance Extensive property example: mass 2. In order to calculate the density of a solid or liquid sample, what measurements are needed? Mass and volume 3. The
Summary of Four Articles on Reading Skills Fenton-Smith, B. and Stillwell, C. (2010). Reading discussion groups for teachers: connecting theory to practice. ELT Journal, 65(3), pp.251-259. In the article ‘Reading discussion groups for teachers: connecting theory to practice’, the authors Fenton-Smith and Stillwell, made an argument in support of reading discussion groups for teachers, they suggested that RDGs can make that ‘connection between theory, research and practice’ and suggest that it is
