Reading and listening strategies
Why are reading and listening strategies important? 

  • They are essential because students are then enabled to either read and understand or listen to a text and be able to understand what it is all about. They're a guide to better approach a text or audio fragment!

Slide 8 - Tekstslide

Reading with a purpose
  • Are you looking for specific information? Know exactly what you’re looking for. Scan the table of contents, index, and subheadings for the chapters or sections that can give it to you.

  • Then skim those sections until you find what you need. Pay special attention to the headings and first paragraphs. They can alert you to the main points in each section.

  • Are you trying to understand a subject or an author? Do you need to write an essay or to form your own opinions for a discussion, debate, or essay? Read critically, considering the author’s point of view and possible biases.

Slide 9 - Tekstslide

The 5 text structures

Slide 10 - Tekstslide

Description text
The description text structure describes or explains a topic, idea, person, place, or thing to give the reader a mental picture.

Examples: A book about animals describes the different kinds of whales and their habitats or the life cycle of frogs. A book about deserts describes the unique flora and fauna of that ecosystem. 

Slide 11 - Tekstslide

Slide 12 - Tekstslide

Cause and effect text
The cause and effect text structure tells why something happened (cause) and what happened (effect).

Examples: A book about weather shows how specific weather patterns can cause extreme weather such as a blizzard or a hurricane. A book about volcanoes describes how eruptions occur when an opening develops in the Earth’s crust and the molten (magma) is forced through the crack.

Slide 13 - Tekstslide

Slide 14 - Tekstslide

Compare and contrast text
The compare-and-contrast text structure examines the similarities and differences between two or more people, events, concepts, and ideas.
