RECOMMENDED BOOKS 4 TEACHERSI highly recommend the following two books for ideas and some general theory on how toteach writing. Purchase them for reference.See my own presentation as well – Teaching Reading and Writing1. HOW TO TEACH WRITING- Jeremy HarmerVery insightful and cleanly, simply written.The author explores through example anddescription, all the facets and theory behindthat “looking glass” which we call teaching. Iuse this as a course text for my methodologyclass for in-service teachers.2. Oxford Basics: Simple Writing Activites- Jill and Charles HadfieldThis book (and series) is a gem! JillHadfield knows what working <strong>EFL</strong> / ESLteachers need and in this book there are30 simple writing activities whichteachers can use with a wide variety oflevels and with only a chalkboard and apiece of chalk / paper.
INTENSIVE READINGUSING TEXT TO FOSTER LANGUAGE DEVELOPMENT“Give a man a fish; you have fed him for today.Teach a man to fish; and you have fed him for a lifetime”Reading is a skill that is best developed by a teacher that follows these 3 main tenets.1. Enjoyment: Allow students to choose or choose reading material that your studentswill enjoy and therefore more actively try to decode.2. Ease: Texts should be appropriate for the student’s level. Apply the 3 finger rule. Ifa student holds up 3 or more fingers for words they don’t know on a page –toss the text!3. Connection: Students will learn more if they are given specific strategies and“context” or background (pictures / music / stories ) that helpthem “connect” with the text. The text will have personal meaning ifthey make a connection (text to text / text to self / text to the world).These can both be accomplished through either “extensive” or “intensive” reading oftexts.Let’s look specifically at:a) how an intensive reading lesson can be interactive and student centeredb) how exercises can be made to deconstruct and deepen the text.c) several basic extensive reading exercises that can be used with any text.
