4. Exploring learning strategies for reading
Objective: to help participants explore learning strategies for reading
Time: 15 minutes
Materials: Handout 2
Interaction: pair work, plenary
Procedure:
 Tell participants that they were talking about what we read and now they will think how our pupils read texts. Say that there are different learning strategies for reading on Handout 2, they are called learning or learners’ strategies because our learners use them when they read. Explain that they are teachers now and in pairs they will decide which learning strategies are effective and which are ineffective from a teacher’s point of view. Say that together you will do the first two learning strategies. Distribute Handout 2.
 Ask participants why A) strategy is given as ineffective, although it is very popular in English lessons.
Possible answer:
Teachers often ask their pupils to read long texts one by one. This strategy is ineffective, because it slows a reader and takes a lot of time.
 Ask participants what the aims of reading aloud in real life are.
Possible answers:
We read fairy-tales to children; we read information to a person who does not have his/her spectacles.
 Ask participants when it is appropriate to ask pupils to read aloud in class.
Possible answers:
When pupils do exercises on pronunciation, intonation or when pupils role-play.
 Ask participants why strategy B) is given as effective. Accept their answers.
 Ask participants to discuss in pairs and to write if strategies C), D), E) are
effective or ineffective in lessons. Give them 5 minutes.
 Check answers and ask participants to give their reasons.
Answer Key: Read the learning strategies A – F. Think and write if they are effective
to be used in lessons by your pupils. Some examples are given to you
