Abstract. This article discusses the process of designing reading activities, reading strategies
and students
’
needs based on reading materials and stages of reading activities in designing
reading materials for the students of ESP classes.
Keywords: ESP learners, reading strategies, reading techniques.
Reading is active process of trying to comprehend and obtain the text. Reading
comprehension requires active participation of the readers and their ability to seek, organize and
reformulate the information in their own words, resorting to their own experiences and background
knowledge. To prepare ESP students to read is one of the crucial tasks for us as they are required to
become skillful in getting information without planning any strategic steps i.e. organizing ideas,
taking notes, using reference skills, etc. In this regard, there are many kinds of effective
instructional activities which can help students comprehend and remember what they read and
develop multiple strategies to achieve reading comprehension skills. According to the students
’
needs, ESP teachers should prepare good reading materials to encourage the teaching-learning
process. Designing creative and interesting reading materials is really important demand as a
requirement in delivering their materials. The selected reading materials should be arranged
carefully and systematically so that teaching-learning process can be conducted effectively and
informative. Tomlinson (2012) argues that materials for language learning are those which are used
to facilitate language learning. Printed materials, course books, websites, videos, and readings are
some of the different materials teachers use in their classes. Materials also vary as they inform
students about the target language (informative), provide experience of the language use
(experiential), help to make discoveries about the language (exploratory), guide to practice the
language (instructional), or encourage use of the language (eliciting). The author points out that the
ideal material should include all the previous elements. Tomlinson highlights that material
development is a very important part in the teaching processes. Material development can be seen
as a field of academic study as it involves reflection, design, production, evaluation, adaptation, and
piloting. According to Harwood (2010), the need to develop materials must suit the contexts in
which they are going to be used. According to Brown (2004), there are reading strategies to develop
comprehension skills which can be applied in the classroom:
➢
Identify your purpose in reading a text;
➢
Apply spelling rules and conventions for bottom-up decoding;
➢
Use lexical analysis (prefixes, roots, suffixes, etc.) to determine meaning;
➢
Guess at meaning (of words, idioms) when you aren
’
t certain;
➢
Scan the text for specific information (names, dates, key words);
➢
Use silent reading techniques for rapid processing;
➢
Distinguish between literal and implied meanings;
➢
Capitalize on discourse markers to process relationships.
These strategies can help students to cope with reading texts. K. Westerfield (2012) suggests
the following pre-reading, while-reading and post-reading (follow-up) activities to accompany a
text.
