Haloo, as I mentioned in the previous post,
this time I will continue the next stage of the learning method, they are During
Reading Activities and Post-reading Activities. Happy reading :)
During Reading Activities
1. The Text (as a whole class)
This activity shows
students how the text is arranged to reach the genre. At this stage, the
teacher guides the class in discussing text features. Then, the teacher tells
students that the language features that are typical of the genre are as
follows:
• Material processes in
past tense are employed to retell what happened in the past.
• Verbal processes are
used to project the comment by expert in sources stage.
• Many circumstances are
applied to tell when, where, and how the events happened.
2. Stop and Think (in pairs)
The teacher asks
students to read the text in pairs and asks them to discuss what they have just
read, paraphrase it, identifying the main ideas, and make questions from the
text in pairs.
3. Reciprocal Teaching (as a whole
class)
At this stage, the whole
class discusses to produce questions, make summaries, predict and clarify the
text. The teacher monitors student performance and confirms whether students
can use new vocabulary, express ideas and concepts, and connect ideas related
to the text.
4. Finding the Main Idea (as a whole
class)
The teacher asks
students to find the main ideas in the paragraph or the entire text.
5. Signal Words (as a whole class)
The signal word is used
to indicate a particular text pattern and to show how these words function in
the text. For example, 'so' indicates cause and effect. Teaching these words
and their functions can give the reader a new or different idea to understand
the text.
6. Key Words (as a whole class)
The teacher asks
students to identify key words to distinguish important words from less
important words in the text by asking the following questions:
• What was the event?
• When did the event
occur?
• Where did the event
occur?
• Who was involved in
the event?
• How did the event
occur?
• Why did the event
occur?
7. Developing Data Banks (as a whole
class)
The teacher asks students to write
important words and often appear in student notebooks to help develop their
vocabulary.
Post-reading Activities
1. Cloze Passages (as a whole class)
This activity is
designed to help students (readers) develop vocabulary, understand cohesion in
the text, and investigate the text further.
2. Comprehension Questions (individual)
Comprehension questions
are asked to students to confirm their understanding of the contents of the
entire text. The teacher prepares a question sheet that contains various
questions for each student to do individually. The question is:
a. True or False Questions
- Computer training is offered on the trains. True or False?
- The training is offered on morning trains. True or False?
b. Alternative Questions
- Was the first lesson
on March 26 or March 30?
- Was the first lesson
English or Russian?
c. WH-questions
- How many languages are
taught on the trains?
- Why are the lessons
given on the trains?
After students complete
this activity, the teacher checks their answers together in the class to
confirm their understanding of the context before moving on to the next
activity.
3. Compare Ideas (in pairs)
The teacher asks
students to make a chart to ask questions to their partners and fill in their
answers on the chart. Example:
4. Discussion (as a whole class)
Discussing topics helps
students (readers) to connect text themes to their experiences and develop
their understanding. Examples of questions are:
• Do you want to study
language on trains? Why?
• Do you think language
training on trains is a good idea?
Why?
The answers to these questions are
not in the text. Therefore, students must use their own ideas to answer
questions about the topic.
Thus the stages of this learning method, I hope that it will be
useful for you guys ^_^
