閱讀教學:理論與實務

教學目標: This course introduces students to theories, research, and practices in teaching reading in an ESL or EFL context. The course will first discuss the basic reading skills that a language learner needs and the theories accounting for reading development. Next, we will discuss both classic and recent research being done in this field. Finally, we will examine some of the teaching methods and techniques as well as evaluate both online and offline instructional strategies and materials. This class will have a significant practical component, in which each student will work with an EFL student and design specific reading program tailored to his/her need. Throughout the semester, the students will develop individual online professional portfolios, which include (1) survey and evaluation of pertinent Web resources for English reading instruction, (2) annotated bibliography of research papers, (3) in-class micro-teaching and reflections, (4) documentation of Reading Tutoring Project, and (5) reflections on personal learning. Upon completion of this course students will be able to: 1.Identify strategies and practice instructional methods of researched-informed reading skills for English learners; 2.Demonstrate knowledge of pertinent reading research; 3.Facilitate students’ comprehension skills by implementing strategies that can be used during the pre-reading, during reading, and after reading stages to foster students’ English reading development. 4.Evaluate online and offline reading materials and resources in terms of readability, understandability, usability, and interestability for target EFL students; and 5.Demonstrate a reflective attitude toward their own learning and teaching processes.
