Key Points from the reading
- Prereading and During-reading phases of reading and writing across the curriculum are crucial
- If students don't develop a clear purpose for reading, they will not be efficient content-area readers and learners. They will not be able to monitor their comprehension if they aren't clear about what they should be learning.
- Second language learners experience difficulties in learning L2 vocabularies because the relabeling of concepts they have acquired in the native language with foreign terminologies makes it difficult for them to retrieve the newly learned words in the target language.
- Techniques that teachers can use to teach vocabulary: picture flash cards, enrichment packets, semantic maps, or webs; and songs, games and TPR.
- Deep learning requires not only comprehending but also remembering and communicating what they have learned.
