week 10 reading reflection

My reading experience

 

When I was junior high or high school student, I was taught English reading based upon grammar-translation. I always translated English into Japanese word by word or sentence by sentence. Any other reading skill except for grammar-translation was taught by teacher at that time. I really hate that because it is not useful if our proficiency level advanced. However, when I was university student, I learned SQ3R system. I think it is really helpful when we read. When I become a teacher, I would like to introduce SQ3R system to my students in the future.

There are a lot of reading assignments now. I would like to know and acquire more effective reading skills. It is good for me and my future students.

Reading is very important in aquiring a language. It broadens students' vocabulary and contextualizes words. So you do not only learn one word but words associated with certain words in context.
