日期/時間: 2012.11.10 (Sat) 上午9:40-10:40

地點: 334教室

講者: Justin Kaley

內容簡介:

Most experts agree that lack of adequate vocabulary is one of the key obstacles to reading comprehension. However, with an estimated 1 million plus words in the English language – not to mention a seemingly endless number of idiomatic expressions – attaining a sufficient mastery of vocabulary needed to read can prove to be a daunting, and, at times, frustrating task to any learner. Despite the enormous challenge, there are tried and true methods for students to overcome the vocabulary blues. This workshop will introduce ways for teachers to provide a full vocabulary ‘workout’ in each reading class. By explicitly focusing on and recycling key words, using effective pre/post-reading activities, and introducing vocabulary strategies such as utilizing context to deduce meaning and mnemonics to remember words, teachers can design a comprehensive program that nurtures both reading ability and vocabulary acquisition simultaneously.
