Extensive Reading: sviluppare nei bambini il piacere di legger in inglese.

Durante il corso ci è stata data la possibilità di approfondire il tema dell’EXTENSIVE READING.

Favorire il piacere della lettura è lo scopo primario di questo approccio, finalizzato anche allo sviluppo della fluidità e della velocità di lettura. Esso quindi si contrappone all’ INTENSIVE READING, secondo cui la lettura è un mezzo per lo studio dei contenuti, tipico dei libri scolastici. ERF Graded Reader List. About english-e-books.net.

Graded Readers

Graded Readers are books of various genres that are specially created for learners of foreign languages. They may be simplified versions of existing works, original stories or books that are factual in nature. They are ‘graded’ in the sense that the syntax and lexis are controlled in order to make the content accessible to learners of the language. Publishers normally issue reader series with 4-6 different reading levels to suit a range of skill levels and allow progress over time. The Extensive Reading Foundation also refers to graded readers as Language Learner Literature (LLL), indicating that they comprise a valid, ‘authentic’ type of literature aimed at a specific readership. Graded Reader Awards Through the Language Learner Literature Awards, the Extensive Reading Foundation has, since 2004, recognized the best graded readers of the previous year, with awards for each language level.

ER offers Comprehensible Input.Reading is the most readily available form of comprehensible input, especially in places where there is hardly any contact with the target language.

School is generally about hierarchies and rules. The teacher is the authority on and dispenser of the syllabus. Students are novices. Their purpose is to consume and learn the year’s programme of study and satisfy the requirements of the examination system. But, if we believe that learning is not just about passing exams, our classrooms need not follow this pattern. The transformation is astonishing. Extensive reading. The reading skill is most often taught by close study of short passages followed by analysis of language.

Extensive reading: An alternative approach Aims of extensive reading The characteristics of an extensive reading approach Motivation The teacher's role Conclusion The value of this intensive reading procedure, with its focus on the teaching of discrete reading skills has been questioned by some, who claim that teaching students reading strategies does not necessarily make them better readers. It is widely believed that people become good readers through reading, and that learning how to read should mean a focus of attention on the meaning rather than the language of the text.

As in all discussions of literacy, mention is often made of the importance of extensive or free voluntary reading in second and foreign language teaching. This method focuses on teaching readers rather than on teaching texts (Haas and Flower 1988, 169). Since we learn to read by actually reading, the aim of these methods is to build learners' reading skill by encouraging them to read more. This is a supplement to intensive reading methods, in which the learners work with activities related to set texts.
