English Reading Class

In my opinion, comprehension is a key point of reading. There are a lot of reading strategies, for instance, Activate prior knowledge, Summarize the gist, Using Visualization and so on. I think using visualization is very important for me. When you can draw pictures for each paragraph , you can realize the whole text. Besides, you can tell others what the story you are reading is. Surely, reading strategy depend on each person favor. so, chose a suitable reading strategy is very important.

The most efficiency method in my English reading class is cooperative learing. In traditional English reading calss, always teacher translate the text , students copy the translation. We do not need to use our brain and mind, whereas cooperative learing is active. Each group, each crew can discuss and share their own ideas and translate the text. It not only can understand other people's concept but also can translate the text in better smooth words.

Forthmore, this method can push yourself to forward and strive to learn due to peers stress. This is the great harvest I learned from English reading class. That is the reason why I love our English reading class. If you can combine the ideal reading strategy with the cooperative learing, I think your English will improve a lot.
