READING SKILL WITH A GRAMMAR POINT

Incorporating different skills into the lessons is really important because reaching as many students as possible is our aim. In this ways, we have the chance to encourage our students to participate in the activities. To make grammatical points be internalized on the part of the students, we can benefit from reading skill a lot. What can we do with a reading activity? we should choose a meaningful passage covering the target structure and the function. Your text may include different people's plans in the future. While making the students read the text, we may include a pronunciation game (it is like a game in which one of the student starts to read the text and if s/he makes a pronunciation error, then the turn will be given to the next student). After all the students take part in reading the text, you can ask some questions related to the passage in the target structure like "what is Sandra going to do?" Also, you may provide your students with a task in which the ss are provided with some kinds of plans taken from the text and asked to find out the person whose plan given there. At the last stage there should be some comprehension questions so as to give the ss the chance to produce sentences in the target structure.

SO ı like reading very much and ı will make use of this skill a lot in my future lessons because ı want my students read a lot in their daily lives. I believe that most of the students will get bored, but if we enrich reading time with different materials the ss will gradually have fun. What do you think about this skill? What can be done with listening for sake of making reading an enjoyable task? ı am waiting for your creativity:D
