Not easy, it is? :Not easy, it is? First of all, the mole pushes its sharp nose into the soil to test it. To pass the test, the soil must be loose so the mole can dig into easily.

Read naturally. What do your mistakes mean? :Read naturally. What do your mistakes mean? The boys arrows were nearly gone so they sat down on the grass and stopped hunting. Over at the edge of the wood they saw Henry making a bow to a small girl who was coming down the road. She had tears in her dress and also tears in her eyes. She gave Henry a note which he brought over to the group of young hunters. Read to the boys, it caued great excitement.

Slide 9:Better Way of Improving English Dear Editor, I’m writing in response to a January 22 Korea Times article “Speaking to Get More Weight in English Class”. I believe Korea is making a very serious mistake in emphasizing speaking in English class. Research done over the last 3 decades has shown that we acquire language by understanding what we hear and read. The ability to produce language is the result of language acquisition, not the cause.


Slide 10:Better Way of Improving English The best way to improve speaking is therefore to increase the amount of comprehensible listening and reading that students do, and the easiest and most cost effective way to make this happen is to develop libraries of interesting and comprehensible English books and recordings to supplement English class. Setting up libraries would be far more efficient than bringing in expensive foreign teachers and setting up English camps.


Slide 11:Better Way of Improving English I hope policymakers will consult the extensive research on second language acquisition, some done by Korean scholars, and consider easier, better and less costly ways of improving English in Korea.

Slide 31:Reading and Writing “Like writing, reading is an act of composition. When we write, we compose thoughts on paper. When we read, we compose meaning in our minds. Thoughtful active readers use the text to stimulate their own thinking and to engage with the mind of the writer.” Stephanie Harvey, Strategies That Work, 2000, 14.


Slide 32:What are “reading” and “writing”? Reading is the process of acquiring information from the text. It is social (conventional) and learned. Writing is the process of putting information into text. It is social (conventional) and learned.
