532. Thousands of stories


One day teacher of English B said to teacher of English A, “Reading texts is an enhancing method to learn English. Do you know who the learner who achieves success in learning English is? The student that reads and rereads a text at home, a text which has not been set as homework. This student reads the text just because he or she wants to. I’m referring for example to those texts in the coursebook about our planet in the Jurassic period, or one about the love between a guy and a girl of different social classes in the 19th century. The student reads the text to just learn the story. And then he or she studies the grammar and vocabulary: analyzes, compares with the mother tongue, focus on the structure, infers a theory, remembers he or she has seen the same expression before, makes a written collection of new words, or whatever strategy that fits their style. That student learns because he or she has an effective attitude toward learning English.” / Photo from: hong kong skyscrapercitycom
