Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
How does reading work? How does it work in a foreign language? And what does that mean for EFL teaching? In the EFL classroom, reading is not just an important basic skill in itself, but often a starting point for the productive skills as well. Students are expected, at all levels of proficiency, to be able to speak and write about what they have read. All the more reason, then, to investigate in detail the various components and processes that seem to take place while reading and use these findings to develop principles and practices of teaching reading in a foreign language. From the most basic cognitive principles of understanding we will move towards very specific reading contexts that involve readers at all levels and a range of texttypes to be read.
