Tue, Aug 8, 16:45-17:20 Asia/Makassar

It is generally acknowledged that extensive reading contributes more to the acquisition of language competence than classroom learning, especially for younger learners aged from 3 to 16. Most language schools which are still struggling through only classroom learning turned out to be unavailing. Thus the presenter started their trials of integrating ER program with IR course and helped the students to achieve more. In this presentation, the presenter would like to share their experience of how they integrated ER to the curriculum, including how to do the diagnostic tests and periodical assessments for the students; how to choose the proper ELL or ESL readers for them accordingly; how to setup the targeted skills and strategies for both IR & ER course; how to guide the in-classroom ER course and lead the at-home ER practices, and how students benefit from Extensive Reading.
