| How can we teach efficient EFL reading?
An effective way to teach EFL reading “Improving the reading skill of any student begins with identifying his weaknesses , and then implementing appropriate methods for strengthening these skills.” So the first thing for the teacher of EFL reading to do is to find out the weaknesses or problems of the students. Usually students have five major reading problems: 1. Reading word by word, relying too heavily on the visual information, which greatly impedes their breading speed and hampers their comprehension. 2. Focusing too much attention on form at the expense of meaning. 3. Paying too much attention to the details, with the request that they often miss the main ideas and see only the tress instead of forest. 4. A small reading vocabulary and heavy reliance on the use of a dictionary for word meaning. 5. Limited background knowledge. It is obvious that some of these problems result from the intensive reading, which emphasizes intensiveness and accuracy. Students analyse words, phrases and sentences before tackling the meaning. This slow word by word meaning does not mean efficient reading and by concentrating on every word they delay the transmission of information from their short – term memory to their long – term memory, which results in poor comprehension. The task before the teacher then is to help the students change their reading habits by teaching them efficient reading skills. An effective use to do this is through guided reading the term guided reading refers to timed reading conducted in class under the guidance of the teacher. in guided reading students can learn how ton read in different ways at different speeds for different purposes. The teacher can also observe how the students actually read and can give them prompt help by correcting reading habits. How to teach some of the skills through guided reading. 1. Word - attack skills. These skills enable the reader to work out the meaning of infaviliar words and phrases without looking them up in the dictionary. there are two useful word – attack skills. - Using context clues: this includes using the meanings of other words such as synonyms and antonyms in the same sentence of paragraph, or the meaning of the sentence or paragraph as a whole, to deduce the possible meaning of unfamiliar words and phrases. For example: The Indians cut their canoes out of tree trunks by using an adʒe ( an instrument for cutting something like an axe). - Using structural information: this refers to word – formation. Analysis of the stems and affixes of words can help students get the meaning of many unfamiliar words. 2. Reading in meaningful units: one of the factors that determine reading speed and comprehension is the number of words the eyes can see at one glance. The more words students can see and comprehend at one glance the greater will be their reading speed and the better will be their comprehension. Students should be able to read in meaningful units instead of isolated words. A useful way to train students to read in meaningful units is to break up a sentence into sense groups and have students focus their eyes on the middle of each sense group arranged in separate lines and try to see words on each side of the middle line.
