They might wantto role-play the in response tot. As we saw above, they mation into other medi We can alsoask the students to folow up topics which they have read about in class,on ‘the internet or in other places. By doing this, they continue working with the same kind of topic vocabulary and have a motive toread mace. ‘The vocabulary question Ithas often been said that studes der to beable to understand iow about 95 percent of the words in a text for example, Hisch and Nation 1992).

And if that i the case, ve wil find ourselves facing 2 common reading lesson paradox: teachers encourage thet students to read for general understanding, without worrying about the meaning of every single words the stucents, on the other hand, ae desperate to tmow shat each individual word means Given halt chance, many of them would rather tackle a reacing passage with a dictionary in one hand anda pen in the other, and wite translations al over the page. tis easy to be h student preferences, yet there issome rer strange about asking ovr 0 access that meaning!

Finally (pemaps after new groups of eight have been fommed ~it depends ‘on time and the atmosphere inthe clas) the students can look forthe meanings oftheir \wordsin gitionares and or we can answer questions about the words whieh the groups have decided on. This process wots fortwo reasons. Inthe fist place, the students may well be abe to tell each other about some ofthe words which indvidual students did not know. More important, pethaps, isthe fact that by the time we are asked for meanings the students ‘ally do want to now them because the intervening process has encouraged them to invest some tim in the meaning search. ‘Understanding every word! has been changed iato a cooperative leaning taskn its on right. . Analytical reading (text mining) ‘One ofthe main reasons that language learners read isto improve their levical and ‘grammatical knowledge. This may be achieved through reaeated extensive But it can abo happen when we mine texts for new language or language use w ‘Our students should pay ater ‘text they encounter analytically.
