Methodologies for teaching
EFL students reading have
advanced a lot in Japan over the last 20
years. However, there is an expansive gap
between texts and programs aimed at teaching the basics (phonics/word
recognition) and those aimed at managing and manipulating
content (reading for specific information/ summarizing a passage). In this presentation a teaching style developed to remedy this will be presented, discussed and tried.
