Learning Reflection

                   

              In this course “English Reading Strategies (1551108)” I studied with Dr.Usa Noytim. 

Throughout the study in this course is learning about the strategies that useful to read in English such as Skimming ,Scanning,Guessing meaning from context and Previewing.
This course helps me to improve my reading that I can read faster and know how to find the key word.

                              

     

                My problem in this course  is when I have to summarize the text. I can’t summarize it in my own word it’s too difficult for me.

                                                              

              I want to say thank you to Dr.Usa Noytim who is the instructor in this course and be patient to us. You are my role model to be a good teacher and I wanted to get the chance to to study abroad like you.

         The teacher let us known about Biography of Ann Landers. It was about the problem that many people sent to Ann Landers to help they solve the problem.After that, she let us read and did the exercise –match the each letter with correctly responds.  

         After that she told us to do another exercise. We have to answer each question about What’s her advice?  What’s the problem?  Next  we read the letter that it was sent to Ann and tried to write the respond and gave them the advice.

                         

I used predicting, scanning, and skimming to read this lesson.

I feel very serious with the final exam because I don’t want to fail the final exam  .

Week12 Read faster

http://www.melbournehypnosis.net.au/reading-faster/

                              On Monday 31st October, I learn about “Read faster she opened the Cambridge dictionary for teaching how to pronounce the words “accurate” and “accuracy.”

accurate (adj.) /ˈæk.jə.rət/ = correct, exact, and without any mistakes.

accuracy (n.) /ˈæk.jə.rə.si/ = the fact of being exact or correct.

                After that, she gave us the handout that was about “Read faster”.  

So, I told my friend that “I think if I read I had to understand about the topic, I should read 2 or 3 time. First time, I scan the word if I don’t know of meaning I guess word. And second time, I fine definition of difficult word and the last time I read again and compose meaning”

   And then, we did the activities in the handout.

1. Good reader always reads at the same speed.

2. You should focus on one word at a time.

3. You can only understand every word a text if you read it slowly.

4. You need to understand every word of what you are reading.

5. You should always read from the first word in a text to the last.

6. You should use a dictionary as soon as you come across an unknown word.

 I found the faster reading that was easy and good for me because of it made me used the time for reading decrease from the past.

 http://www.slideshare.net/sasknic/extensive-readingfall2013adv

               We started with pre-reading that the instructor asked us the question that what kind of reading do we read? She asked us to discuss with my partner about       “what is the extensive reading” and “do you often read in English for your private study?”   

Difficult word.

Develop :  /dɪˈvel.əp/ meaning : to (cause something to) grow or change into a more advanced, larger, or stronger form

Development :  /dɪˈvel.əp.mənt/ meaning : the process in which someone or something grows or changes and becomes more advanced

Developing :  /dɪˈvel.ə.pɪŋ/ meaning : A developing country or area of the world is poorer and has less advanced industries, especially in Africa, Latin America, or Asia

Extensive :  /ɪkˈsten.sɪv/ meaning : covering a large area; having a great range.

                And then We read about the research of extensive reading and summarized in which paragraph. The words in this passage was very difficult. I had to used guessing word meaning and after that I used dictionary online to find the answer. When finished class I had to read the passage again in my home. I tried to make more understand the passage and practiced how to summarize.I think the summarize each paragraph was very difficult for me.

I used the previewing, finding references, and making inferences for reading the text.

 http://www.differencebetween.info/difference-between-skimming-and-scanning

                                      Teacher gave me the handout and she taught me about “what is scanning” and “how to read by using the scanning.   

let me sit in a group. We help each other to answer. 

When scanning you:

1. Need to have a question in mind-what the specific information you need;

2. Decide on a key word or expressions that will signal the needed information;

3. Do not read every word, i.e. you can skip over unimportant words or read only the words that answer your questions; and

4. Need to read fast.

 

 This class we only used scanning.

 

https://www.google.co.th/search?q=expat+in+asia+blog&biw=980&bih=590&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjSyNvh3qPQAhXMpo8KHf28BasQ_AUICCgD&dpr=1#tbm=isch&q=scanning+skill&imgdii=rLKy4bfMtBAcjM%3A%3BrLKy4bfMtBAcjM%3A%3B8SdiAwmiCWOS5M%3A&imgrc=rLKy4bfMtBAcjM%3A 

 

I did the exercise 1 -9 in the handout.

Exercise 1:  I had to read and work quickly about reader’s digest.

Exercise 2:  That was about the index.

Exercise 3:  It was about the telephone listings.

Exercise 4:  That was about the house advertisements.

Week 9 West meets East [Continue]

Mon/03/Oct/2559

                  
                   Last week about West meets East. We are checked the answers part comprehension 1 and 2 and then teacher ordered to answers part vocabulary focus 1    

Part grammar: we often introduce within a sentence using like and such as.

Examples:

1. Some of the best actors or actresses in my country like Chompoo Araya have become popular throughout Asia.

2. Many foods from my country such as papaya salad, curry green, and stir fried noodles, have become popular overseas.

Part speaking: Discuss the questions with a partner.

A: The text mentions many celebrities, foods, and products from Asia. Which are you familiar with? Do you like them?

B: Foods, it had many kind and special.

I think this part is  very easy because answers about own ideas.


       And then I read and answer Expat in Asia. 
I used guessing word meaning and predicting to read this topic.Because I didn't know the meaning every words. When the teacher finished explain, I used dictionary online to find the meaning of the word.
