Week 4 (Reading Strategies) (Continuation)

Image result for strategy


In the previous blog, i talked about pre-reading and while reading stage, so today we moved on to the post-reading strategies. 


Basically, after you read a text, you will need to summarize everything. But then, there are certain things which we should take note of.......


  1. Remember a summary should be brief.
  2. Use the author's conclusions and also look at introductions. These will have drawn together the ideas in the text.
  3. Look at the words you highlighted, or annotations you made.
  4. How would you explain what you have learnt to somebody else?
  5. Questions to guide your summary: What? Why? When? Where? How?

After the overall discussion on the article and also using the reading strategies, I think those points that Dr. Ikhlas presented are quite useful for us to read (especially for our FYP). However, the cons of those strategies could be time consuming. That is why most of us ignore the strategies presented.

Week 3: Product Approach This week, Dr. Ikhlas introduced us to the product approach of writing. I've look through the net and here is one of the definition i got: "The product-oriented approach to the teaching of writing emphasizes mechanical aspects of writing, such as focusing on grammatical and syntactical structures and imitating models. This approach is primarily concerned with "correctness" and form of the final product."  Retrieved from:  http://www.csuchico.edu/~gthurgood/232/043_processAndProduct.pdf Well there are many critics about this approach saying it is just merely an imitation of model essay and all. There are also many steps taken in this approach (provided by British Council): Stage 1 Model texts are read, and then features of the genre are highlighted. For example, if studying a formal letter, students' attention may be drawn to the importance of paragraphing and the language used to make formal requests. If studying a ...

Week 5 (Schematic Knowledge)  This week, Dr. Ikhlas continue on reading strategies, and this time it's on schematic knowledge. For example: 1) Text to self 2) Text to world 3) Text to text Eventually, this was proposed by  Keene and Zimme rman (1997), where they stated that  students comprehend better when they make different kinds of connections.  1) Text to self Text-to-self connections are highly personal connections that a reader makes between a piece of reading material and the reader’s own experiences or life. An example of a text-to-self connection might be, "This story reminds me of a vacation we took to my grandfather’s farm." 2) Text to world Text to world  Text-to-world connections are the larger connections that a reader brings to a reading situation. We all have ideas about how the world works that goes far beyond our own personal experiences. We learn about things through television, movies, magazines, and newspaper...

Today, she introduced another 2 approaches which is the process approach and genre approach. For most of us (UPM students), we are very familiar with the process approach is you had taken the LAX courses before!  "Process-oriented approaches concern the process of how ideas are developed and formulated in writing. "  Retrieved from: http://www.csuchico.edu/~gthurgood/232/043_processAndProduct.pdf  "Process approaches to writing tend to focus more on the varied classroom activities which promote the development of language use: brainstorming, group discussion, re-writing. Such an approach can have any number of stages, though a typical sequence of activities could proceed ;"  Retrieved from https://www.teachingenglish.org.uk/article/product-process-writing-a-comparis...
