เทคนิคการอ่านภาษาอังกฤษ
Reading must be seen as an acquired ability.
But acquiring it implies a lot of practice, a good
vocabulary background, good speed and intonation and
the knowledge of some techniques that can guarantee
comprehension. In this section we will concentrate on
the latter. Unfortunately we cannot give you techniques
on intonation and speed. We can not help you with the
vocabulary either, since this is a personal task and
you must get to it. Nevertheless, we can help you
understand a little better what you read. For this
purpose at the left you can find three of the most
well known techniques for reading. Click on each title
at the right to find important information. Remember
that the best way to become a great reader is enjoying
what you read.
Skimming
Skimming is a technique suitable for scientific
texts as well as for general texts. This is defined
as the search of main ideas using only the first and
last paragraphs to obtain a general view of the text.
When you are working with scientific texts applying
this technique can be easier since this type of
literature usually contains topic headings, abstracts
or summaries that might come in handy for the reader.
Another advantage of a scientific text is that they
are usually written in block of information grouped in
paragraphs. In this case the best alternative is to
read the first sentence of each paragraph. It is
important to note that this technique is used not as
a short cut to reading the whole text. It does not
mean that you can simply read the first and last
paragraphs and that you can understand everything.
This technique is used to help you get n idea of what
you are about to read. Skimming is like having a map
before entering a city. It is less likely that you get
lost if you have previous information.
