I am thinking about Krashen's lecture yesterday. To be honest, I never have heard about who he is. Bill and Tom mentioned about Krashen many times. He talked about linguistic approach
of learning English. His way is quite different what I tried in my class. I saw many people were sitting reading books at starbucks in Toronto downtown. I think that Krashen's focuses on using English for academic purpose and contents base language class. Academic reading is very difficult than a novel or comics. He said academic reading is needed to study language academically.
Krashen has a PhD of grammar, grammar is one of my complexes to study English. I believed grammar is the most essential components of English. We learned about Tom's class 6 components of the language, grammar is one of parts. In my memory we studied focus on grammar, I had very difficult time don't understanding of the terms of general English class in Seoul. It was horrible!!! English grammar is very important to go to top Universities in Seoul.
I am thinking about my presentation yesterday. I originally planned that what the topic of this article is.
The reading activity#2 Harmer P.291 has no title of the article. How can we make a title of story after reading a text. I found Krashen and Harmer are thinking same way. The main purpose of reading is that understanding what happened related 6wh questions base, vocabulary and grammar are next matter.
Now I got it how to teach reading effectively. I'm having difficult time to teach story to young children.
I have classes tomorrow what can I do for them?
Now I am start thinking tomorrow reading class.
People in here use so many educational theories or name. What's Chomsky school? What's Reggio Emilia English school? How about Krashen English school? I'm just wondering they who are using the name really know what's Chomsky said.
