Befor-Reading part1 transcript

hello again with our strategic reading book as we have already seen in our first week we need now to go ahead and deal with these strategic reading and the stages of strategic freedom in this part sequence 2 of this book our concern is about the pre-reading strategies let's have a look at the objectives of these slides first learn to manipulate how to manipulate basic reading comprehension strategies before reading to start a text Second Use background knowledge by the readers three manipulate scheming and scanning to preview the text and finally differentiate between perfume and predicting before reading strategies of course as this stage requires a reader to take few minutes to get an idea of what the author might be trying to say he or she can rely on a couple of before reading strategies first activate background knowledge second preview the text three skimming and scanning the text or portions of the text and finally predicting of course before doing so the video needs to activate background knowledge but before all what does background knowledge mean background knowledge comprises all the words knowledge that readers brings to this to to the task and this includes episodic knowledge and we mean here events declarative knowledge and here we mean facts procedure knowledge this is the how-to and finally related vocabulary and this is of course according to quench 1998 to say a word about the meaning of prior knowledge you need to know that knowledge has to do with prior which means before and knowledge means information so prior knowledge means before the information as for background knowledge prior or background knowledge requires thinking about any previous knowledge or experience that can one connect to the text for example if the text is about bilingualism the reader knows that by means to and lingualism means no language the video will use this previous knowledge to learn more about this topic the reader cannot learn new things about bilingualism until it is linked to his or her prior knowledge or previous knowledge and this has to do with the recalling his or her previous knowledge about these specific topic we would like to introduce you to how to activate your background knowledge so there are a number of frequently asked questions like what subject is the text about why was a text written who was the text written for why should somebody read this text and finally what type of text is it and of course we have other types of questions to in order to help the reader knows about the topic of the text to be read the following questions may help you get ready what do I know about the title what do I know about the topic why what do I know about the author what do I know about the characters in case I'm reading a story and what do I know about the bold words meaning making connections between the readers previous knowledge and the text before started read will help him or her get engaged and retain what he or she is reading and this is the new knowledge always Under The Heading of active active background activating background knowledge we would like to introduce you to two examples the first example is about a reading a text about healthy and inexpensive inexpensive dish the video will we call his or her knowledge about healthy food words like low caloric calorie food natural vegetables fruits may come to his mind for inexpensive words like cheap low priced low-cost Etc are also related to this word unhealthy food the reader might know the words like junk food hamburger and cake Etc the prior knowledge will help him or her in interpreting the text during the wild reading stage which will be presented in our second stage of this week another type of reading can be read in a novel before you start reading the old man on the sea of Ernest timingway you can ask yourself the following questions what do you know about Ernest Hemingway what do I know about the characters of this Source what do I know about The Old Man and the Sea you may have some previous knowledge then your answer your answers can look like Earnest Hemingway is an American novelist Santiago and monolin are the main characters it is a story of an old fisherman who engages in a legendary battle to catch a giant marlin and succeeds to meet his goal in brief today's knowledge will become tomorrow's background knowledge according to Pearson 2006 and thank you for watching see you in next slide which continue more practice about it before reading strategies bye bye for now
