Study Reading is a
course for learners of intermediate level or above who need to
develop their reading skills for study purposes. The book is divided
into three parts. Part 1 introduces basic reading skills. Part 2 is
theme based, with texts from a variety of disciplines, and aims to
extend the skills introduced in Part 1. Part 3 covers the reading
skills required for project, dissertation and thesis work.
Study Reading encourages learners to reflect on their current
reading strategies. By doing a variety of task-based,
problem-solving activities, learners are encouraged to refine their
reading strategies through exposure to the ideas of others. The book
also gives direct advice on how to improve reading efficiency.
Study Reading is part of a series, Study Writing, Study Listening,
Study Speaking, Study Skills, Study Tasks. Second Editions of Study
Speaking, Listening and Skills will appear at the same time as the
Second Edition of Study Reading. The Second Edition of Study Writing
will appear in late 2005. We are not planning a second edition of
Study Tasks.
Study Reading:
• adopts a learner centred approach suitable for both classroom use
and self-study.
• has clearly labelled sections which allow users to select and
focus on the skills areas most appropriate to their needs.
• includes authentic texts from textbooks, journals, reference works
and study guides currently used in universities, colleges, and other
institutions of higher learning.
• can also be used by students working on their own. The book
contains a detailed answer key.
The Second Edition has been updated to include not only more recent
texts in the disciplines represented but also to take account of new
media with the growth of on-line resources. For the first time too,
activities are included for IELTS practice. |
