                      Reading activities can be divided into three categories, depending on when they take place: pre-reading, reading, and post-reading.

                        Pre-reading: Collecting and defining vocabulary terms from the text will assist students in understanding words that otherwise may interrupt their reading. It will also help them increase their vocabulary in a meaningful, relevant way. Students can record the terms in a notebook or on flash cards. Another strategy involves having students preview comprehension questions so that they can focus on answering those questions as they read.

                       Reading: Teachers can guide students' interaction with the text by asking questions about literary elements, having students present oral summaries of the plot, or asking them to collect details or write observations on post-it notes. If students have previewed comprehension questions, they can answer these questions as they read.

                    Post-reading: Summarizing (see below) is an effective strategy that can take many different forms.

                    To sum up, I think this article is very good for English language teacher. If you know about the reading strategies , you can teach English or other subject well.

Today, This is my fifth in curriculum and learning management in English. I have learned about how to create syllabus and in this class.

Syllabus is an outline or brief statement of the points of discourse or the content of curriculum. If you want to create about syllabus, first, you must set “Goal or Aim” before you do it. Goal and Aim are same meaning. A both are important for syllabus. You can set goal or aim, for example –Students will be able to + V1 (communicate in English), (choose one skill form four such as listening, writing, speaking and reading) or (in macro skill). You can use one thing and the third thing will good to write your goal. Second, you must set objectives (it will support goal or aim). It can divide 2 type are enabling objective and terminal objective. Then, objective should have performance, condition and standard Third, You must set learning outcome. The last, you must set assessment and evaluation. A both are difference meaning. Assessment use to develop and  do during class, but evaluation use to examine or judge carefully and do after class. Learning language has three way: acquisition, learning and studying. So, learning language form is I+1 = comprehensible.

To sum up, I think I know about how to create syllabus and apply to do it correctly. However, I must practice it until I understand and can apply.
