Reading for general purposes

As the name suggests Reading for General Purposes focuses on reading texts with general topics and for general purposes. In this course, Reading is approached intensively, with clear goals, e.g. answering comprehension questions, studying the vocabulary, and learning the subject matter. 

To achieve the goals, in this course you will be:

1. Focusing on new language such as vocabulary and grammar

2. Focusing on ideas such as themes and topics

3. Learning new skills such as making inferences and identifying main ideas

4. Paying attention to text features such as genre structure and cohesion

This course will be conducted fully online and mostly in asynchronous mode. In every session, students have to watch the videos, read books/handouts, do worksheets and join discussion forums as well as play games, all of which have been placed/ embed in the learning management system. Concurrently, all students are encouraged to have individual independent practice through Readtheory platform. Reports of the independent practice and module completion will be checked regularly.
