Teaching Comprehension and Reading
Credit Hours:
3.00
Detailed Syllabus:
This course will emphasize on reading and comprehension and on vocabulary expansion. The course will explore reasons for teaching reading to students. Students will be encouraged to assess their own comprehension, actively test comprehension using questionnaires, and by improving metacognition. Teaching conceptual and linguistic knowledge is also advantageous.
