Responsible for | A Study of Interactive Reading Instruction Model for Precise Understanding of Texts: Practical Combination of Top-down Processing Approach and Bottom-up Processing Approach |
Details | This paper presents an example of teaching using "Story Grammar" to appropriately extract and organize the information in a narrative text in order to grasp the outline. Since the purpose of narrative texts is to expect an emotional response from the reader, the structure of them is different from that of factual texts, which convey facts, information, or express opinions. When reading narrative texts, it is easier to grasp the outline and remember the content by using an appropriate reading comprehension strategy. The practice explained how to teach narrative texts by explicitly showing the structure of narrative texts to learners and having them acquire the structure of the texts as a formal schema. This paper is a rewrite of a paper already published in Notre Dame Seishin University (2019), "Annual Report of English Education Center - No. 4".
