Description
Academic Reading Circles provides a teacher-resource guide for implementing a learner-centred reading skills approach. This intensive reading method combines individual investigation with collaborative construction of knowledge through group sharing and discussion, aiming to improve learner engagement with non-fiction texts. The book offers a comprehensive overview of the Academic Reading Circles (ARC) approach, including its introduction, five roles learners undertake when reading a text, detailed examples, solutions for groupings and assessment, and downloadable activities. This resource is suitable for teacher use in pre-sessional or in-sessional EAP programs at the university level, as well as secondary and general ESL/EFL teachers. By using this approach, educators can facilitate more effective learning and improve student understanding of complex concepts in non-fiction texts.
