LINGUSTIC COMPETENCIES AT THE SCHOOL OF LANGUAGES.

IMPROVE YOUR READING SKILLS AND VOCABULARY KNOWLEDGE 2013

Specifically, this Seminar will provide returning students the opportunity to review various strategies when reading an academic text in order to become effective readers and thinkers. 

Regading the numerous problems ESL students can encounter when reading academic texts,  strategies become very important  because they provide the means to tackle severe problems in more efficient ways and with extra practice these errors will  become easy to correct.
In the reading comprehension domain, there is abundant evidence that reading strategies improve reading comprehension . Indeed, strategy instruction is particularly needed and effective for those students who are struggling most. 

This Seminar was held at the School of Languages, by the approval of the new Dean.

Some of the topics were Fast reading, skimming, scanning, reading by context, exploring new vocabulary (synonyms, antonyms, prefixes, suffixes).

Very glad to have an extraordinary group of hard-working, respectful and friendly students.!!
