Authentic Reading Student's book: A Course in Reading Skills for Upper-Intermediate Students by Walter Catherine (1982-11-01) Paperback

by Catherine Walter

Authentic Reading teaches students to read actively, interpreting and indeed re-creating the text for themselves just as proficient readers do in their own language. It provides authentic texts from a variety of British and American sources; interesting, practical exercises in general reading strategies; and special practice in those areas where learners most often make mistakes in comprehension. The book offers valuable preparation for the revised Cambridge First Certificate Examination. The Teacher's Book not only includes a key to the exercises and specific guidance for using the units in the classroom; it also gives detailed suggestions for using the theme of each unit as a basis for further language work. This includes a wide range of activities for oral fluency practice, writing tasks, and vocabulary work.
