Reading Skills for Progress
A TEFL reading syllabus for each proficiency level should be designed to incorporated all the skills necessary to provide a sense of moving forward; of achievement and progress.
In the Elementary TEFL Reading programme, students should aim to demonstrate a recognition of words and sentence patterns in English and also understand the conventions (punctuation and layout) of English.
In the Intermediate TEFL Reading programme, students should aim to explore narrative order: identify and map out the main stages of the story: introductions, buildups, climaxes or conflicts and resolutions.
On completion of the Advanced TEFL Reading programme the student should be able to comment critically on the language, style of periodicals, reviews, reports and leaflets, and also secure skills of skimming, scanning and efficient reading so that research is fast and effective.
