Yabancı Dil Öğretiminde 'Yoğun' ve 'Kapsamlı' Okuma

Kapsamlı okuma ve yoğun okuma, yabancı dil öğretiminde okuma becerisinin geliştirilmesine yönelik olarak yararlanılan iki yaklaşımdır. Yoğun okuma, metinlerin genel olarak anlamsal, yapısal ve sözcük yapısı açısından ele alındığı ve ayrıca bazı okuma becerilerinin kazandırılmaya çalışıldığı okuma yaklaşımıdır. Yoğun okumada, öğretmen kontrolü belirgin olup, amaç ortak bir sunum yoluyla en kısa sürede en yüksek faydanın temin edilmesidir. Kapsamlı okumada ise, bireyin daha çok şey okumasının sağlanması ve bu yolla bireye okuma zevkinin kazandırılması hedeflenmektedir. Temel amaç, okuma miktarını arttırmak ve öğrenciye okuma zevkini kazandırmaktır. Yapılan incelemede her iki yaklaşımın güçlü ve zayıf yönleri belirlenmiş ve öğrenciye katkı sağlayabilecek nitelikleri üzerinde durulmuştur. Bu çözümleme sonucunda da yabancı dil öğreniminde katkı sağlayabileceği düşünülen bir dizi öneride bulunulmuştur

‘Intensive' and ‘Extensive’ Reading in Foreign Language Teaching

Intensive reading and extensive reading are two strategies that are widely used to improve reading skills in foreign language teaching. Intensive reading is a reading strategy through which texts are thoroughly studied semantically, syntactically and lexically and some reading skills are also provided in this way. In extensive reading, teacher control is more dominant and the major goal is to achieve optimal benefits in the shortest time through teacher presentation. In extensive reading, the main goal is to have students read more so that the have a taste of reading. In this study, the strengths and the weaknesses of the two strategies were identified and their features that might be used to improve students’ reading skills were highlighted. As the result of this analysis, a set of techniques were proposed which were found to be helpful for students’ reading skills.
