Types of Educative Punishment

Generally, reading can be defined as an interaction with a printed message. It means that reading is not passive action: there is some intellectual energy to be expanded. Reading is the art of transmitting ideas, facts and felling. Pang said in her book: “Reading consists of two related processes: word recognition and comprehension. Word recognition refers to the process of perceiving how written symbols correspond to one’s spoken language. Comprehension is the process of making sense of words, sentences, and connecting text. Readers typically make use of the background knowledge, vocabulary, grammatical knowledge, experience with the text and other strategies to help them understand written text.” 14 In order to get students to read enthuasiastically, English teacher needs to work to create interest in the topic and tasks. A common paradox in reading lessons is that while teachers are encouraging students to read for general understanding, without worring about the meaning of every single word, the students, on the other hand, are desperate to know what each individual word means. Many of students would rather tackle a reading passage with a dictionary in one hand and a pen in the other to write translations all over tha page. Reading is a challenge to the teachers also because it is such as a complex process. Reading is not a general ability but a composite of many specific abilities . It is necessary to break down general comprehension into specific skills which together constitute it. It is necessary to inquire how well the students are able graps the general meaning of a passage. According to Jemery Harmer that a word of caution needs to be added in reading passage. If students ask for the meaning of all the words they do not know and given some of the problems inherent in the explaining of different word meaning, the majority of a lesson may be taken up in this way. The teachers need to limit the amount of tie spent on vocabulary checking in the following ways: 14 Elizabeth S.
