Session 1 | 9:40-10:40

Reading for Tomorrow　by Professor Tak-Wai Chan

Reading for Tomorrow includes a simple reading activity called Modeled Sustained Silent Reading (MSSR), writing book recommendations, and book-talks. SSR, in which students just read books of their choices, has a long history. MSSR, however, additionally requests the teacher to serve as a reading model: reading book together with the students while sitting in front of the class. After reading, students may play an online game called My-Bookstore, where students write recommendations (and/or draw pictures) for books they love to their peers. Besides, they can also do book-talks in class and/or through My-Bookstore. As an everyday activity, Reading for Tomorrow intends to help students enjoy reading and establish a habit of reading and, ultimately, become lifelong readers.

Session 2 | 10:50-11:50

Extensive Reading : An overlooked Cornerstone of Successful Language Learning　by Fred Poon

The concept of reading to learn langauge has been widely perpetuated among teachers, but seldomly understood fully. Effectiveness of reading comes from the understanding of concepts like extensive reading. Without understanding what ER (extensive reading) is, it is almost impossible for us as teachers to gauge how effective our classrooms and books are. ER and it has to offer is more than just a fancy term, or a quick fix, ER is the concept that could change how you and your students read forever.

Session 3 | 13:05-13:55

Two ER-based ‘Unique Feature Courses’ for Taiwan High Schools　by Mark Richard

This session will propose two ER-based solutions for Taiwan high-school teachers looking to create ‘unique feature courses’ to match recent curricular reform requirements. The first is Oxford University Press’ Read On! class library. This combines ER with interdisciplinary methodology to develop language, literacy and life skills for the 21st-century classroom and workplace. The second is Oxford’s Reading Circles framework to leverage ER for discussion. This provides students with distinct roles, ensuring that stories are mined for their language and cultural values. Reading Circles combine the four skills, motivate students to read extensively, and equip them to work autonomously.

Session 4 | 14:10-15:00

Getting (and Keeping) them Hooked: Integrating Extensive Reading into a High School English Curriculum　

by Doctor Shane Michael Donald

In this presentation I will discuss how to introduce extensive reading to high school learners in order to get them to ‘buy-in’ to the benefits of participating in an extensive reading programme. I will also present ways in which to maintain learner interest and motivation in reading for pleasure, focusing on classroom activities related to extensive reading and methods of assessing learner progress. The presentation will then conclude by examining the crucial role the teacher plays in an extensive reading programme.
