Synopsis

English for Academic Study: Reading English for academic study: Reading is designed to challenge and stimulate students on pre-sessional and pre-departure courses. The Course Book contains step-by-step activities written by EAP professionals at the University of Reading's Centre for Applied Language Studies. The activities are designed for use with authentic reading texts in an accompanying Source Book. EAS Reading is founded on an extensive review of recent research into EAP writing methodology, and reflects the most recent developments in language teaching for academic purposes. The 2009 edition of EAS Reading has been fully revised for ease of use. As well as a new format, the Course Book now comes with a book map, unit summaries, and a comprehensive glossary of terms. Each unit has weblinks offering additional information and activities, related to both reading skills and the topics covered in the units. A dedicated website, www.englishforacademicstudy.com, offers further teacher resources. This book can be used in conjunction with the following books in the English for academic study series, also published by Garnet Education: EAS Writing, EAS Extended Writing & Research Skills, EAS Listening, EAS Speaking, EAS Vocabulary and EAS Pronunciation. A separate Source Book contains all the texts featured in the Course Book. Key Features * The Strategies Approach includes the use of skills such as skimming, scanning, search reading, careful reading and browsing. * The Task-Based Approach attempts to mirror authentic reading demands and purposes and suggests that effective readers are motivated by the desire to acquire knowledge in order to perform a task. An accompanying Teacher's Book is also available.
