Academic Studies English - Learning Strategies

WHY STUDY?

 

The most common answers are
1. to do well on the test,
2. to pass the course,
3. to advance to the next level,
4. to graduate.

 

Some people even answer “to make my spouse ( or parents) happy”, or “to please the teacher”.

These are “short term” answers, but the real “long term” answer is so that YOU will really know the material, internalize it, and have it available
whenever you need it. Studying/learning skills are essential tools for every human being because they give you ownership of ideas and skills that you can use for the rest of your life.

Academic Studies English - Introduction to Reading Comprehension

Reading comprehension means understanding and remembering the ideas you find as you read. As you know, reading begins by learning the shapes of letters and the sounds they represent. When letters are written in groups, they become words. Words are just groups of symbols that stand for the names of things, actions, and ideas that you see, hear, smell, touch or taste every day.

Academic Studies English - Reading Comprehension: Drama

Drama is another form of narrative writing which uses plot, character, setting, and theme to present a story. It is, however, different from other forms or genres because it is never meant solely to be read by an individual; plays are written to be acted before groups of people. Unfortunately, we don’t always have access to the live performance of plays, so many times we have to be satisfied with reading the script, or the words in a play.

Academic Studies English - Reading Comprehension: The Novel

The purpose of this course is to begin to provide you with the skills and knowledge you will need to understand and interpret any novel you will ever read. There is no one right answer to any question in literature. Any answer which is supported by logical references to the author’s words and ideas will be considered correct.

Academic Studies English - Reading Comprehension: The Short Story

The short story is a narrative which has the following characteristics:

1. It is short. The length is usually less than 15, 000 words; it can be read in one sitting.

2. It has unity. Short stories are so tightly organized that they can focus on only one defining moment in the life of one character, one event in time, one setting, or mood.
