TEFL 26.01.2021Reading
reading process:
– bottom-up: from detail to detail – word to word, in order to ‶assemble″ meaning from details
– processing individual letters and words
– processing sentences and paragraphs
– processing the organization of the text
– top-down: looking for gist, anticipating what might follow, checking this against details- if
hypotheses are confirmed, attention can be focused on the next chunk (easier for short term
memory)
– reader's expectations
– inside the head information (prior information)
– background knowledge
– world knowledge
– specific (historical, political, scientific) knowledge
– reading strategies:
– skimming: reader interested in the gist
