Study Notes
Types of Reading Performance
- Reading performance can be categorized by text types rather than performance types, similar to listening and speaking.
Perceptive Reading
- Involves focusing on components of discourse such as letters, words, and punctuation.
- Emphasizes bottom-up processing of language elements.
Selective Reading
- Focuses on assessing recognition of specific language features within brief texts.
- Utilizes tasks like picture-cued activities, matching, true/false, and multiple-choice questions.
- Combines both bottom-up and top-down processing techniques.
Interactive Reading
- Entails engaging with longer stretches of text (several paragraphs to a page).
- The reader interacts with the text using personal schemata, negotiating meaning.
- Common genres include anecdotes, short narratives, questionnaires, and instructions.
- Aims to identify key linguistic features while retaining processed information, primarily utilizing top-down processing.
Extensive Reading
- Defined as reading texts over one page long, including articles, essays, reports, and books.
- Focuses on global understanding rather than details, often read outside formal education.
- Primarily involves top-down processing for comprehension.
Assessment Procedures
- Classroom reading skills often integrate speaking and writing but can be assessed independently.
- Nonverbal response formats such as multiple-choice, matching, and picture-cued tasks allow for distinct reading assessment devoid of other language skills.
