# Introduction

In the coming six weeks you will be using this reader to work on your reading skills at CEFR A2 level.

Remember: one A2 reading skills module is usually not enough to take you to the next language level. It should take you the most part of the year and a number of modules to do so.

There are fourteen texts in this reader all from various sources & text types. Most texts have a task to complete before going on to the next text. These tasks involve the other language skills you have to train.

It is also important to use a dictionary while reading. Actively working with new vocabulary is an important part of this module. So note the new vocabulary you discover while reading and try to use it as much as possible in the related tasks.

Creating new words & phrases lists is important but they are only useful if you use them actively in class & during homework sessions.

Class instructions: Every lesson has 30 mins of activity time which includes discussion, teacher talks & correction and 15-20 mins of reading. Lots of reading will be done as homework. There will be no other homework outside the tasks in the reader.

During classes you will have the opportunity to work alone, in groups & with the teacher. It is important that you stay in contact with your teacher to check your progress and make sure you are working properly. The reader, tasks & new articles/texts must be kept in your (online) reading file.

TESTING

This module will have a diagnostic intake test and an end-of-module A2 reading test. The end-of-module test will be your module grade.
