Hey guys welcome to Fingtam languages today

to 不定詞

I just wanted to make a quick video about something that I've been learning in school recently and that is the difference between

extensive reading when you're learning a foreign language

And a lot of you know that I am currently a student at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee

And I'm also studying the subtle art of teaching English as a foreign language, so

In one of my classes one of the books that we've had to read is this textbook, Teaching Readers of English

And it's specifically about teaching people how to read English, but the principles in here are solid and they apply to

Whatever language you want to teach or whatever language you're learning

There's a lot of you really strong linguists quoted in here second language acquisition

And there's really a lot of interesting material in here, so I just want to read you a quote out of here really quick

Having to do with different types of reading, and I said at first that

We're gonna talk about intensive reading and extensive reading and their differences

What are intensive and extensive reading? Well that's what it's going to talk about here in this book

An early definition of intensive reading states that its purpose is to take a text,

Referring at every moment to our dictionary and our grammar

Comparing analyzing translating and retaining every expression that it contains

Most classroom instructors would define intensive reading more broadly

By saying each text is read carefully and thoroughly for maximum comprehension

So in intensive reading it really is just what it sounds like you're reading intensively. You're studying the text, and this is called

I believe this is also called a bottom-up technique because you're starting at the bottom you're looking at words

You know noun cases you're looking at verb conjugations

You're looking all the way at the specific letters, and you're just studying that word by word, line by line

And then you work your way up so you you start by understanding the words, then you understand the sentence the paragraph

And then you grasp the whole meaning of the whole

And it's a very thorough technique. That's why it's called intensive, and then you contrast that with extensive reading

Let me find the quote in here about extensive reading

All right, it says the teaching of reading

Yeah, they defined extensive reading in very basic terms

The teaching of reading through reading. There is no overt focus on teaching reading

Rather it is assumed that the best way for students to learn

comprehensible material. These definitions focus on quantity of materials read in contrast to the explicit

So when you're doing extensive reading it

Also is just what it sounds like you're just reading a lot

Materials and the important thing is that it's enjoyable you're reading things that you want to read and this fun

They can engage you and keep you reading a lot

And probably one of the boat the most well-known

linguists in the field of second language acquisition is stephen krashen and he

Highly recommends extensive reading he calls it free voluntary reading, and he's published a lot of articles

And I think he's published a book on this called free voluntary reading

And he says that free voluntary reading or extensive reading may be the single most effective thing that you can do

But the important thing that I want to emphasize

in this video is that they are both valid ways of learning languages intensive reading and

Extensive reading they both have their place

and I've used both of them very effectively and I kind of want to talk a little bit about

Different methods, and and how they compare and contrast

Extensive reading is obviously a lot more fun because you're just reading for fun

If you enjoy reading to begin with then you're golden all you have to do is start doing that in your foreign language

And that's something that I've done. I've read

Spanish just because I like Game of Thrones, and you can tell that's a pretty lengthy. That's a hefty book

I've also read this is Dan Brown's, Inferno

And I promise it's in Spanish. I know it's the same has the same title in English and in Spanish there si una, Nevada

And I've read both of these books in Spanish just because I like reading and

The key is finding books that are interesting to you if you're not

Interested in fantasy or thriller novels then I find something that's right for you find a romance that will find a mystery find

Sci-fi whatever it is find. Self-help books you know

Here I have seven Habits of Highly Effective People, and I don't think I've read this whole thing

But I read a good portion of this in Spanish

One of these one of the things in my textbook that was emphasized is that for extensive reading it has to be

Otherwise you're not gonna get anything out of it if you're if you are a b2 in Spanish and you start reading

Game of Thrones you're gonna get nothing out of it you're not gonna understand a word, and you're just wasting your time

I have a high level in Spanish so I can read books like Game of Thrones

Or  Seven Habits of Highly Effective People

My level in French is not as high as it is in Spanish so when I do extensive reading... This is the last book that I read

Or one of the last books I read extensively in French 'Compte les étoiles' um in English its 'Number the Stars'

But I highly recommend this book because even though it's designed for children even for adults

It's it's just very endearing. It's I highly recommend. This book. It's about the Holocaust

Persecuted in Denmark, and then the Danish people that resisted the Nazis

Doesn't matter it's still in French and then still gave me a lot of extensive practice of extensive reading

And I enjoyed it a lot, so I highly recommend this book

And one of the things I want to point out here's another book

'Le Petit Prince', this is originally in French, but it's been translated into a

Lot of languages like pretty much any every language you can think of

And it's also a children's book, but it's very interesting

Don't know how to explain it. It's a great read
