Paul Goldberg on the benefits of Extensive Reading in University classes
ポール・ゴールドバーグ先生、大学の授業での多読について

About the event

Online extensive reading means much more than students being able to read graded readers on their computers or smartphones whenever and wherever they want. It can put powerful tools like an interactive dictionary, character lists, audio-on-demand, and book ratings, right at their fingertips. Additionally, online extensive reading allows teachers to monitor and track their students’ reading progress including which books their students have selected, how many words they have read, and even their reading speed. In this presentation, the speaker, who developed Xreading, a website for extensive reading and extensive listening, will give a demonstration of the system and explain how teachers can get the most out of using online extensive reading with their classes.

NOTE : This event is limited to persons affiliated with the University of Tsukuba.
