Preview of Session 6

Before you read this unit, take a look at the following statements and decide whether or not you think they are true or false.

• Reading is a very complicated task that involves a number of different skills.
  
  
• It is important to make sure that there are no difficult words in the reading that you are using in the tutoring session.
  
  
• Varying the types of questions that you ask about a reading is important.
  
  
• Teaching grammar is absolutely unnecessary. If the learner is in a country where the language is spoken, she will just naturally pick it up.
  
  
• If a learner really wants you to correct errors, you should point out only a few common errors each session, not all the errors that you hear or read from your learner's work.
  
  
• Grammar is best taught using a grammar workbook and lots of exercises from the book.

After you have finished reading the session, take a look at your answers. Which would you change? Which responses will stay the same?
