READING RATE TEST

Image result for Reading rate test


1. Start reading when the minute hand is at the 12:00 o' clock position, or when the timer indicates :00 seconds. Write down the beginning time immediately before you begin so you won't be distracted as you try to remember the time on the clock. 

2.  Read the entire reading selection as you normally would, no faster or slower than usual.

3.  When you finish the reading selection, look up to check your time, and write it down. If you are using a stopwatch, stop the time at this point. If someone is timing you, clearly indicate that you are done.

4.  Determine how many minutes and seconds it took you to read the text.

How to Calculate Your Reading Rate
In order to calculate your reading rate for reading selections of your own choosing, follow these instructions:

1.  Find the average number of words per line (wpl). a = wpl
2.  Count the total of lines read.
b =                 lines read
3.  Multiply a x b for total amount read:
c =                    total words read
4.  Divide c by number of minutes read.
d=            time in minutes and seconds
5.  This is your reading rate or words per minute (wpm). a x b = c
c / d = WPM

Schumann’s Acculturation Model

Schumann's Acculturation Model Consider how these social and psychological factors affect the extent of the learner’s capacity to learn his or her second language (L2).   Schumann asserts that the more distance created between the L2 learner and his or her target language (TL) culture by such factors, the less contact s/he will have with the TL culture and thus the lower will his or her expected L2 proficiency be. Furthermore, he considers the social factors to be the prime influences; the psychological factors come into play and become the deciding factors only in situations where the combined social factors create neither positive nor negative circumstances for the learner.   Which outcomes of each of these factors make for a bad learning situation and which ones for a good learning situation? Consider as many as apply to your group’s learner testimonial. Social Distance Factors Social dominance : Is the learner’s native group dominant to, equal to, or subor...

The Purpose of Assessment

By -
The purpose of assessment is to improve teaching and learning through intellectual dialogue about measurable learning outcomes, to create a collaborative, dynamic, and continuous assessment process that engages faculty and personnel across the institution in the cultivation of student success, to utilize assessment to improve from within while maintaining a documentary record that demonstrates this improvement to the community, and to balance the assessment process between a meaningful and thoughtful practice, which is part of what educators do daily. My department offers remedial reading and writing courses to both native and non-native speakers of English. The curricular objectives for lower level reading/writing and upper level reading/writing courses are as follows: Lower Level Reading Course Curricular Objectives Upon successful completion of the course, while using some college-level texts, students will be able to: 1)   Distinguish between details and generalitie...

English Pronunciation for Turkish Speakers

Areas of Difficulty for Turkish Speakers Consonants: I.    /t/ & /d/: When Turkish speakers of English pronounce these alveolar consonants, they touch the back of their upper teeth with the tip of their tongue. Instead, try to form a constriction by touching your alveolar ridge (the area behind your upper teeth) with the tip of your tongue. Pronounce these sounds in different phonological environments such as word-initial, medial, and final position and in consonant clusters. tiresome      little      brat       staple    burst     crest                  totalitarianism automatic    trickster            cattle     dental    tirade    tardy     training technique    tangle...
