본 과정은 단순히 책의 내용을 읽고 이해하는 것에 그치지 않고 학생들의 생각을 말해보고, 이야기의 교훈을 알아보는 과정을 통해 보다 심화된 이해를 유도합니다. 그리고 이야기에 나온 주제와 관련된 보다 폭넓은 어휘와 문법으로 발전시킬 수 있도록 수업이 진행됩니다. 또한 각 책에 대한 학습이 끝나면, 학생들이 주인공이 되어 대본연습을 하듯 책을 읽어나가는 Reader’s Theater 수업을 통해 영어를 유창하고 자연스럽게 읽을 수 있도록 연습합니다.
PROSPECTIVE STUDENTS
Phonics 등 영어에 대한 기초가 확립된 상태에서 영어 읽기에 익숙하고, 학원 다닌 경우에는 최소 1~2년 이상 영어를 배운 학생들에게 추천합니다.
COURSE LENGTH
본 과정은 Advanced Reading 1, 2로 나누어지며 각각 3권의 책으로 구성됩니다. 1권의 책으로 대략 4주 정도 수업이 진행되어 과정별로 12주 정도에 걸쳐서 진행될 예정이지만, 학생들의 참여도에 따라 더 빠르게 진행될 수도 있고 천천히 진행될 수 있습니다.
