When you start a university course, you might have
the same problem as every other student: how to get through the vast amount of
reading given for each course. There is not enough time to read everything line
by line. You need to be able to read efficiently. The way you read something
will depend on your purpose. You need to read quickly to find relevant
sections, then read carefully when you have found what you want. General
efficient reading strategies such as scanning to find the book or chapter,
skimming to get the gist and careful reading of important passages (Wallace,
1980, pp. 9-51) are necessary as well as vocabulary building exercises in your
own area. Learning about how texts are structured can also help you to read and
write more efficiently.
Our academic
project aims at assisting undergraduate students from Letras and Secretariado
on their reading and writing processes, so that they are capable of becoming
more autonomous readers and writers in the academic English language.
