The Department of English Language Teaching (ELT) at the Faculty of Education, Tishk International University (TIU) organized an open reading/writing workshop, held on February 23rd of 2022. The workshop was aimed at improving students’ reading and writing performance.
In the workshop, Kanar Zirak, at the ELT Department introduced the paraphrasing writing technique to 1st grade students of the department. Each student was given a piece of poem. They were shown how they can use their own words to explain the major ideas line-by-line to paraphrase the poem.
The purpose of the workshop was to teach them the importance of “rephrasing the poet’s ideas in their own words without evaluating or addressing the author’s hidden messages or underlying themes.”
Reading Performance is a workshop held by the ELT Department where each week an effective reading and writing technique will be presented and modeled to the participating students.
