TEXT II
Reading approaches language practices which come
directly from the interaction of the reader with the written
text, especially under the focus of the constitution of
meaning, based on understanding and interpreting genres
written in the English language, which circulate in the
various fields and layers of society. The practice of reading
in English promotes, for example, the development of
strategies of textual recognition (the use of verbal and
non-verbal clues into the formulation of hypotheses and
inferences) and of the investigation of the ways in which
the contexts in the BNCC facilitate processes of meaning
and critical reflection of the themes under study.
The work with verbal and hybrid genres, mainly
potentialized by digital media, makes it possible to live, in
a meaningful and pre-given way, diverse ways of reading
(reading in order to have a general idea of the text, search
for specific information, understand details, etc.), as well
as different aims at reading (in order to do research, or
enhance one’s own writing, read aloud to defend ideas or
arguments, to act in the actual world, always in a critical
manner, among other aims). Besides, reading practices
in English include diverse possibilities of contexts in
the use of languages for research and enhancing of
knowledge of meaningful themes for the students, in
interdisciplinary works or esthetic appreciation of genres
like poems, plays, etc.
Reading from chosen texts, involving practice with
diverse written and multimodal texts, of great importance
to the life of students in their school, social and cultural
aspects, as well as the analyzing and problematizing of
the chosen texts, help develop critical reading and the
building of an autonomous and creative trajectory in
language learning.

TEXT I
Using authentic reading materials in FLT
Let us discuss what reading in a foreign language is,
how it differs from reading in one’s mother-tongue.
If the foreign language learners are poor readers in their
mother-tongue, we can’t expect them to read efficiently
in the foreign language. But if they are good readers in
their mother-tongue, we expect them to transfer their
reading strategies to the foreign language automatically.
Unfortunately, this doesn’t always happen. Automatic
transfer of reading strategies from L1 to L2 is difficult
or never occurs. Good readers use top-down and
bottom-up strategies to make predictions about the
meaning of the text and check them. They vary their
reading speed and strategies according to the purpose
for their reading and the type of the text. When the same
students read a text in the foreign language, they tend to
use bottom-up strategies, i.e. their linguistic knowledge,
but they rarely dare to use top-down strategies, i.e. their
knowledge abouttheworld.Appropriate reading strategies
are rarely used and even some faulty reading habits, e.g.
subvocalizing, regressive eye movements, etc., can be
observed. So, foreign language students usually need
more reading practice in order to become efficient readers
in the foreign language. The use of authentic materials
is an important principle of Communicative Language
Teaching. In real life we read because we are interested
in the communicative purpose of the text, in the ideas
that the writer has expressed or the effect that the text
is supposed to produce on the reader. The language in
an authentic text is varied, whereas in a non-authentic
one there is often one single structure that is repeated.
The use of truly authentic texts is an important means of
teaching students to communicate effectively.
Unfortunately, most textbooks make use of non-authentic
texts. They are supposed to be easier than authentic
ones and to be better suited to the students’ language
proficiency level. However, this is not true because:
• non-authentic texts are usually over-explicit:
they say too much because they lack the natural
redundancy of authentic ones, they abound with
details, so, the students are not given the chance
to make any inferences;
• textbook reading materials usually deal with
over-familiar topics. This can hardly be avoided at
beginner level but at the higher levels the reading
texts can be more informative, enjoyable and
interesting;
• there is often a noticeable emphasis on the
product of the activity, i.e. on the answers to the
comprehension questions, over the process,
i.e. the appropriate use of reading skills and
strategies in order to understand the text.
We can overcome these shortcomings quite successfully
if we provide supplementary authentic texts. Thus the
language learners will become better readers, confident
in their ability to cope with reading in real life situations.
So, why do we read? In our daily lives we read for two
basic reasons: for pleasure and for information (Grellet,
1981:4). We read for information because we want to find
out something, to learn something from the text, or for
instruction, in order to do something with the information
we get, to find out how to act. These reasons for reading
are authentic. […]
Having mentioned the major drawbacks of textbook
reading materials, let’s now consider the guidelines for
selecting a text to supplement them or even replace them.
These are the readability, the suitability of content and
the exploitability of the authentic text (Nuttal, 1982:25).
• Readability means that the text should be at the
right level. When we try to find a readable text,
we have to assess the level of its structural and
lexical difficulty. Still, we should not forget that
the students can deal with more difficult texts,
provided the task is not too difficult.
• Suitability of content means that the text should
be interesting and informative. The students’
preferences should not be neglected and a survey
of their tastes might help the teacher quite a lot.
• Exploitability means that the text should facilitate
the development of reading skills in order to help
the students become competent and independent
readers.
However, we shouldn’t forget the fact that language
classes are not entirely homogeneous: the level of the
students is not the same, their tastes may vary and it is
virtually impossible to create an ideal reader who could
tackle all existing texts successfully. So, our goals and
criteria should be realistic.
[…]
What should be pointed out in conclusion is the vital
importance of using authentic texts as supplements to
textbook reading materials in order to prepare students for
real life reading.Authentic texts foster the development of
their reading skills thus helping them gain confidence in
their reading ability in the foreign language. They become
autonomous readers, who can take responsibility for their
own reading.

of authentic reading material should consider some
guidelines, as presented below. Mark the alternative that

or never occurs. Good readers use top-down and
bottom-up strategies to make predictions about the
meaning of the text and check them. They vary their
reading speed and strategies according to the purpose
for their reading and the type of the text. When the same
students read a text in the foreign language, they tend to
use bottom-up strategies, i.e. their linguistic knowledge,
but they rarely dare to use top-down strategies, i.e. their
knowledge abouttheworld.Appropriate reading strategies
are rarely used and even some faulty reading habits, e.g.
subvocalizing, regressive eye movements, etc., can be
observed. So, foreign language students usually need
more reading practice in order to become efficient readers
in the foreign language. The use of authentic materials
is an important principle of Communicative Language
Teaching. In real life we read because we are interested
in the communicative purpose of the text, in the ideas
that the writer has expressed or the effect that the text
is supposed to produce on the reader. The language in
an authentic text is varied, whereas in a non-authentic
one there is often one single structure that is repeated.
The use of truly authentic texts is an important means of
teaching students to communicate effectively.
Unfortunately, most textbooks make use of non-authentic
texts. They are supposed to be easier than authentic
ones and to be better suited to the students’ language
proficiency level. However, this is not true because:
• non-authentic texts are usually over-explicit:
they say too much because they lack the natural
redundancy of authentic ones, they abound with
details, so, the students are not given the chance
to make any inferences;
• textbook reading materials usually deal with
over-familiar topics. This can hardly be avoided at
beginner level but at the higher levels the reading
texts can be more informative, enjoyable and
interesting;
• there is often a noticeable emphasis on the
product of the activity, i.e. on the answers to the
comprehension questions, over the process,
i.e. the appropriate use of reading skills and
strategies in order to understand the text.
We can overcome these shortcomings quite successfully
if we provide supplementary authentic texts. Thus the
language learners will become better readers, confident
in their ability to cope with reading in real life situations.
So, why do we read? In our daily lives we read for two
basic reasons: for pleasure and for information (Grellet,
1981:4). We read for information because we want to find
out something, to learn something from the text, or for
instruction, in order to do something with the information
we get, to find out how to act. These reasons for reading
are authentic. […]
Having mentioned the major drawbacks of textbook
reading materials, let’s now consider the guidelines for
selecting a text to supplement them or even replace them.
These are the readability, the suitability of content and
the exploitability of the authentic text (Nuttal, 1982:25).
• Readability means that the text should be at the
right level. When we try to find a readable text,
we have to assess the level of its structural and
lexical difficulty. Still, we should not forget that
the students can deal with more difficult texts,
provided the task is not too difficult.
• Suitability of content means that the text should
be interesting and informative. The students’
preferences should not be neglected and a survey
of their tastes might help the teacher quite a lot.
• Exploitability means that the text should facilitate
the development of reading skills in order to help
the students become competent and independent
readers.
However, we shouldn’t forget the fact that language
classes are not entirely homogeneous: the level of the
students is not the same, their tastes may vary and it is
virtually impossible to create an ideal reader who could
tackle all existing texts successfully. So, our goals and
criteria should be realistic.
[…]
What should be pointed out in conclusion is the vital
importance of using authentic texts as supplements to
textbook reading materials in order to prepare students for
real life reading.Authentic texts foster the development of
their reading skills thus helping them gain confidence in
their reading ability in the foreign language. They become
autonomous readers, who can take responsibility for their
own reading.

TEXT I
Using authentic reading materials in FLT
Let us discuss what reading in a foreign language is,
how it differs from reading in one’s mother-tongue.
If the foreign language learners are poor readers in their
mother-tongue, we can’t expect them to read efficiently
in the foreign language. But if they are good readers in
their mother-tongue, we expect them to transfer their
reading strategies to the foreign language automatically.
Unfortunately, this doesn’t always happen. Automatic
transfer of reading strategies from L1 to L2 is difficult
or never occurs. Good readers use top-down and
bottom-up strategies to make predictions about the
meaning of the text and check them. They vary their
reading speed and strategies according to the purpose
for their reading and the type of the text. When the same
students read a text in the foreign language, they tend to

Sadiq Khan vs. Donald Trump
The most important political event of recent weeks was not the emergence of Donald J. Trump as the presumptive
presidential nominee of the Republican Party but the election of Sadiq Khan, the Muslim son of a London bus driver, as
mayor of London.
Trump has not won any kind of political office yet, but Khan, the Labour Party candidate, crushed Zac Goldsmith, a
Conservative, to take charge of one of the world’s great cities, a vibrant metropolis where every tongue is heard. In his
victory, a triumph over the slurs that tried to tie him to Islamist extremism, Khan stood up for openness against
isolationism, integration against confrontation, opportunity for all against racism and misogyny. He was the anti-Trump.
Before the election, Khan said “I’m a Londoner, I’m a European, I’m British, I’m English, I’m of Islamic faith, of Asian
origin, of Pakistani heritage, a dad, a husband”.
The world of the 21st century is going to be shaped by such elided, many-faceted identities and by the booming
cities that celebrate diversity, not by some bullying, brash, bigoted, “America first” white dude who wants to build walls.
It is worth noting that under the ban on Muslim noncitizens entering the country that Trump proposes, Khan would not
be allowed to visit the United States. To use one of Trump’s favorite phrases, this would be a “complete and total
disaster”.
Khan’s election is important because it gives the lie to the facile trope that Europe is being taken over by jihadi
Islamists. It underscores the fact that terrorist acts hide a million quiet success stories among European Muslim
communities. One of seven children of a Pakistani immigrant family, Khan grew up in public housing and went on to
become a human rights lawyer and government minister. He won more than 1.3 million votes in the London election, a
personal mandate unsurpassed by any politician in British history. His election is important because the most effective
voices against Islamist terrorism come from Muslims, and Khan has been prepared to speak out. After the Paris
attacks last year, he said in a speech that Muslims had a “special role” to play in countering the terrorism, “not because
we are more responsible than others, as some have wrongly claimed, but because we can be more effective at tackling
extremism than anyone else”.
Trump as a politician is a product of American fear and anger above all. In the past several weeks, a U.C. Berkeley
student has been escorted off a Southwest Airlines flight because he was heard speaking Arabic, and an olive-skinned,
curly haired Italian Ivy League economist was taken off an American Airlines flight because he was spotted scribbling
mathematical calculations that his seatmate found suspicious. When Trump declares, “America First will be the major
and overriding theme of my administration,” the rest of the world hears an angry nation flexing its muscles.
Khan has argued that greater integration is essential and “too many British Muslims grow up without really
knowing anyone from a different background”.
Put together an egotist, a bully, immense power and you have a dangerous brew that could put civilization at risk.
Those small fingers would have access to the nuclear codes if Trump was elected. In this context, Sadiq Khan’s victory is
reassuring because he represents currents in the world — toward global identity and integration — that will prove
stronger over time than the tribalism and nativism of Trump.
