Q. Think about how well you have trained word attack skills to effectively use three strategies (p.66-73) in English class throughout your secondary school years. What strategies were more highlighted? Or what strategies were ignored? Tell us how you want to teach word attack skills to your students in the future.

A: I was familiar with interpretation of structural clues. Because this is relevat to exam that is to enter a university. We usually trained this skill to get good grade. But problems are that we were so familiar with a mechnical train.
othrwise, from context was ignored. So when we face a situation that requires understand contents or meaning of context deeply, we have difficulty in understand contents or meaning. Because we ignored 'inference from context' strategy.

I think that it is important to get balnace bewteen strategies. So i will offer a activity that needs a various strategies. i usually met a activity that seperated trategies. As you know, but, we always use many or various strategies to understand text at the same time. There are no texts require only one strategy. It is very important for students to practice strategies. So i will offer a activity that require various strategies.
