Reading is a surefire way to increase content knowledge and comprehension. According to leading Second Language Acquisition experts, reading the the target language not only increases students' vocabulary and grammar but provides them an additional mode of input. Reading a novel in the target language will allow my students to transfer their previously acquired reading comprehension skills to a new language. They are so eager to take in the target language from all directions and have been practicing reading short passages and articles. With a class set of novels we can dive deep into a text and use the clipboards to work in literary circles. The students will be able to acquire new vocabulary and learn grammar in context as is suggested by top SLA researchers.
