「多読」は、英文読解を習得する方法です。非常に易しい本をたくさん読むことで、生徒様は、英文を速くすらすらと読むスキルを上達させることができます。
これに対し「精読」は、たいていの生徒様が学校の授業でやっています。精読では、生徒様は講師の指導で、文法・語彙を理解し、読解スキルを上達させます。
生徒様は、（クラスでの）精読と（クラス、そしてご自宅での）多読の、両方を訓練することが大切です。そうすれば、生徒様は語彙数を増やし、すらすらと読むようになることができます。
多読は、英検、TOEIC、TOEFLのような試験の点数を伸ばすための、最良の勉強方法の一つです。
ALEX英会話では、あらゆる年齢とレベルの生徒様のために、段階ごとの本を揃えています。講師や受付までお申し出ください。生徒様のレベルを確認し、各生徒様に適した本えらびをお手伝いします。是非、今日から英文をもっと読み始めて下さい。そうすれば、会話・語彙・文法・読解の全ての力が上達していきます。
Extensive reading is an approach to learning to read in English. By reading a lot of very easy books, students can improve their reading speed and fluency.
Intensive reading, on the other hand, is what most students do in class. Intensive reading involves a teacher helping students to understand grammar, vocabulary and developing read skills.
It is important that students practice both intensive reading (in class) and extensive reading (in class AND at home) so that they can build their vocabulary and improve fluency.
Extensive reading is one of the best study methods for improving test scores such as TOEIC, Eiken and TOFEL.
At ALEX英会話, we have a library of books (graded readers) for students of all ages and all levels. Ask our staff to help you find your level and choose a book that looks interesting to you. Start reading more today, and your speaking, vocabulary, grammar and reading speed will all improve!
