Course Description:
This course is meant to improve the student's reading skills. Reading can be a tricky activity and is one of the four essential skills necessary for every EFL. In this course you will be studying different texts of several backgrounds and thinking about their inherent meanings. The course also covers vocabulary teaching and reflective thinking.
Teacher in Charge : Dr Meryem MENGOUCHI
Course Objectives:
Targetted Audience: L1 Online English Licence (FAD)
Weekly Workload: 3 hours
Number of weeks : Four Weeks
Teaching Modality: Online
Evaluation: HybridA good knowledge of the English language is compulsory in this course. Before attending this class, a general revision of the English grammar and writing is required from the student. The course targets the learner's ability to read, analyze, and extract meanings from a text.
A minimum of 20 minute reading is required from the learner in each lecture. The learner needs to read a text twice. The first reading serves the learner to discover the text, the second reading allows this latter to extract meanings and to reflect on the general goal of the author/speaker.
A set of questions are asked to the learner for the sake of triggering their reflective thinking. The learner answers the questions then develops his or her own conclusions.
The learner shows understanding of the text through a series of tasks done by the end of the session that are submitted to the teacher after each class.
This is a short test to evaluate your knowledge of the language and to prepare you for the course. Please take your time and answer all the questions to help your teacher evaluate your reading skills.
Read the text below and answer the following questions:
For the first 60 years of film productions, movies were shown only in
black and white. Movie screens were painted with a
silver metallic paint that made the pictures easier to see.
Although movie screens are no longer painted with silver
paint, the term silver screen is sometimes used to
describe the movie business.
In these early days of movies, films were wound on
big reels and run
through projectors.
Dust on the lens of
the projector and
other problems could
cause the picture to
flicker. This is how
movies came to be
called flicks.

In our modern world, there are many factors that place the wellbeing of the planet in jeopardy. While some people have the opinion that environmental problems are just a natural occurrence, others believe that human beings have a huge impact on the environment. Regardless of your viewpoint, take into consideration the following factors that place our environment as well as the planet Earth in danger.
Global warming or climate change is a major contributing factor to environmental damage. Because of global warming, we have seen an increase in melting ice caps, a rise in sea levels, and the formation of new weather patterns. These weather patterns have caused stronger storms, droughts, and flooding in places that they formerly did not occur.
Air pollution is primarily caused as a result of excessive and unregulated emissions of carbon dioxide into the air. Pollutants mostly emerge from the burning of fossil fuels in addition to chemicals, toxic substances, and improper waste disposal. Air pollutants are absorbed into the atmosphere, and they can cause smog, a combination of smoke and fog, in valleys as well as produce acidic precipitation in areas far away from the pollution source.
In many areas, people and local governments do not sustainably use their natural resources. Mining for natural gases, deforestation, and even improper use of water resources can have tremendous effects on the environment. While these strategies often attempt to boost local economies, their effects can lead to oil spills, interrupted animal habitats, and droughts.
Ultimately, the effects of the modern world on the environment can lead to many problems. Human beings need to consider the repercussions of their actions, trying to reduce, reuse, and recycle materials while establishing environmentally sustainable habits. If measures are not taken to protect the environment, we can potentially witness the extinction of more endangered species, worldwide pollution, and a completely uninhabitable planet.
Dear students
In this discussion board we will analyze and discuss your reflections and responses to the different texts we will deal with.
