by John Powell

Aug 7, 2016 English as a Foreign Language (EFL) 13665 Views

_notregistered/86520b9c95.jpg A year of teaching English to twelve-years-old children in Vietnam has provided some insight into some of the special areas of difficulty which derive from fundamental differences between their mother tongue, Vietnamese, and the language of the Anglo-Saxons.

by Eman Elturki

Jul 22, 2010 Reading 13048 Views

_notregistered/art_5731_550ec80f6b~.jpg Enhancing students' reading is one of the major concerns in the field of teaching. There are different strategies that teachers can follow in order to support and encourage students to read properly as well as developing their critical thinking.

Next, the theory behind scaffolding will be highlighted. Finally, a review of related literature, starting from 1991 to a more recent research in 2008, will be demonstrated.
