Tyson Seburn has published an ebook aimed at teachers who teach Academic English, focussing particularly on academic\u00a0reading skills. It\u00a0seems to me that it would be useful for developing critical thinking too. Here is what Tyson says about his new materials:\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

\"arcs_2500-250x354\"ARC<\/strong>\u00a0is an\u00a0intensive reading approach\u00a0<\/strong>whose components work on the basis that\u00a0deep textual comprehension for language learners<\/strong>\u00a0is developed better through initial collaboration among many than if tackled alone. Its purpose is to improve\u00a0learner engagement<\/strong>\u00a0with and\u00a0understanding of concepts in non-fiction texts<\/strong>, like those encountered in higher education courses. This is done through modeling how to read a text through different lenses that draw attention to specific types of information and\u00a0co-constructing knowledge<\/strong>\u00a0discovered from these lenses for a clearer overall picture.<\/p>\n

The last five years of using ARC with my students and hearing how others have used them with theirs have been a tremendous learning experience! I\u2019m so glad to have a richer and clearer how-to available for teachers with descriptions, examples and sample lessons. In your courses where students are required to read non-fiction texts, Academic Reading Circles may be a good option.\u00a0This book provides teachers with the roles, the procedure, and the sample activities to improve learner use of course texts.<\/p>\n

This book is aimed at:
\nTeachers who incorporate reading into their courses
\nTeachers who want to get their learners to engage more meaningfully with texts
\nTeachers in English for academic purposes courses<\/p>\n
