PARAPHRASING LANGUAGE = 28-Page How-to Teaching & Learning Resource Book
How does it feel to struggle with spoken or written language? Why simplify or adapt reading material for not-yet-proficient learners? Which kinds of vocabulary and phrasing are “easier” or “more difficult” for listeners or readers to comprehend? Sympathetic or emphathetic educators seeking or producing customized materials for individualized or whole- group instruction are likely to know—or want to find out—the answers to these and related questions.
This compact WorkText for teacher trainers or How-to Manual for materials developers/writers gives general principles of language adaptation—with tips on how to organize info and simplify sentence structure and vocabulary. Practice exercises consist of sample original passages to paraphrase, followed by suggested ways to rewrite or restate their essential content. Finally, there are ideas for the use of adapted language in teaching/learning, such as Paraphrased Card Decks & Activities, Sequenced Phrases or Sentences, Paraphrase Matching, and Multi-Media, Multi-Level Methods.
These principles are also likely to be useful in reading/writing instruction that includes restatement, paraphrasing, and/or summarizing skills development.
