How can I use what I learned in the next semester?

It's very important to be a modern teacher and obviously a CLIL teacher, but if I want to get this objective, I have to use some strategies, I mean, if I use a reading, I need to follow the next steps:

1. The purpose of reading
2. Activities according the level of reading
-Activities for pre-reading.
-Activities for while-reading.
-Activities for post-reading

I learn Reading Strategies.

There are strategies reading according purpose of reading and levels of reading:

Pre-reading: It's connecting with predict and visualize, one technique can be

• Read the title and imagine what the text might be about or look at illustration and try to guess how they are related to the text.

While reading: It has relationship with connect, question and clarify, one technique can be

• Use a dictionary and take notes

Post reading: It's connect with evaluate, one technique can be

• Classify the words according to their meanings or summarizing the main ideas.

What I learn today?

The levels of reading comprehension, there are three levels of reading comprehension,

1. Reading on the line or literal: Understanding and remembering.
1. 
   

   His aim is to find meaning directly in the text or find information.
2. Reading between the lines or inferential: Applying and Analyzing.,
1. Through this level the readers interpret what is in the text.

3. Reading beyond the lines or critical: Evaluating and creating.
1. The readers move beyond the text to connect with their own experiences.

Is this useful for my class for the next semestre?

Today we learned about the process of reading (Pre-reading-Active reading and Post reading) if I want that my student learnt I must choose academic readings and teach them how is useful for laboral life. 

What I learnt Today?. Lesson of today turns around two topics: First, the important of comprehension reading and Second the purpose of reading. 

Important of comprehension reading: Reading it's a process, you don't only recognize words or elements, Reading is like a trip: If you're looking something important in the text you travel to find what you need to increase your knowledge. 

Purpose of reading: That depends of reading profile: if you are a reading lover you read for fun or to study, if you're a student you read for look information or for increase your vocabulary, but if you read for comprehend some academic text your propose is to make a summary.
