INTENSIVE READING

Abstract

Intensive Reading offers a systematic approach to enhancing reading skills, focusing on comprehension, vocabulary development, and critical analysis. It introduces core concepts such as identifying main ideas, understanding implicit meanings, and analyzing text structure, while also providing strategies for contextual vocabulary acquisition and effective use of reference tools. The book emphasizes the importance of critical thinking, teaching students to evaluate authorial biases, distinguish facts from opinions, and assess arguments across texts.

In addition to its focus on comprehension, the book addresses the application of intensive reading in academic contexts. It offers strategies for navigating academic texts, integrating reading into writing and presentations, and fostering independent reading habits. With structured learning objectives and practical activities, Intensive Reading equips readers with the skills necessary for deeper engagement with texts and critical analysis in both academic and professional settings.
