1. ESTRATEGIAS DE LECTURA

OBJETIVO: Al trmino de la presente unidad el estudiante ser capaz de utilizar las estrategias de

lectura: SCANNING Y SKIMMNIG, mismas que le permitirn obtener informacin bsica de cualquier

texto en ingls, de manera inductiva, fomentando en el estudiante su pensamiento en ingls.

1.1. Estrategia SKIMMING

Skimming

Lectura rpida de todo el texto sin detenerse en las palabras que no se conocen y poniendo en prctica

las estrategias de lectura que se indican en el cuadro. Esta debe practicarse siempre como primer paso

para la comprensin de textos en ingls.

Examen Superficial

Observacin rpida de todo el texto sin enfocar la atencin en una parte especfica, y al final obtener los

puntos para saber de qu trata el tema.

Ttulos y subttulos

Indican en muy pocas palabras el contenido; adems, por su localizacin es lo primero que se observa.

Apoyos visuales

Diagramas, fotografas, dibujos y figuras que muestran en forma ilustrada lo que presenta el texto en

forma escrita o, en otras ocasiones, agregan informacin u otros datos acerca del tema.



Ingls V Pgina 4

Distribucin del texto

Observar la forma en que est distribuido el texto en la hoja proporciona una clave muy importante para

saber de qu se trata, ya que se toma conocimiento de cmo se distribuye un texto para una informacin,

un reporte, una historia, una receta, un poema, etc.

Tipografa

Diferentes tamaos y tipos de letra que existen en un texto. Por lo general, se usan letras grandes para

ttulos y las de color ms oscuro (negritas) para enfatizar y las cursivas (inclinadas) para definir o

ejemplificar.

Cognados

Tambin llamados palabras transparentes, son una estrategia que se considera de gran ayuda para la

comprensin de la lectura, ya que la mayora de los textos en ingles tienen cognados. Son palabras que

su escritura se asemeja mucho en ingls como a su equivalente en espaol.

Palabras repetidas

Cuando una palabra se repite varias veces en un texto, es lgico deducir que este se refiere al concepto

de dicha palabra; adems estas palabras ayudan para captar mejor el tema del texto.

Familias de palabras

Palabras similares, las cuales presentan la misma raz o palabras base; aunque con diferente prefijo o

sufijo, se dice que estas forman una familia de palabras.

1.2. Estrategia SCANNING

La interpretacin de esta palabra en espaol es bsqueda de informacin especfica y se lleva a cabo cuando se indaga sobre un dato preciso.

2. REFERENTES, CONECTORES, PREFIJOS Y SUFIJOS

OBJETIVO: Al trmino de la presente unidad el estudiante habr adquirido las herramientas

gramaticales para reconocer los elementos bsicos en la comprensin de la lectura.

2.1. Referentes (Referents)

WHAT IS A REFERENT?

Words are used to represent things and experiences in the real or imagined world. Different words can

be used to describe the same thing or experience.

Definition

A referent is the concrete object or concept that is designated by a word or expression. A referent is an

object, action, state, relationship, or attribute in the referential real.

Example:

Historically, there was only one person called George Washington, the first president of the United

States. He can be referred to in a text in many ways, such as

the president

Mr. Washington

he, or even

my friend.

Even though there are many ways to talk about him, there is only one referent in the referential realm.

What is reference?

Here are two senses for reference:

1. Reference is the symbolic relationship that a linguistic expression has with the concrete object or

abstraction it represents.

2. Reference is the relationship of one linguistic expression to another, in which one provides the

information necessary to interpret the other.

Examples

Here is an example of reference:

A pronoun refers to the noun antecedent that is used to interpret it.

2.2. Conectores (Conectors or linking words)

What is a connector or linking word?

Linking words normally form a link between clauses WITHIN a sentence.

(and but so because then until such as)

Another type of linking device is used to form a link BETWEEN sentences. These words must start with

a capital letter and are usually immediately followed by a comma: (Furthermore, Moreover, However,

Nevertheless, Therefore, in conclusion,)

The function of linking words

Linking devices are neither nouns, nor verbs. They provide a text with cohesion and illustrate how the

parts of the text relate to each other. Here are some of the functions which linking words provide.



Ingls V Pgina 6

Adding extra information to the main point, contrasting ideas, expressing cause and effect, showing

exactly when something happened (narrating), expressing purpose (why?) and opinion, listing examples,

making conclusions and giving emphasis.



Ingls V Pgina 7

* Avoid starting a sentence with these words.

The linking words beginning with a capital letter often start a sentence, for those without, position in a

sentence is optional.

2.3. Prefijos y sufijos (Prefixes and suffixes)

Using context clues is one way to discover the meaning of an unfamiliar word. Another way is word

analysis that is, looking at the meaning of parts of words. Many English words have been formed by

combining parts of older English, Greek, and Latin words. If you know the meanings of some of these

word parts, you can often guess the meaning of an unfamiliar English word, particularly in context.

For example, report is formed from re-, wich means back, and-port, wich means carry. Scientist is derived

from sci-, wich means know, and -ist, wich means one who. Re and ist are called affixes, that is, word



Ingls V Pgina 8

parts that are attached to seems. Affixes like re, wich are attached to baginnings of stems, are called

prefixes. Affixes attached to the end, like ist, are called suffixes. Generally, prefixes change the meaning

of a word, and siffixes change its part of speech.

New words can be formed in English by adding prefixes to other words. If you add them to other words

they change the meaning.

Organize Reorganize

Copy Miscopy

Standard Substandard

Negative prefixes.

There are many different ways of forming negative words by adding prefixes. First look at these

examples.

Un- fair unfair

Dis- like dislike

In- visible invisible

Non- smoker non-smoker

Some adjectives beginning with ( l ), ( p ) or ( r ) form negatives likes this:

Il- legal ilegal

Im- possible impossible

Ir- regular irregular

SUFFIXES. New words can be formed in English by adding suffixes to other words. These are added to the ends of

words. Some suffixes form adjectives which refer to the characteristic associated with the noun they are

related to.

-al -ary -atic -ly -ish able

Sometimes the stress moves in the adjective:

Disciplinary= having the features of discipline.

Programmatic= referring to programmer

A further suffix:

Fortnightly= refers to fortnight

The there is this suffix which allows you to form adjectives from either adjectives or nouns:

Smallish= fairly small

Foolish= like a fool

There is one suffix practiced here which enables you to form adjectives from verbs:

Controllable= it is possible to control

Note that two other are also used with similar meanings:

3. TIPOS DE TEXTOS

OBJETIVO: Al trmino de la presente unidad el estudiante ser capaz de identificar diversos tipos de

texto as como habr adquirido las habilidades para redactar textos en ingls.

3.1. What is text? (Qu es un texto?)

Text is any piece of writing. This could be a letter, an email, a novel, a poem, a recipe, a note, instructions,

an article in a newspaper or magazine, writing on a webpage or an advert. All of these examples can be

called texts.

When you are reading or writing any text think about the purpose of the text or why it has been written.

What might the purpose of a text be?

An advert might be trying to persuade you to buy something.

A letter from school might be to inform you about something.

A novel might describe somewhere or someone to you.

A car manual might instruct you how to do something to your car.

Depending on the purpose of the text, different methods will be used to get the message across to the

reader.

For more specific information on some of the different types of text see the Persuasive texts, Informative

texts, Instructive texts and Descriptive texts.

3.2. Presuasive texts (Textos Persuasivos)

A persuasive text is a text that really wants you to do something.

An advert might want you to buy something.

You might write a letter to persuade a friend to go on holiday with you, or to try and get off a parking

ticket.

Persuasive texts might use:

repeated words

text in capital letters

exclamation marks

rhetorical questions (questions where no answer is needed)

an emotional one-sided argument

humor



Ingls V Pgina 11

Example:

3.3. Informative texts (Textos Informativos)

An informative text is a text that wants to advise or tell you about something.

A newspaper article might give you information about a health issue like giving up smoking.

A website might give you information about a movie, band or something that you are interested in.

A handout from school might be advising you about what your child will be doing during the next term.

Informative texts usually:

avoid repetition

contain facts



Ingls V Pgina 12

give information in a clear way - introducing the subject and then developing it

Example:

3.4. Instructive texts (Textos Instructivos)

An instructive text is a text that instructs or tells you how to do something.

A recipe wants to instruct you how to cook something. A leaflet with a piece of furniture wants to tell

you how to put it together or take care of it.

Instructive texts:

are written as though the reader is being spoken to - (although the word 'you' is not usually used)

language is direct and unnecessary words are left out

often use 'must' and 'must not'

sometimes use diagrams or pictures to help understanding



Ingls V Pgina 13

Examples:

3.5. Descriptive texts (Textos Descriptivos)

A descriptive text is a text that wants you to picture what they are describing.

A novel might want you to imagine the characters and see them in your mind.

A travel book will want you to see the country it is describing.

Descriptive texts usually:

make use of adjectives and adverbs

use comparisons to help picture it - something is like something

employ your five senses - how it feels, smells, looks, sounds and tastes
