PROPOSING ASSIGNMENTS TO DEVELOP IMAGINATIVE SKILLS FOR HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS IN TEACHING READING COMPREHENSION
Main Article Content
Abstract
In order to support students in reading comprehension proficiency of a narrative text, providing a basis for teachers to evaluate students' reading comprehension through reading skills, this paper proposes assignment types to develop imaginative skills for high school students. The paper focuses on reviewing related literature to draw some conclusions on issues related to skill development assignment such as concepts, roles and design considerations and some issues related to imaginative skill such as concepts and specific expressions. Since then, the paper proposes design orientations and types of assignments to develop imaginative skills in teaching reading comprehension of narrative texts in three stages of reading: before, during and after.
