DEVELOPING READING AND WRITING SKILLS OF 9TH-GRADE LEARNERS THROUGH SPEECH READING AND BRAINSTORMING ACTIVITIES

Abstract

This article examines the reading and writing development of being students from Termiz city. Their English level is at around B1 intermediate. As they have attended to IELTS or CEFR course now they know how to use their English and their Listening and Speaking as well as Reading and writing skills.  In the classroom we used to have lots of activities to develop their self-confidence. As I have been their initial first foreign language teacher I know about their weaknesses as well. For example half of my learners have difficulties in Reading and Writing. In Reading they lack vocabulary and speed reading and in Writing the problems with ideas. To get rid of these problems I worked out some solutions. For example one can do some tasks or do any kind of activities to gain lexicon and Reading in speed can solve a problem with timing. But they have got abilities in learning language for instance: activeness. They always try to learn new things and never gave up in any difficulties. Observations suggest that every done activities for that group of learners suits best their needs and also this practice highlights the value of practice , students centered tasks encouraging their being level and helping them with their difficulties.
