SINOPSIS : Reading is an essential skill for academic success. University students are expected to read various types of texts, such as textbooks, journal articles, reports, and other academic materials. However, many students find academic reading difficult because the texts often contain unfamiliar vocabulary, complex ideas, and large amounts of information. Therefore, learning effective reading strategies is important.
This book, Reading Skills for Academic Purposes, is designed to help students develop the reading skills needed in higher education. It introduces practical strategies that enable students to read more effectively, understand academic texts more easily, and become more confident readers.
The book consists of ten chapters that cover important reading skills, including previewing, scanning, skimming, vocabulary building, identifying topics and main ideas, recognizing text organization, making inferences, summarizing, and critical reading. Each chapter provides clear explanations, examples, and practice exercises that allow students to apply the skills in different academic contexts.
This book is intended primarily for undergraduate students learning English as a Foreign Language (EFL). It is also expected to be a useful resource for lecturers and anyone who wishes to improve their academic reading ability.
