Critical reading involves analyzing a text to understand not just what is explicitly stated but also how the author conveys their message and any potential biases. There are three types of analysis: restatement is simply restating what a text says, description is stating what a text does, and inference uses clues to deduce what a text implies beyond just the words. Making inferences requires considering what details and implications can reasonably be extrapolated from the information provided, rather than just memorizing the surface level statements. Critical readers must learn to analyze texts to understand both what is being said and meant.Edu706 articlerevw

This document provides guidance on writing an unsolicited review article. It defines a review article as a critical analysis of previously published literature that does not present new experimental data from the author. Review articles organize, evaluate, and synthesize existing literature to identify patterns, gaps, and suggest new areas of research. When writing an unsolicited review, authors should simplify their topic, maintain a clear writing flow, demonstrate their contribution through tables, figures or discussion, avoid vague statements, stay focused on their central theme, and conclude by summarizing the literature, significance of findings, implications, and limitations. Following these tips can help maximize the chances of an unsolicited review advancing to peer review.Writing and publishing scientific research article

The document discusses different sampling methods: systematic sampling selects every nth individual from a population list to reduce selection bias. Convenience sampling relies on readily available individuals, but the samples may not represent the overall population. Purposive sampling allows the researcher to use judgment to select a sample suitable for the research purpose. The key challenges are avoiding periodicity in systematic sampling and having sufficient knowledge of the population for purposive sampling.Presentation 070412

The document discusses two pedagogical approaches for integrating literature into EFL/ESL curriculum: Story Grammar and Reader Response. Story Grammar views reading as an interactive process between the reader and text, with the reader using their understanding of narrative structure like characters, plot, setting to comprehend stories. Reader Response sees reading as a transaction between the reader's background and the text, with meaning constructed through the reader's response and interpretation. Both aim to engage readers and develop thinking skills through literature.Presentation edu 702
