Study technique and motivation

• To look at some tips as to how to learn the language
• To see why reading novels is important
• How to study literature effectively
• Work on your assignment for "Lord of the Flies"

You have now had some lessons when you have been working on your own.

Today we are going to look at the most important ways to learn English (or another foreign language).

There are thousands of webpages to help you.

Here is a typical one.

As part of the English course you are expected to read books in English:

Lyssna och läsa – reception

• Talad engelska och texter från olika medier.
• Talad engelska med viss regional och social färgning.
• Muntliga och skriftliga instruktioner och beskrivningar.
• Olika former av samtal, dialoger, intervjuer och muntliga framställningar.
• Skönlitteratur och annan fiktion även i talad, dramatiserad och filmatiserad form.
• Sånger och dikter.

Why read books?

Here is an excellent answer

When you read a book, use all the resources you can. 

-Audio

-Video (we can see the beginning of the black and white film today)

-Summary (Spark notes is a good example)

-Vocabulary lists (you already have)

and if all else fails:-

A translated version in Swedish (Flugornas Herre)

I have extended the deadline to the end of this week for your first assignment. After that NO EXCUSES!
