Thanks! I'll be putting at least one new lesson a week, so be sure to subscribe or check back. You can also go to the forum on my website, engVid, if you want to ask me any questions!.
Second lesson *watched, understood* I'll follow this method. 1) Comprehension is understanding. It is a really good skills. 2) Read the text, the main part is to read quickly and understand the main context. 3) Underline the unknown words and work with dictionary. 4) Read again and summarize each paragraph. 5) Read again and summarize the whole text.
1. Read without dictionary a whole idea in order to get the CONTEXT 2. Read again a second time, and using dictionary and SUMMARIZE each paragraph 3. Read again a third time, and summarize EVERYTHING
James, James, James, what can I say. Your delivery, teaching skill and share energy is what we need in the classrooms of our primary and secondary schools. You are the key to many students who are normally not understanding the lessons ( let's face it, a lot of new teachers just don't have the X factor, that you have). If many of the students had someone who looks like you and teaches the way you do.... they'd be passing with A's. :-) keep it up, you're doing a fine job, hopefully, this is just the beginning.
Thank you so much, your videos will really help me in my reading proficiency test. I've spent many days looking for something like this, to give me a hand, God bless you, and thank you for sharing this amazing stuff with us.
I'm 53 and going back to college. One regret is that I was never a book reader. My comprehension is bad, and I'm in the process of improving it. After watching this, I think I will improve dramatically. Thank you James!!!

Также хочу сообщить тебе Джеймс, что на самом деле, я очень ОЧЕНЬ О_Ч_Е_Н_Ь долго учу английский, не могу вспомнить сколько, но думаю более 20 лет уже. Мне английский дается очень трудно. Но я стараюсь продолжать. Также я смотрю своих любимых блогеров на английском, даже если я не всё понимаю, мне очень нравится смотреть их.
James ,thanks for posting such an informative video. YT and the incredible people I see around have made learning a second language much easier and of course , more fun .
i agree in some parts, i mean its depend what sort of dictionary you have people always try to translete words to their language but true is there isnt a exactly translation, what you see in the translation is a idea than the transleitor gives to you, my suggest is use a dictionary english english it will be tough at the begining but if you really push yourself you will see great results, dont worry if you dont undestand before you start using your dicctionay learn comund words
For comprehension you have to understand the context (meaning) IN OTHER WORDS, even if you don't understand some words you'll still be able to get the gist #1 - Read everything #2 - Read again with dictionary and summarize each PARAGRAPH #3 - Read once more, this time you understand the whole article and summarize everything you've read By reading over and over you learn idioms and words, you comprehend the meaning deeper #4 - Read on daily basis anything in English as a habit
1. Read without dictionary a whole idea in order to get the CONTEXT 2. Read again a second time, and using dictionary and SUMMARIZE each paragraph 3.UNDERLINE the things we don't understand 4. Read again a third time, and summarize EVERYTHING can make a video about predictions please

Good video.. I'd like to make suggestions: 1. Explain why this method works. Is it a proven method? I do not know. 2. Explain how exactly students should summarize what they've read. Thanks for making this

Literally I’m teaching a remedial English course for English speakers and this is so helpful for comprehension skills

I'll follow your hints
How to improve reading comprehension
1.อ่านโดยไม่ใช้พจนานุกรมเพื่อให้เข้าใจ context (ระหว่างนี้เจอคำไหนที่ไม่เข้าใจก็ขีดเส้นใต้ไว้ก่อน
2.อ่านอีกรอบแต่รอบนี้ให้ใช้พจนานุกรมและสรุปแต่ละ paragraph
3.อ่านอีกรอบและสรุปทุกอย่าง
What about examination, no dictionary, no time. 😢
Very well presented and helpful video.
Thank you James for your priceless time.
Thank you sir I am a beginner it really helpful for me
Really appreciates...
Good- precise- to the point. Greetings from Bangladesh
I like watching these old videos, its so pretty! I would wish you lukky!!
you guidelines are very interesting and logical.
greetings from Bangladesh...
Hey man. I like your videos. Thanks a lot!
For comprehension you have to understand the context (meaning)
IN OTHER WORDS, even if you don't understand some words you'll still be able to get the gist
#1 - Read everything
#2 - Read again with dictionary and summarize each PARAGRAPH
#3 - Read once more, this time you understand the whole article and summarize everything you've read
By reading over and over you learn idioms and words, you comprehend the meaning deeper
#4 - Read on daily basis anything in English as a habit
The best teacher ever
Thank you for the one of amazing teacher
Anyone who is watching in 2019?
who tf cares what year were watching? if there is more views than previous years than obviously people are still watching
I like your videos, because it's useful for other idioms
Great video! You have great teaching skills.
1. Read without dictionary a whole idea in order to get the CONTEXT
2. Read again a second time, and using dictionary and SUMMARIZE each paragraph
3.UNDERLINE the things we don't understand
4. Read again a third time, and summarize EVERYTHING

i swear that this is better than the costly courses
Basic: could you make a video for standardized exams? Standardized test which are under time limits.
Good video.. I'd like to make suggestions:
1. Explain why this method works. Is it a proven method? I do not know.
2. Explain how exactly students should summarize what they've read.
Thanks for making this
Thx James
I enjoy watching you !!
