Understanding Academic Language Strategy
Many learners struggle to understand academic texts. To improve comprehension, students need to recognize how words and phrases form well-structured sentences, understand the roles of active and passive voice, and see how connectives signal relationships between ideas. They must also grasp the importance of pronouns. The Understanding Academic Language Strategy uses the four-step TEXT Strategy to provide teachers with a framework for teaching these skills.
