PRESS RELEASE (ENGLISH)

Book Depository Partners with Uncle Siu to Launch its First English Reading Week in Hong Kong

Bookdepository.com and Uncle Siu present a week-long video series introducing the beloved teacher’s most-loved books, just in time for the Hong Kong Book Fair

Hong Kong loves to read, but it can be tough to find a wide variety of English books in the city – especially for readers who want to explore material above and beyond the latest bestsellers. In order to support voracious Hong Kong readers in learning English, revisiting the classics or just curling up with a book they love, Book Depository, an international online book retailer offering over 16 million English books with free delivery, is partnering with local Hong Kong influencer Uncle Siu to launch the Uncle Siu English Reading Week from 19 to 25 July, coinciding with the Hong Kong Book Fair.

During the Uncle Siu English Reading Week, local influencer Uncle Siu will post one video per day introducing his favourite English books. Uncle Siu is not only an avid reader but also a much-loved linguistics expert who has won over English and Cantonese audiences online with his funny, educational content about learning languages.

In partnership with Book Depository, Uncle Siu is ready to kick off the Uncle Siu English Reading Week and get people in Hong Kong excited about reading, “I love reading and I use a lot of books in teaching. I’ve been using Book Depository for more than 10 years. It’s the best online bookstore in the world, bar none. You can find any books you can think of that are virtually impossible to find in brick-and-mortar stores.”

Uncle Siu’s favourite books will each fall into one of the following categories:
1. English learning books that can help students take their language learning to the next level.
2. Storybooks that have been cherished by children and their parents for generations.
3. Writing guides to boost students’ ability to construct arguments and organise an essay.
4. The classics, which have an important place on any literature lover’s bookshelf.
5. Lesser-known classics from authors that are less notorious, but no less exciting to read.
6. Culturally English books that offer insights into the English language and the way of life in Britain.
7. General interest books that Uncle Siu simply loves to read for fun.

Which books will Uncle Siu choose as his favourites? To find out, visit the Book Depository website (bookdepository.com) from 19 to 25 July. A new video from Uncle Siu will be posted each day to celebrate Uncle Siu English Reading Week and reveal his favourite English books. What’s more, customers who view the videos will get an exclusive coupon code for an extra 10% off Book Depository’s already low prices across millions of books during the Book Fair period from 19 to 25 July.

At the Hong Kong Book Fair, look out for Book Depository representatives standing outside the event on 19 and 20 July. They will be handing out Book Depository’s bookmarks and specially designed folders for a further 5% off on the Book Depository website.

Customers simply need to visit bookdepository.com and apply their coupon code at check out to take advantage of the discounts. And with free delivery on all orders, it is a no brainer!

大家應該都知道，我最近每天早上都六點左右起來讀英文，讀完之後再幫兩個孩子做早餐。我讀英文其實並沒有具體的即時應用場合，但由於阿富律師一直有個計畫，就是可以開拓外國人在台灣的法律需求市場，我也希望，有天派得上用場的時候，不需要臨時抱佛腳，畢竟語言技能並非十天半個月的練習，就能夠上手的。

不過，自己自修雖然可以自由控制進度跟時長，但少了很多對談練習，缺乏實戰經驗，遇上外國人時，不管說還是聽，還是很難對答如流。我雖然也有報名坊間的成人英語班，但常常因為進度無法配合我的作息，就會有長達幾週都缺課的狀態。

最近，正好受到聯經出版的邀請，體驗了「聯經陪你讀書 Linking Read With You」線上英語學習課程，用45分鐘的時間，跟美國教師線上學英文。除了上課用全英文對話，老師還用答題、理解單字以及寫短句等等方式，來檢測我的各項語文能力。

課前，聯經寄出線上教學服務契約及課前問卷先讓我了解教學模式，並調查我的學習目標，再發出邀請，通知上課的時間。

我選擇了早上貝貝上課以後，9點多與英文老師Nicole連線。Nicole是個笑容很親切、說話語速適中、教學態度也很熱情的大女生。過程中，我們讀了一些文章，然後她給我幾個小測驗，來測試我對文章的理解程度，並藉此得到我在字彙、文法、聽寫等等技巧上的程度，過程中不會有壓力，我還跟Nicole談笑。

其實我的英文程度很普通，大概就是去旅遊可以問問路、點點菜而已。但是Nicole的專業引導，讓我不會有原本覺得鴨子聽雷的擔憂，所閱讀的文章也很活潑、很有意思。

課程結束之後，我收到Nicole寄來的英文能力分析報告，相當的詳盡，還給我如何改善各樣語言能力的建議。

像是這段

Study Tips:
• If your pronunciation is weak, do some mouth exercises to help loosen your jaw, then practice combining troublesome sounds.
• If your grammar is weak, practice and identifying your own errors.
• If your vocabulary is weak, keep a dictionary in your bag and use it when you don't know the meaning of a word.
• If your listening is weak, jot down key words to help you remember the important parts.
• If your speaking is weak, practice speaking with native English speakers.
• If your reading is weak, read for at least 20 minutes a day from a variety of sources (novels, newspapers, magazines, etc.)
• If your writing is weak, keep a journal and write at least 10 sentences about your day before you go to sleep.

我覺得真的超實用又專業。

除了上面的秘訣，每個我上課時犯的小錯誤，或是需要改善的地方，Nicole都詳細的記錄在報告中，並且告訴我錯在哪裡、怎麼樣可以進步，而且很多地方都用數據表達，簡直像是語文版的豪華健康檢查套餐。

或許很多媽媽們或女生，會覺得目前一時沒有使用英文的場合不需要學，但我覺得語言這種東西，等你有天用得上才要學，就太慢了，維持一定的英文程度，不管是突然遇到外國人，或是天上掉下來難得的機會，或是想要拓展現在的生活圈，還是教育小孩等等，都是迫在眉睫，應該讓自己必備的能力。

這套課程和市場上其他線上英語課程最大的不同點，在於「選讀經典原著來真正學好英文」。對這套課程有興趣的人，多數都是喜歡閱讀、期待自己的英文能力到達母語人士水準、以及未來預備要出國深造或生活者。

聯經從美國引進Read With You Center for Language and Development這項教學服務（簡稱RWY，亞洲客服團隊則設於北京），強調教學研究團隊的語言學背景與美國各地學校實際教學經驗，且以聞名世界的經典英文原著為教材，希望協助想真正學好英文的人，用正確的方式和道地的文本，獲得聽說讀寫都提升、帶得走又用得到的學習成果。

目前「聯經陪你讀書 Linking Read With You」課程分為兩個學習方案，皆由美籍教師真人在線上一對一授課：
1. 初學課：1堂課，課程長度45分鐘。主要目標為提供學習者一次性的課程，讓學習者認識這套學習系統、以及線上學習的過程。此外，教師會在45分鐘課程中根據學習者的學習狀態，評估聽說讀寫各向度的英語能力，並於課後提供學習者一份專屬於個人、非常完整的英語能力分析報告。

2. 完整應用課：1+10堂課，課程長度45分鐘+600分鐘。包含前述的初學課和英語能力分析報告在內，再根據學習者的程度、興趣和學習目標，安排600分鐘課程（每週一次，一堂60分鐘，共計10堂）。在完整應用課中，精選6本經典文本作為學習教材的選項，希望透過台灣讀者熟悉且喜愛的書籍，開拓一條不一樣的語言學習之途。

很推薦大家可以了解看看喔！

[英文學習] 到底該如何閱讀英文？

Extensive, intensive, or narrow reading? What is skimming and scanning?

英語學習者經常被要求在課堂上以多種方式閱讀。有些學習者被要求開口朗誦，讀出每個單詞。有些學習者則默念於心以理解文本。但默讀時，學習者該略讀其要義還是掃讀關鍵細節？抑或專注於語言功能還是練習閱讀策略？

English learners are often asked to read in diverse ways in the classroom. Some are asked to read orally and sound out each word. Others are told to read silently for comprehension. However, when reading silently, should learners skim for essential meanings or scan for key details? Or should they focus on linguistic features and practice reading strategies?

★★★★★★★★★★★★

Oral Reading

在找到一種閱讀方法之前，讓我們來檢視一下不同的閱讀類型。朗誦需要老師或學生大聲地朗讀，並幫助學生掌握聲韻，幫助他們改進語調、腔調、重音與節奏。默讀則包含精讀、泛讀以及窄式閱讀。

Before we can address these questions and find a suitable reading approach, let’s examine what the different reading types are.

Oral reading involves the teacher or students reading aloud and helps students to develop prosody, improving their intonation, tone, stress, and rhythm. Silent reading consists of intensive, extensive, and narrow reading, amongst others.

★★★★★★★★★★★★

Intensive Reading

精讀需要學習者在特定的學習目標與任務中進行精細的閱讀。這通常是課堂上的要求，學生須專注在文法及標示語等細節。同時學生還須辨別關鍵詞彙，並在老師的指導下仔細且反覆地閱讀文本。其目的在於建立語言知識以及對字面意涵、言外之意與修辭關係的理解。閱讀材料通常是少於５００字的文本，因為較長的文本可能導致閱讀時難以關注到所有細節。

Intensive reading refers to reading in detail with specific learning aims and tasks. It is typically classroom-based, and students focus on features such as grammar and discourse markers. Students also identify key vocabulary, and text is read carefully and repeatedly with instructor input. The aim is to build language knowledge and understanding of literal meaning, implications, and rhetorical relationships. The materials used are usually shorter texts of 500 words or less at a time because it might be too difficult to focus on so many details with longer texts.

★★★★★★★★★★★★

Narrow Reading

窄式閱讀可被視為一種特殊的精讀，它是基於「可理解輸入」此一概念，意即學生閱讀略高於自身語言能力的材料。如此一來，在老師的協助下，學生得以輕鬆地專注於新的語言特徵。在練習窄式閱讀時，教師通常會找同一作者或同一主題的文章。因此，關鍵詞彙與文法結構會重複出現，學生便有更多機會在稍異的文本中看到這些特徵。這是一種非常成功的方法，因為它可以增進學生對文本的理解。

Narrow reading can be classified as a specific type of intensive reading. It is based on the concept of comprehensible input, in which students read materials slightly above their current linguistic abilities. In this way, students can easily focus on new language features with the aid of their teacher. When practicing narrow reading, teachers can find texts by the same author or the same topic. Thus, key vocabulary and grammatical structures repeat themselves, and students get many opportunities to see these features in slightly different contexts. It is a highly successful method because the comprehension of the text is enhanced due to learner familiarity with the author and subject matter.

★★★★★★★★★★★★

Extensive Reading, Scanning & Skimming

另一方面，泛讀需要學習者閱讀較長的文章，甚至閱讀整本小說以自娛並發展一般的閱讀技巧。泛讀經常是課外活動，因為老師可能會覺得這無法有效利用課堂時間，或者老師不希望課堂上太過安靜。

泛讀可能需要兩項技能：掃讀與略讀。我們可以掃讀關鍵細節或略讀要義。略讀與掃讀可使讀者大致掌握文本涵意。這並非意味著您在精讀時就不能略讀或掃讀，只是精讀通常專注在學習並理解語言特徵。當代的教育政策格外強調泛讀，因為我們期許學習者可以自主學習，並在課外進行閱讀。就其核心理念而言，泛讀鼓勵語言學習者讀其所愛！

On the other hand, extensive reading involves learners reading longer texts and even complete novels for enjoyment, and it aids learners in developing general reading skills. Extensive reading is usually done outside the classroom because teachers might feel it is not an effective use of class time, or are just uncomfortable with the extended silence.

Scanning and skimming are two skills commonly used in extensive reading. Readers can scan for key details or skim for essential meaning. Reading quickly with skimming and scanning can give readers a global or general understanding of the materials. This does not mean students cannot skim or scan when reading intensively, but typically, intensive reading focuses on learning and understanding linguistic features. Extensive reading is stressed in contemporary education policies, as learners are expected to be autonomous and read outside of class. At its core, extensive reading encourages language learners to read what they like!

★★★★★★★★★★★★

How should you read?

既然您已大致瞭解這幾種閱讀方式，您決定好要使用哪一種了嗎？答案是——您需要視情況而定！若您想進行泛讀，可閱讀更多有趣的新聞。若想精讀，您可以分析段落並與老師以及同學們回答問題。若想使用窄式閱讀，您可以找同一作者的同一主題文章，並專注在語言特徵。有些人甚至想以朗誦的方式來加強韻律或是重複閱讀來增加流暢度。

Now that you have a glimpse of different reading approaches, have you decided which you will use? The "answer" is that you need each for a different situation! You can practice extensive reading when reading for pleasure, or intensive reading when analyzing paragraphs with your teachers and peers. As for narrow reading, you can find articles by the same author on the same topic and focus on language features. Some might even want to practice oral reading to improve prosody or repeated reading to increase fluency.

訓練有素的老師可以傳授您各種不同的閱讀方法與策略，如此您便可自行練習。但即便您知道該怎麼做，您是否有足夠的決心與毅力？您該如何選擇閱讀材料並且積累閱讀策略呢？

A trained teacher can provide you with approaches and strategies for each situation so you can practice them on your own. However, even when you know how to read, do you have the determination and perseverance to read or do so much? How do you select the right materials, and how do you acquire reading strategies?

★★★★★★★★★★★★

Narrow Reading Course

如果您需要這些閱讀技巧與學習方法，也想練習窄式閱讀，那麼王梓沅老師的英文課程可以幫助到您。王梓沅老師將窄式閱讀拓展為窄式學習法，在不同的媒體上關注同一作者的同一主題資料。他的課程還使用「成長心態」與「恆毅力」學習法，傳授學習者如何開始並持之以恆，而後成為自己成功路上的最佳導師！

If you need these reading and learning strategies and want to practice narrow reading, Alexander Wang’s course is the one for you. Alex expands the narrow reading approach into narrow learning, focusing on effective language learning by using materials from the same author, the same theme, but different media. His class also guides students in developing a growth mindset with an emphasis on grit, teaching learners how they can start and sustain their learning.

The class aims to help learners become their own teachers on their English learning journey!
