   Reading in EFL: The course explores the current theories of reading and their pedagogical realization. It contrastively reviews the following reading models and subsequent reading procedures and techniques:
   1. I. Top-down model Vs. Bottom up
   2. Interactive models (interactive-activation, compensatory transactional)
   3. Pre reading: Instigating (brainstorming)
   4. While reading: Identification, Investigation, Interpretation

3. Course offering in C2 section (Undergraduate level)
   
   The course gives a brief overview of reading phases and classroom procedures:
   
   1. Pre reading: Instigating (brainstorming)
   2. While reading: Identification, Investigation, Interpretation, Integration
   3. Post reading: Integrating (information transfer)
   
   
   
4. Communicative grammar (All sections)
   
   Communicative Language Teaching has always sought legitimacy in its attempt to bridge the gap between linguistic competence and communicative incompetence. This course will explore the concepts, principles and procedures that engage the learner in interactive, discovery-oriented, task-based activities. Landmark quotations and proposals in the literature will be presented and followed by classroom illustrations that show how purely manipulative language activities can be rehabilitated into natural language behavior closer to real life communication procedures.
