3802	Hi, I joined your group about a month ago. A few weeks ago I had a problem with my computer and I had to change the hard drive. Since then I haven't received...	Jill Simon Jill.Simon@...	Jul 7, 2008 12:30 pm
3803	Hi Jill, Nothing has been posted since June 18th. At that time there was a lot of action about using Moodle to see if students really read the books and about...	stewart_reading@... jaltsigchief	Jul 7, 2008 8:16 pm
3804	I found Ogden's Basic English very interesting but sometimes unwieldy. Basic English is often not simple English. Here is a passage from Harry Potter in Basic...	dk davkees	Jul 12, 2008 2:54 pm
3805	Parody and pastiche are an art, dk good at this for Basic. But the huge empirical base of texts in Basic on many subjects will show it is far from clumsy or...	Bill Templer bill_templer	Jul 13, 2008 2:04 am
3806	I am not attempting parody. Those examples I gave were from the Basic English website[1] that you recommended. I did not make them up. I am not joking. I have...	dk davkees	Jul 13, 2008 5:30 pm
3807	Hi David, I owe you an apology, not pastiche. I think Jim Manor probably translated this bit from Rawlings. Jim runs the BASIC website, is a top-notch system...	Bill Templer bill_templer	Jul 14, 2008 9:42 am
3808	One restriction of these Basic readers is that they try to translate everything into Basic. One advantage of a simplified version is that they can simply skip...	dk davkees	Jul 15, 2008 2:40 am

3810	Sorry all, That message got truncated. I feel that what's needed is a simplified system based on comprehensibility not necessarily words in a list. Ogden's...	Rob Waring waring_robert	Jul 15, 2008 3:53 am
3811	Thanks for the useful history lesson, Rob. That was new to me. -george jacobs _____ From: ExtensiveReading@yahoogroups.com ...	George Jacobs jacobs_george	Jul 15, 2008 3:58 am
3812	I don�t think we should spend time debating. Ogden had a great deal to say about technical terminology, as did Richards, for example here:...	Bill Templer bill_templer	Jul 16, 2008 6:31 am
3813	"I don't think we should spend time debating." Although it would be a lot more friendly of us to simply accept what each person says, sometimes we do have to...	dk davkees	Jul 17, 2008 11:10 pm

3820	Hello all. Our new Teacher Training course got off to a chaotic start today. One of the surprises was that one of our trainers has to teach our students a new...	urgetoo	Sep 2, 2008 2:17 am
3821	Hi Urgetoo, I would recommend that you read AKio Furukawa's article: http://www.seg.co.jp/sss/information/SSSER-2006.htm The Start with Simple Stories (SSS)...	Tom tc2142000	Sep 2, 2008 9:42 pm

3823	First of all, I think it is great that you getting the teachers to try extensive reading. I've done the same thing in my own teacher training experiences, and...	Scott Miles scottmiles67	Sep 9, 2008 11:23 am
3824	Summaries are important and useful, but as suggested by Scott they are probably not so well-suited for ER. If used, however, you have to take a comprehension...	Carlos Mayora carlos_teach...	Sep 9, 2008 7:32 pm

3826	I have a small problem. I gave an EPER test to a (very) small class of third-year College of English students. Three of them scored 10 to 14 points, while the...	Rocky Nelson jrnelsonaz	Sep 16, 2008 8:33 pm
3827	Rocky, As I'm sure you are aware, it would be impossible for the students who scored around 10 on the EPER test to do any reading on their own. My advice is to...	Lemmer Richard richardlemme...	Sep 17, 2008 1:12 am
