Answer:
The try out edition of English Reader Class IX, 'Flight' was an attempt to help
students of Secondary level in continuity to the Communicative Functional approach
followed in the text books of classes VI-VIII. The book has been featured with more
exposure to reading in different genres and themes.
After the field reports for the try out edition, the book has now been edited and
five units containing three lessons each (Total 15 lessons) have been retained. It was
found that students and teachers found the book interesting but the approach rather
new. Also, the need to familiarize and provide ample practice with grammar, compre-
hension and integrated skills was emphasized.
The Practice Exercises are designed to equip learners with self learning strategies
and more attractive practice. The exercises have been based on selection from the
reading texts and small easy and enjoyable extracts from poems which have been
exploited for the development of language skills.
The focus of the practice exercises :
Enhanced practice in factual and inferential comprehension through exposure in
multiple choice type exercises.
Extended grammatical practice for all the structural items occurring in context.
Supportive listening and speaking exercises.
Writing tasks that include activities to support study skills.
Some important points to note:
1. Each unit has one practice exercise. Please make the students do these exercises
after completing each unit of the text book.
2. The exercises can be used partially for class work and home work according to
the achievement level of the individual learners.
3. Please read the listening texts slowly and carefully.
4. Help the students understand and do the speaking tasks in the class.
5. Help the students do the writing tasks and check their exercises among them
selves.
6. These exercise can be used for formative evaluation of the learner in English
language skills.
