DESIGNING INTEGRATED ONLINE EXERCISES
FOR ADVANCED

Effective summarising is not intuitive: it requires practising specifically-taught skills in an integrated process of reading, comprehending, note-taking, planning and writing (Johns 1988; Juan & Palmer 1998). For advanced EFL English students successfully to integrate these skills, detailed and nuanced online auto-feedback would be very useful, using a mixed collection of the auto-summarising technology that has been developed over the past decade (Endres-Niggemeyer 2000; Franzke & Streeter 2006; Sparck Jones 2007). Preliminary design thoughts are offered here, following diagnostic findings on difficulties faced by advanced EFL students in reading comprehension prior to summarising. |
