The course is about how to be an effective speaker, and the speaker himself is a highly effective speaker. So he is giving us an actual example of the very thing that he is talking about. His expressions and gestures are perfectly suited to the points he is making. And his pronunciation is very clear and easy to understand. Also his sentences are spoken with the emphasis in the right places. This course is designed for native speakers of English. The same basic principles could probably be applied in a course designed for non-native speakers. I would like to see such a course someday. I am really enjoying this course.

In education, reading is the basic level and reflecting is the higher level of learning. Therefore, to reflect upon a text, to achieve comprehension in reading, a learner must work hard on certain skills. The teacher/educator must devise strategies to impart, instill and facilitate these skills to make learners/children competent. The value of reflection lies in its meaningful exercise which can require as much time and work as traditional essays and reports because it asks students to be purposeful and engaged participants, readers, and thinkers. Too often we have reduced reading in to a phonics and grammar practice. But to be literate, one needs to read things critically. Proper reading is a part of 'instrumental literacy'. Instrumental literacy is made up of all those proficiencies one needs in order to be able to access a text and understand what it is doing to readers. Students need to be invited to become linguistic detectives as well as encouraged to practice writing texts that do different kinds of work. A teacher plays a critical role to facilitate these skills and instill them in the learners for a long-lasting comprehension. In this realm, metacognition features a crucial aspect. It can be defined as "thinking about thinking." Good readers use metacognitive strategies to think about and have control over their reading. Before reading, they might clarify their purpose for reading and preview the text. During reading, they might monitor their understanding, adjusting their reading speed to fit the difficulty of the text and "fixing" any comprehension problems they have. After reading, they check their understanding of what they read. Hence reading and reflecting on text takes the genre of reading as a language skill, acquisition of reading skills, reading for global and local comprehension, critical reading, ways of reading and developing writing skills.
