The art of reading
Why do language textbook publishers tend to focus so much on speaking and listening? The answer isthat we live in the modern world, with our use of smart phones, email, twitter and so on. People want to beable to listen to the international news on television, talk to someone who doesn’t speak their own language,and use the Internet. Listening and speaking are nowadays the language skills apparently most needed, andmost emphasized in textbooks today.
Students want to be able to speak and communicate in Japanese, English or any other of the many
languages spoken in the world. Reading is less emphasized because it is thought of as a silent activity.
Vocabulary and grammar are often introduced in a reading text. Then speaking and listening are practiced inlanguage classes.
But learning our own language, like Japanese, puts greater emphasis on reading and the practice of−5−writing. A young child at school has to learn how to read quickly and accurately. Of course, learning to readdepends very much on how the language is written. We can compare Japanese usage with English. Japaneseuses kanji and kana, while English depends on understanding how the alphabet is used. Reading is a visualcommunication. Japanese kanji are visually more expressive than an alphabet language like English. Froman early age, Japanese children learn to recognize the meaning of a small number of kanji. By contrast, analphabet language depends on letters, which give the sound of a word. When an American child at first begins
to read the words horse or cat, the image of the animal is not there. But once the child has got used to reading,ordinary words will quickly take on an image and even a feeling. Words like horse or cat are now seen as
word-pictures.
On the other hand, languages need to use more complex words to talk about the feelings and reactions ofhuman beings, So, we have the word psychology. Words like psychology take longer to be filed away in ourmemory. But with time and a little thinking, it will become easier to read the more complex word. Psychology
is made up out of two Greek words. Psyche (the mind) and –ology (the study) mean the study of the humanmind. In the same way that technology is the study of making technically advanced machines like computers.
Let’s now think about what we do when we read a piece of writing. The art of reading, whether in theJapanese language or English, is basically the same. The reader has to try and understand what a writer istelling us.
We can start by thinking about a short piece of writing. Think about a message written on a university
notice board. What do we need to know? We need to check the key words, usually placed at the top of a pieceof writing. Is this message reminding us about the time of a professor’s lecture? Where is the lecture taking
place? Check through the information first.
In longer pieces of writing, the writer has to think about the reader. The basic organization of a university
report must have a clear pattern, with a beginning, a middle, and a conclusion. The reader is like a passenger
on a train who wants to know exactly where the train is going. So, the writer has to think about what is going
to be difficult for the reader to understand. The reader cannot ask the writer any questions about what iswritten in the text. The text is a one-way communication, and the reader works alone.
A university report needs to have a clear visual pattern of organization and layout. The ideas shouldbe easy to follow. The reader has to look carefully at the written text before starting to read. If you lookback at this text, you can see the words making sentences, and the sentences arranged into paragraphs. Eachparagraph should represent one part of the whole picture.
A piece of writing is a success if all the ideas fit together. That is why each paragraph has to explain andtake forward the main idea by adding more examples. The reader must be able to follow the writer’s thinking
right until the end of the text. At that final point, the reader should feel a nice sense of satisfaction. “At last, I
have understood,” the reader says, smiling happily. “Now I have learned something.”
This is the art of reading. Of course, the reader doesn’t have to agree with all of the writer’s ideas, but
at least the message has to be clear and understandable. “To see” in English is often used as another way ofsaying “to understand.” Do you see what I mean?
