In addition, Advance Reading focuses on an interactive approach to reading that engages the students to critical and extensive reading activities for developing critical thinking skills. This approach includes aspects of both intensive and extensive reading, which enables the students to develop their independent reading ability by means of authentic and full-scale texts of various disciplines while exercising particular aspects of critical reading strategies. In so doing, the students are encouraged to freely contribute in the selection of reading texts and to actively participate in classroom activities to develop critical reading requiring critical thinking skills.
