AB - The purpose of this study is to show how the two most basic reading skills
in an EFL teaching of reading - guessing meaning from context and making
inferences - can be taught through literature teaching. To this end, this study
has chosen two of the most popular English literature in Korea to show how
in practice it can be applied in an EFL reading class. This study points out
and explains 10 instances of guessing meaning from context and 33 instances
of making inferences. In this way, this study shows that when examples that
are relevant to the two reading skills are well-chosen they promote and
strengthen the learners overall reading competency and make them more
fluent readers. The limitation of this study, however, lies in the absence of
specific teaching suggestions based on the “actual classroom experiment.” The
administration of reading tests to ascertain how well Korean EFL learners
perform the two reading skills - guessing meaning from context and making
inferences - and with which features of them they have most difficulty with
would have provided a better framework for developing a ‘teaching plan’ for
the above two reading strategies.
