ABSTRACT This book is the second volume of a supplementary textbook to be used either in the classroom or by individual students at home. It is not meant to replace other textbooks that focus on the intensive teaching of Czech grammar and vocabulary. One of the most important features of this book is its use of unaltered, authentic Czech materials. The materials presented here are authentic items that Czechs see every day in newspapers, magazines, signs, advertisements, and in conducting the routines of daily life. This volume focuses on a single skill: reading. The varied readings, exercises, and suggestions for developing and using reading strategies contained in this book are meant to help American users become more skillful readers of Czech. The book consists of twenty units that have been grouped into two levels based on two American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages (ACTFL) proficiency guidelines: Advanced and Advanced Plus. Each unit and its accompanying exercises focus on materials grouped around basic topics, such as transportation, food, housing, health, commerce, communications, entertainment, education, politics, and the environment. Numerous diagrams, figures, tables, and illustrations are provided. Answer keys are included at the end of the book.(KFT)

ii Preface Reading Authentic Czech Volume II is the second volume of a supplementary textbook to be used either in the classroom or by individual students at home. It is not meant to replace other textbooks that focus on the intensive teaching of Czech grammar and vocabulary lists. One of the most important features of this book is its use of unaltered, authentic Czech materials. The materials presented here are the same ones as those that Czech people see every day in newspapers, magazines offices etc. Since The Czech Republic is undergoing rapid economic and political changes at the present time, no social attention should be paid to such details as prices or names of public figures. Rather what readers should pay attention to and become familiar with are: 1/ the context in which these appear, and 2/ the format of materials. Familiarity with the context of the materials and the format in which they appear will provide an invaluable aid in understanding everyday life in the Czech Republic. The present volume focuses on a single skill: reading. The varied readings, exercises, and suggestions for developing and using reading strategies contained in this book are meant to help American users become more skillful readers in Czech. Improvement in reading proficiency may be achieved through the use of appropriate reading strategies, which are explained in the introduction. More detailed explanations on reading strategies appear at the beginning of each level. Reading Authentic Czech Part II consists of twenty units which have been grouped into two levels based on the following ACTFL Proficiency Guideline

Advanced At this level "reader is able to read somewhat longer prose of several paragraphs in length, particularly if presented with a clear underlaying structure. Reader gets the main ideas and facts and misses some details. Comprehension derives not only from situational and subject matter knowledge but from increasing control of the language."

Advanced Plus Reader is "able to read with almost complete comprehension in areas of special interest or knowledge. Such texts can be conceptually abstract and linguistically complex, and/or texts which create unfamiliar topics and situations. (The reader) is able to comprehend the facts and to make inferences though misunderstanding may occur."

There are ten units at each level. Each unit and its accompanying exercises focus on materials grouped around basic topics. A knowledge of these topics is indispensable for understanding printed information concerning matters of everyday life in the Czech Republic, such as transportation, food, housing, health, commerce, communications, entertainment, education, politics, and the environment. The reader has the option of moving from one level to the next or choosing topics she/he is interested in and studying them at different levels. The completion of this volume was possible thanks to a competitive grant awarded to the Center for Applied Linguistics by the International Research and Studies Program of the U.S. Department of Education. I would like to put on record many thanks to all my Czech friends, who helpedme with the writing of this textbook. Special thanks to everyone in the Kosek family in Prague, who suppliedme with tons of printed materials from different Czech newspapers and magazines,

Dr. Michael Heim and Dr.Mila Sagkova-Pierce again providedme invaluable advice, which greatly improved this textbook, and Dr.Eva Roubalova and her students whogave freely of their time and energy to test the first draft.

Mr. Waldemar Walczyiiski is responsible for the layout of the textbook and the graphicpart. Ms. Kathy Kalinyak carefully edited the English part of the textbook.

I would also like to thank my colleagues at the Center for Applied Linguistics for their help in the production of this textbook. To the above persons, and to any I have failedto mention, I express my deepest thanks. I assume responsibility for all omissions and mistakes in this book.

iv 7 Introduction The purpose of this introduction is to have you think about what reading means in real life. In this workbook we approach reading not as an exercise of your skills, but as an activity engaged in by native speakers in daily life. The texts you will read are authentic and presented in the same form as a native speaker would read them. When you complete these workbooks, you should be able to handle reading situations that you would come across in daily life in Czechoslovakia. What is reading? Reading is an active process requiring input from both the reader and the text. The text carries information which the author wants to relay to readers. The author has a purpose and audience in mind when writing the text. For instance, the author may want to sell a product or an idea to a target population or s/he may want to entertain his/her audience. Identifying the author's purpose in writing is part of the reading process. The reader provides input to the reading process from his/her point of view. His/her individual experiences and knowledge play a large role in how s/he perceives information in a text. A reader usually has a reason for reading a text. This reason also affects how s/he reads and perceives a text. What do we read in daily life? It's easier to think about reading if you think about what you actually read in real life. Make a list of what you read in your native language. If you have trouble making your list, think about the kinds of things you read in a single day.

Does your list contain a wide variety of materials? Real life reading materials include an assortment of texts from books, magazines, newspapers, letters, application forms, memos, telephone messages, maps and so on. The Czech texts you will be reading in this workbook are authentic reading materials for native speakers.The texts are from magazines, newspapers, application forms, and other sources that appear in every day life in Czechoslovakia. This workbook will enable you to prepare yourself for the type of reading you will do in Czechoslovakia. How do we read? Look back at your list and think about how you read each of these texts. Do you read them all the same way? Probably not. When reading a newspaper, we look at the headlines of articles and either glance through the article quickly to get the main points or read it closely if we are especially interested in the topic. Reading your history textbook for a test requires intensive reading. However, if you were looking for one specific fact in the history textbook, you would scan through the text for that fact and ignore other parts. You read

V texts differently depending upon your purpose. The exercises in this workbookare designed to give you purposes for reading similar to those in real life. What are reading strategies?

Reading strategies are special techniques, practicesor tools good readers use to read more efficiently. You probably already use them whenyou read in your native language. However, as you are learning Czech you need to makea conscious effort to transfer these strategies to reading Czech. These workbooks giveyou opportunities to practice using reading strategies. The more you practice using strategies, themore efficiently you will be able to read.

This section is devoted to describing some of the reading strategiesyou will encounter in these workbooks.

Recognizing Cognates: Cognates are words thatare similar in two or more languages. As you begin reading Czech, recognizing cognatescan help you easily build your vocabulary base. You already know the words inyour native language and you only need to practice recognizing them in Czech. Sometimes the spelling might be different. Try saying the Czech words aloud to see if they sound likea word you know in another language. Be careful when learning cognates because sometimes wordslook similar in two language but the meanings are different.

Grouping: Grouping is a strategy to helpyou learn vocabulary. Grouping means putting similar words or phrases into categories to facilitate memorization.The grouping creates mental links between the words which helpsyou to recall the words better. Grouping is an individual process. You create groups whichmean something to you personally. The units in these workbooks are thematically oriented,so for instance, in the units on food you can practice grouping food related vocabulary. Grouping is especially importantas you begin reading because the more wordsyou learn, the easier it is for you to read. At the end of each unit you may want to make an inventory of thenew words you would like to learn. You can make your own groups using thespace provided for notes in each unit. Using Your Background Knowledge: Remember that readingrequires as much input from the reader as from the text. Using whatyou already know can help you fill in comprehension gaps. Your background knowledge includesmore than what you know about the world, history and other facts, it also includes whatyou know about the format and scripts of texts. For instance, you know whattypes of information are included in TV and movie schedules, menus, and ads for apartmentsor houses. If you know something about the topic beforehand, you can useyour background knowledge to anticipate the kinds information you expect to find in the text.

Predicting is also part of using your background knowledge. Tryto guess at what comes next in a text. Use your background knowledge to make predictions basedon the titles of texts, the topic sentences or accompanying photographs.

Skimming: Skimming means reading for the gistor general idea of the text. We often skim a text first to find out the main topic. Then, ifwe are interested in the topic we read the text in more detail. Skimming can helpyou activate your background knowledge. For instance, once you know the topic ofan ad is movies, you can use your knowledge of movie ads to anticipate the kinds of specific informationyou think will be in the ad. When we skim, we look at the title, any accompanying pictures, large lettering, the first sentence of the text, and also the format of the text. These cluescan usually give you the topic of the text. Don't try to read every word of the text when you skim. Skipover words you don't

vi know for the time being, you can always go back to them later. Sometimes recognizing the cognates can give you the topic of the text. Scanning: Scanning involves looking for specific information in a text. We scan when we want to find an address and telephone number, the specific name of a political partyin a text on politics, dates in biographical texts, etc. Scanning means having a specific purpose for reading and looking only for this information you need. In real life, we usually have a specific purpose for reading. Identifying this purpose can save you time when reading. If you know what to look for, then you can quickly find the information. Inferencing: Inferencing refers to guessing the meaning of words by looking at the surrounding context. You can also check if the word looks like another word you know in Czech. Try to figure out if it is a noun, verb, or adjective. All of these clues can help you figure out the meaning. Looking up every unfamiliar word you come across while reading is a very time consuming process. When you see unfamiliar words in your native language you can usually figure out the meaning of the word based on the context. Try to guessthe meanings of unfamiliar words in Czech. To verify your guess, see if the meaning you came up with fits with the general content of the text.If you are still uncertain you can always check by looking in a dictionary or asking a native speaker or your teacher. Summarizing: Summarizing is a good technique for checking your comprehension and remembering information. It is a very basic skill which we use daily to convey the essence of a text (The newspaper said that the President spoke at the U.N.) Write a short summary of the text in your own words after reading it.

The texts in this workbook have been chosen to represent a variety of topics. Remember as you learn that the purpose of these texts is to help you learn how to read Czech. The exercises in these workbooks help you practice reading strategies. You need to practice the reading strategies so that using them becomes automatic. There may be other topics you are interested in which are not covered in these workbooks. The reading strategies can be transferred to any text.After you finish these workbooks you should be ready to read authentic materials of your own choosing.
