Spiral Curriculum Following the guidelines of American Psychological Association

Reading makes a man perfect. Reading for pleasure is different from reading for serious purposes such as to gather information for conceptualizing any topic. The latter is essential for tech students, but unfortunately many are not adapted to this type of reading. English for specific purpose aims at it. Planning a spiral curriculum and spiral teaching for technical reading is expected to have a good outcome. Spiral curriculum unlike the traditional curriculum moves from easy to difficult. A topic is chosen that moves from basic facts to complexity but revisiting the basic facts every time thus offering reiterate of understanding the concepts. This can be done in three layers of reading – browsing, scanning and skimming.
