The Adventages of Creative Pre-, While- And Postreading Activities in English Lessons

good results. Therefore, it is more useful to centre topics and literary texts which have
significance for the learners, treat them in a different way and employing new methods,
such as reading different texts in the English lessons (for example Harry Potter") and
applying creative writing. Reading, writing, learning English should make sense to the
pupils. ESL2/EFL learners need a reason to read."3 Fortunately, these changes are
even visible in the current curricula guidelines.
In my term paper, I will lay the focus on pre-, while- and post-reading-activities with
regard to literature. Firstly, I will present the aims and advantages of while- and postreading-
activities, then I will carry out a practical approach by suggesting a short story
("Peter's Beach") and presenting some post-reading-activities and discussing them.
