Reading is not only about recognizing words — it’s about understanding, questioning, and connecting ideas. Strategic readers use different techniques to make sense of what they read. Before reading, they look at titles, subtitles, and pictures to predict what the text might be about. This helps them activate their background knowledge and prepare for new information.

While reading, good readers identify key words, take notes, and make inferences — that is, they read between the lines. They also stop to check if they really understand the text, and they don’t hesitate to reread a paragraph if something isn’t clear. Scanning and skimming are two important strategies: “scanning” is used to find specific information, like dates or names, and “skimming” is reading quickly to get the general idea.

After reading, strategic readers summarize the main ideas and reflect on what they have learned. They may also discuss the text with others, compare it with different opinions, or relate it to real-life experiences. In this way, reading becomes more meaningful and enjoyable. Being a strategic reader means being an active thinker who learns from every text.

Text

Arjun had always felt most comfortable behind the scenes, quietly working as a stagehand at the town’s community theater. One day, when the lead actor suddenly fell ill hours before the premiere of the much-anticipated play, panic gripped the cast and crew. The director, in desperation, turned to Arjun and asked him to step in.

Although reluctant, Arjun agreed. He spent every spare moment backstage absorbing the script and mimicking the lead actor’s delivery. When the curtains finally rose, Arjun’s heart pounded as he stepped into the spotlight. His voice trembled at first, but as the story unfolded, something remarkable happened. He connected with the character and felt a surge of confidence.

By the end of the play, Arjun had not only delivered a stellar performance but also received a standing ovation. For years, he had believed that his place was behind the scenes. But that night, Arjun realized that true potential is often discovered in moments of adversity. The experience left him wondering how many hidden talents lie dormant simply because of fear or hesitation.

The cardiovascular system provides blood supply throughout the body. Responding to various stimuli can control the velocity and amount of blood carried through the vessels. The cardiovascular system comprises the heart, arteries, veins, and capillaries. The heart and vessels work intricately to provide adequate blood flow to all body parts. The regulation of the cardiovascular system occurs via a myriad of stimuli, including changing blood volume, hormones, electrolytes, osmolarity, medications, adrenal glands, kidneys, and much more.

Formative assessment in the context of English language teaching is a dynamic and interactive process that prioritizes the continuous monitoring of learners’ linguistic, cognitive, and socio‑emotional development (Black & Wiliam, 1998). Its primary purpose is not merely to quantify achievement, but to scaffold learning through diagnostic feedback, reflective practices, and metacognitive engagement. In basic education, formative assessment encourages learners to co‑construct meaning, identify strengths and areas for improvement, and develop autonomous strategies for language use. Effective implementation requires teachers to integrate multimodal resources, collaborative tasks, and culturally authentic materials, ensuring that assessment aligns with communicative competence, intercultural awareness, and ethical dimensions of learning. By positioning assessment as a tool for empowerment rather than control, educators foster critical thinking, learner agency, and a deeper engagement with both linguistic structures and social practices of the target language.

BLACK, P., & WILIAM, D. (1998). Assessment and classroom learning. Assessment in Education: Principles, Policy & Practice, 5(1), p. 7–74.

About the text and based on advanced perspectives on formative assessment in English language teaching in basic education, judge the following items. 
Formative assessment is designed to align with communicative competence, intercultural awareness, and ethical dimensions of learning.
