Leseverstehen (fortgeschritten)

Advanced Reading Comprehension

Englisch Klasse 10 15 Aufgaben
LesenVerstehenAnalysis

Bei anspruchsvollen Sach- und literarischen Texten geht es um Detailauswertung: implizite Aussagen erschließen, Haltung und Absicht des Autors erkennen, Struktur und Belege nachzeichnen. Getragen wird das — die Leseforschung ist hier eindeutig — vom Wortschatz: Erst hohe Textabdeckung macht Schlussfolgern überhaupt möglich. Es ist die Lesekompetenz, auf der Literaturanalyse und Abitur-Klausuren stehen.
