another day and another learning for all
of you
before we proceed to our lesson that we
are going to discuss for today
let's have first a short recap from what
we have learned last week
so here it is
[Music]
okay so for today's lesson we will be
discussing the basics
of summarizing but before that
let's define first the word summarizing
so when we say summarizing it includes
the gist or main idea useful
informations
key words or phrases that help you to
meet
your reading purpose and it is usually
done
after reading when you do summarizing it
depends
your understanding about the text you
can also learn to identify relevant
informations or
key ideas summarizing also capture
the key ideas in the text and put them
together
clearly and concisely take note
that you are not summarizing when you
are just
write down everything write down
irrelevant
and incoherent ideas when you write down
ideas that are not stated in the text
and when you are just write down summary
that has same length or that is
longer than the original text
so if you are having a hard time doing a
summary
i will be giving you guidelines to make
your life
easier the first one is when you are
doing a summary
you have to clarify your purpose before
you read
the second one you have to read and
understand the meaning of the text
the third one you have to select and
underline
or circle the key ideas and phrases
while reading another strategy is
to annotate the text the word one
without looking at the text
you have to identify the connections of
key ideas and phrases using
a concept map the fifth one is you have
to combine the sentences
into a paragraph so for that you have to
use appropriate transitional devices to
improve your cohesion
another is you have to ensure that you
do not
copy a single sentence from the original
text
next you have to edit the draft of your
summary
by eliminating redundant ideas
and for the last guideline you need to
compare your
output from the original text to ensure
accuracy so we have three formats in
summarizing
the first one is what we call idea
heading format in this format
the summaries idea comes before the
citation
so take a look at this example so as you
can see
our citation is false
2004 almonds
2001. and it is enclosed in a
parenthesis
it is an example of idea heading format
because the summaries idea benchmarking
is a useful strategy
that has the potential to help public
officials improve the performance of
local services
comes before the citation falls
2004 amman's 2001.
the second format is what we call author
heading format
in this format the summarize idea
comes after citation take note that in
this format
the author's name is connected by an
appropriate reporting verb
take a look at our example as you can
see at our example
the summarized idea the students
perceive
fb as an online environment to expedite
language learning specifically english
comes before the citation which is
kabilan ahmad and abidin
2010 the third format in summarizing
is the date heading format in this
format
the summaries idea comes after the date
when the material was published take a
look at our example
as you can see in this example the
summarized idea which is the impact of
participatory development approach
irving and stansberry argue that
participation can be valuable to
participants and the government
in terms of the process and outcomes of
decision making
comes after the date when the material
was published
which is 2004. that's why it is an
example
of date heading format in summarizing
and that's all for our discussion for
today

clarifications about this lesson
