31. Scanning Reading to find specific information. When you scan, you move your eyes over the text to “pull out” specific words, phrases, or data. Usually, you know what you are looking for BEFORE reading (i.e., a test question), so you concentrate on finding the information.

32. Scanning Examples: - You look through the dictionary to find a specific word.

Taking notes when researching - Example Topic: motivation in second language learning P.522: Source exactly: “I therefore believe that we can foresee in future L2 motivation research a dynamic interplay of established motivational concepts grounded in a social psychological approach and constructs rooted in other psychological fields and approaches.” My notes: Dornyei stated that the future of L2 motivation research will probably involve interaction between various fields of psychology and approaches.
