Метод Чтения Ильи Франка

Метод чтения Ильи Франка — это специальный способ адаптации текста, который способствует пассивному освоению языка. Его можно использовать либо в качестве поддержки, дополнения к разговорной практике, либо просто для пассивного освоения языка (если цель, например, научиться читать книги на том или ином языке).

Как построены такие тексты?

Вот, например, книга «Путешествия Гулливера». Если открыть любую страницу этой книги, то можно увидеть, что текст повести разбит на небольшие отрывки. Сначала идет адаптированный отрывок — текст с вкрапленным в него дословным русским переводом и небольшим лексико-грамматическим комментарием. Затем следует тот же текст, но уже неадаптированный, без подсказок.
