520 _a"This handbook will be useful for both beginning and experienced teachers who want to improve their practical strategies in teaching second language reading and their understanding of the reading process. The book examines a variety of approaches from classrooms and research that are used in teaching reading, and explores teaching methods focused on strategies. Teachers are encouraged to think about their own beliefs and opinions on the nature of reading and to examine their own personal reading activities. Each chapter includes discussion and study questions designed to promote further discussion about issues raised. There are four central themes: The reading context and its familiarity will affect how the reader reads and interacts with the text; The extent to which language is a problem varies with how familiar and easy the reading task is; Learners' knowledge of the world can assist in the reading process, and is reflected in the depth and breadth of their vocabulary; The extent to which a learner's reading experience is meaningful will affect their motivation, interest, and engagement. Includes discussion questions and exercises." (Publisher's Website)
