This text is a self-contained, student-centered methods text that
connects reading theory to practical classroom activities. The paperback
edition, ideal for introductory courses on the teaching of second
language reading, connects reading theory to practical classroom
activities. Teachers begin by exploring their beliefs and assumptions
about reading and analyzing their own reading strategies. This leads to
a critical examination of the pedagogical issues central to the reading
classroom, including selecting appropriate activities and effective
lesson planning.
