Teaching and Researching Reading

Applied Linguistics in Action

by William Grabe, Fredricka L. Stoller

Now in its third edition, Teaching and Researching Reading charts the field of reading (first and second language) systematically and coherently for the benefit of language teaching practitioners, students, and researchers. This volume provides background on how reading works and how reading differs for second language learners. The volume includes reading-curriculum principles, evidence-based teaching ideas, and a multi-step iterative process for conducting meaningful action research on reading-related topics. The volume outlines 14 projects for teacher adaptation and use, as well as numerous new and substantially expanded resource materials that can be used for both action research and classroom instruction.

It is so nice!

[Erica Williams · Rating 3 out of 5]

As an avid reader myself, I am always trying to get my students to read more in Spanish and English. Most of Grabe and Stoller's ideas on how to incorporate reading in the classroom were fantastic ways to create autonomous learners. I love the different ways they explain how to deep read in the classroom without looking for comprehension questions. Also the idea of extensive reading and creating future readers is one of my top goals as a teacher.
If you're a teacher and you're stuck on how to teach reading, then this book is for you!

Up-to-date and thoroughly researched summary of what is known about teaching first and second language reading. Co-author is Fredericka L. Stoller. Both William Grabe and Fredericka Stoller are experts in this field.
