Teaching and Researching: Reading

Applied Linguistics in Action

by William Grabe, Fredricka L. Stoller

Reading may seem straightforward, but within the language learning and teaching environment there are a host of competing theories which examine the ways in which reading can be taught effectively. This title considers all of those most prevalent and active theories and builds connections from research on reading, to sound instructional practices and suggests research possibilities. Offering an overview of reading theory, it summarises the main ideas and issues in first and second language contexts and covers key research studies.

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!
