Do you think that taking their own vocabulary tests helps students learn the words?
This reflective question and many others await your discussion and analysis in this revised edition of TESOL Press’s best-selling Teaching Reading, which explores different approaches to teaching reading in second language classrooms. This volume contains five new chapters:
- Intensive Reading
- Comprehension Activities
- Reading and Vocabulary
- Selecting a Reading Textbook
- Assessing Reading
The author has also included a new, detailed lesson plan. As in the previous edition, the goal of this book is to engage teachers in reflection on how reading may be most effectively taught to ESOL learners.
