Description
Reading and language learning are interdependent. While reading necessitates linguistic knowledge, reading ability enhances linguistic knowledge expansion. This volume explores the reciprocal relationship between reading and language learning.
Explores how reading and language learning are interrelated, bringing new insights to discussions on the
unique nature of reading development in a second language
Covers topics including cross-linguistic constraints on second-language reading development, bilingualism
and literacy, linguistic resources and reading strategies, incidental vocabulary acquisition through reading,
local language processing and global text comprehension, and cross-linguistic effects on word identification
Views second-language reading as a multi-faceted and multi-lingual construct
Examines a variety of reading sub-skills, ranging from word identification to discourse comprehension.
