[Japanling] RFL 33(2) is now online

[National Foreign Language Resource Center]

The October 2021 issue (Volume 33, Number 2) of our electronic journal *Reading
in a Foreign Language *(RFL) is now online and can be read at:


https://nflrc.hawaii.edu/rfl/


This issue of *RFL *has four articles. In the first article, Bartolo
Bazan reports on his examination of visuospatial working memory and
individual differences in reading fluency growth. Next, Ray J.T. Liao
presents the findings of his study of comparing the processes that English
as a second language students used when completing reading tasks in a
multiple-choice question format with those in a short-answer question
format. In the third article, Brett Milliner examines what happens
when timed reading, repeated oral reading, and extensive reading are
combined. The fourth article, by Shuyi Yang, is concerned with the
applicability of word reading, word segmentation, and text reading as
diagnostic tools to assess comprehension, detect struggling readers, and
inform instruction for low-level Chinese as second language learners.



There are three articles in the Discussion Forum. Batia Laufer discusses an
article by Stuart McLean that was in our April issue, New Directions in
Reading Research, on the coverage comprehension model. This is followed by
a reply to Laufer by Stuart McLean and Tim Stoeckel. In the final article,
Charlie Taylor discusses a critical issue, the Input Hypothesis, raised by
Ya-han Yang, Hsi-chin Chu & Wenta Tseng in their article in the April issue.



There are two articles in New Directions in Reading Research. Friederike
Fichtner and Joe Barcroft explain the Input-based incremental approach and
demonstrate how it can be applied when teaching authentic texts.
Next, Stuart Webb discusses lexical coverage and lexical profiling.



This issue concludes with the valuable October feature, Readings on L2
Reading: Publications in Other Venues 2020–2021. This is edited by Shenika
Harris, Yanjie Li, David Balmaceda, José Luis Garrido Rivera, and Hadis
Ghaedi.
