researchers interested in the exploration and analysis of the issues of
teaching/learning reading and writing from a wide range of disciplinary
perspectives, including second language acquisition, linguistics,
psycholinguistics, sociolinguistics, educational psychology, pedagogy, or
foreign language didactics, to name but a few.
