Abstract:

This book presents a wide-ranging examination of extensive reading and its
great role in increasing literacy and language development as well as
fostering a positive attitude towards reading. The authors are first
concerned with theoretical issues pertaining to reading English as a
foreign or second language, showing how a theoretical model can be
instrumental in helping teachers to encourage their students to learn to
read. Then, the authors discuss the place and role of literature in
language instruction at different levels, ranging from primary to
university, where the term literature denotes both texts written for native
speakers and graded texts designed for language learners. Suggestions are
provided for integrating extensive reading into the curriculum,
establishing a library, and selecting reading materials. The authors also
present numerous benefits which can accrue from extensive reading, namely:
improvements in learners' general language proficiency, reading fluency,
vocabulary acquisition, affective changes as well as developing
communicative and (inter)cultural competences - a priority of the
present-day EFL/ESL classroom. Finally, the text provides practical
teaching tips, including extensive reading programme guidelines, lesson
plans and activities. This innovative book will undoubtedly be a worthwhile
reference source for teachers, teacher educators, and teacher trainees for
years to come.

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Eastern Michigan University and as such 
can receive donations through the EMU Foundation, which is a registered 501(c) Non 
Profit organization. Our Federal Tax number is 38-6005986. These donations can be 
offset against your federal and sometimes your state tax return (U.S. tax payers 
only). For more information visit the IRS Web-Site, or contact your financial advisor.

Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that they will match any 
gift you make to a non-profit organization. Normally this entails your contacting 
your human resources department and sending us a form that the EMU Foundation fills 
in and returns to your employer. This is generally a simple administrative procedure 
that doubles the value of your gift to LINGUIST, without costing you an extra penny. 
Please take a moment to check if your company operates such a program.
