Description

This course introduces students to the nature of reading and how first and second language reading differ, through research on second language reading development and instruction. Students will explore principles of teaching second language reading, evidence-based teaching ideas, and ways of assessing reading development. They will examine pedagogical practices of second language reading development, challenges involved, and principled decision-making to promote reading development. Students will explore their own reading development trajectories, research an issue in second language reading and pedagogy, and develop either lesson/curricular plans or action research plans for second language reading contexts.

This course is closed for registration.
