Becoming a Reading Teacher : Connecting Research and Practice Paperback / softback
by Jane Spiro, Amos Paran
Part of the Research and Resources in Language Teaching series
Paperback / softback
Description
This book encourages readers to think about reading not only as an encounter with written language, but as a lifelong habit of engagement with ideas.
We look at reading in four different ways: as linguistic process, personal experience, collective experience, and as classroom practice.
We think about how reading influences a life, how it changes over time, how we might return at different stages of life to the same reading, how we might respond differently to ideas read in an L1 and L2.
There are 44 teaching activities, all founded on research that explores the nature, value and impact of reading as an authentic activity rather than for language or study purposes alone.
We consider what this means for schools and classrooms, and for different kinds of learners.
The final part of the book provides practical stepping stones for the teacher to become a researcher of their own classes and learners.
The four parts of the book offer a virtuous join between reading, teaching and researching.
It will be useful for any teacher or reader who wishes to refresh their view of how reading fits in to the development of language and the development of a reading life.
