Teaching and Researching: Reading
is designed to help language professionals understand the complex nature of reading. This volume builds connections from research on reading, to sound instructional practices and action research possibilities. Offering an overview of reading theory, it summarises the main ideas and issues in first and second language contexts and covers key research studies. Grabe and Stoller then explicitly link this research to teaching practice.
In addition to providing erudite research analysis, this is a practical volume and the authors offer advice for practitioners and researchers including a 12-step procedure for conducting meaningful action research projects on reading-related topics, with 27 outlined models for teacher adaptation and use, and numerous figures which can used for both action research and classroom instruction.
Learning aids are also featured in the text, including:
- key concept boxes and glossary of key terms
- quote boxes highlighting critical issues in the field
- index of studies summarised by theme
- index of model action research projects organised by theme
- resource list of relevant journals, books and websites.
Written in an accessible style, Teaching and Researching: Reading is a valuable resource for teacher trainers, practicing teachers, materials writers and researchers.
William Grabe is Professor of English and Chair of the English Department at Northern Arizona University. He is currently President of the American Association for Applied Linguistics.
Fredricka L. Stoller is Associate Professor of English at Northern Arizona University. She has coauthored two reading textbooks, developed reading curricula, and written teacher-training articles on reading instruction.

Teaching and Researching Reading,
By
This review is from: Teaching and Researching Reading (Applied Linguistics in Action) (Paperback)
This is truly an eclectic book, which offers a socially-aligned understanding of the key issues that play out in reading research. For a long time now, researching into reading, especially second language reading, has been viewed as a psycholinguistic objectivity of inputs and outputs. Consequently, research agendas have neither factored readers' agency or voice into their methodologies and conceptualizations. In light of this, the book offers a healthy alternative by alerting to the asocial and acontextual aspects that characterize our understanding of L2 reading and how to neutralize it with a more socially-empowering and enriching understanding of issues in reading research. A "must-read book" for all those engaged in reading research.

This review is from: Teaching and Researching Reading (Applied Linguistics in Action) (Paperback)
This book is great to see research into this subject, and a great example of how to write a book on you rresearch, but it's not an easy read, and difficult to understand, if you don't do research.
