I appreciate all of your reflections on the two texts we covered thus far. Collectively they showed a genuine effort to understand and a keen insight into the issues raised by both authors--I couldn't think of a better group to enlighten me with the many classroom realities many of you are facing at different levels of instruction and settings. Still, I hope you'll want to try out some of the ideas suggested by the books and integrate ER in your future classroom.
Beginning this week, we will move on to our next reading on Grabe's book on reading in L2: from theory to practice. As this is a theory-oriented text with heavy references to research and existing literature, we will focus our discussion on questions you have of each assigned reading to form the -talking points- of our weekly session. Again post your questions/inquiries under the designated heading.
