Abstract

Reading is perhaps one of the areas in language learning/teaching (the first as well as the second language – L1/L2) that have received a lot of attention in recent years and much light has been thrown on what reading is, what different kinds of reading processes are, and what their implications are for language teaching – particularly in foreign/ second language (FL/SL) teaching classrooms.
