Do you think that taking their own vocabulary tests helps students learn the words? This reflective question and many others await your discussion and analysis in this revised edition of TESOL Press’s best-selling Teaching Reading, which explores different approaches to teaching reading in second language classrooms. This volume contains five new Intensive Reading, Comprehension Activities, Reading and Vocabulary, Selecting a Reading Textbook, and Assessing Reading. The author has also included a new, detailed lesson plan. As in the previous edition, the goal of this book is to engage teachers in reflection on how reading may be most effectively taught to ESOL learners.

This lively collection of more than 100 classroom activities provides teachers with engaging ways to incorporate extensive reading into their classrooms. The creative and fun speaking, listening, role-play, reading, writing, and vocabulary activities, all linking reading to the rest of the curriculum, are suitable for students of all ages and levels. Teachers will find this handbook a valuable resource not just for reading courses, but for all types of language courses.

Extensive reading is presented as a crucial method for developing reading skills in this engaging book. The author argues that immersing oneself in a variety of texts not only enhances comprehension but also fosters a love for reading. Through practical insights and compelling arguments, the book highlights the benefits of reading widely, suggesting that it is an indispensable practice for effective learning and literacy development.
