Synopsis

Reading and language learning are interdependent. While reading necessitates linguistic knowledge, reading ability enhances linguistic knowledge expansion. This volume explores the reciprocal relationship between reading and language learning.

• Explores how reading and language learning are interrelated, bringing new insights to discussions on the
  unique nature of reading development in a second language


• Covers topics including cross-linguistic constraints on second-language reading development, bilingualism
  and literacy, linguistic resources and reading strategies, incidental vocabulary acquisition through reading,
  local language processing and global text comprehension, and cross-linguistic effects on word identification


• Views second-language reading as a multi-faceted and multi-lingual construct


• Examines a variety of reading sub-skills, ranging from word identification to discourse comprehension.
