Reviews for Teaching Extensive Reading in Another Language

""Teaching Extensive Reading in Another Language is an invaluable addition to ER literature. While making readers aware of the complementary relationship between vocabulary learning from ER and deliberate vocabulary learning, the authors assert that ER is possibly the best remedy to problematic L2 curricula. Such a claim is assuredly justified by research and empirical findings. This book also makes ER accessible to practitioners by providing examples of ER practice, while simultaneously encouraging researchers to advance ER research by outlining methodological pitfalls. This volume can, therefore, be considered as a source of inspiration for existing and future ER proponents."" —Mitsue Tabata-Sandom, Reading in a Foreign Language 32(1)
