The Effect of Task-Based Activities on EFL Learners' Reading Comprehension
Nahavandi, Naemeh
Advances in Language and Literary Studies, v2 n1 p56-69 Jan 2011

Reading classes seem boring for students who find no occasion to show their ability and no need to challenge their brain to answer teachers' display questions.
