A Study into the Feasibility and Effects of Reading Extended Authentic Discourse in the Beginning German Language Classroom.
Maxim, Hiram H., II
Modern Language Journal, v86 n1 p20-35 Spr 2002
Discusses the design, results, and implications from a study involving beginning college-level language students who read a 142-page romance novel in their first semester of German. A treatment group followed the same standard first-semester syllabus as the comparison group, but replaced all standard reading assignments in the textbook with daily in-class readings of the romance novel. Effects of the treatment were assessed. (Author/VWL)
