Reading in EFL: Facts and Fictions.
Paran, Amos
ELT Journal, v50 n1 p25-34 Jan 1996
Examines the representation of the reading process in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) texts. The article argues that many of these representations are dated and based on a theory that was never a mainstream theory of first-language reading. Suggestions for exercises to strengthen automatic word recognition in EFL readers are provided. (33 references) (Author/CK)
