Been, Sheila – TESOL Quarterly, 1975
A "reading gap" exists in Israel in teaching of intermediate-level English. Reading aloud, focusing on new words and on literal comprehension questions may conflict with the goal of reading for meaning. A dual approach is proposed and demonstrated to achieve reading for language and for meaning. Sample mini-units are included. (CHK)
