Sommaire:

This book offers a concise and comprehensive review of theories and practical guidelines on how to adopt a task-based approach to second language (L2) reading instruction. The various chapters within and across the book bridge the boundaries between L2 reading research and classroom practices. Each chapter provides concrete teaching suggestions based on the theories and research findings on task-based L2 reading. This book offers step-by-step guidelines on how to implement task-based L2 reading instruction, such as needs analysis, task design, text development, task management, and task-based reading assessment. In so doing, this book helps readers increase their awareness of the symbiotic relationship between L2 reading research and instruction, which helps overcome the discrepancies between theoretical and pedagogical approaches.

This book serves as a useful resource for researchers who aim to employ a task-based approach to L2 reading, undergraduate or postgraduate students who need to acquire basic knowledge on fundamental theories of L2 reading and the task-based approach, and in- or pre-service teachers who want to improve their teaching skills based on a robust understanding of relevant theories and research findings on task-based L2 reading....
