Description
This book guides language teachers through the planning and teaching of activities that promote the development of reading and writing skills - at all levels of target language proficiency, for any modern language. Grant Eckstein draws on his extensive experience as a language teacher, teacher educator, and language learner to interweave practical activities with the research and theory that support their use. He provides practical examples, activities, and materials with concrete samples of lesson plans, and versatile strategies to promote the development of reading and writing applicable to various language learning contexts. Reflection tasks and discussion questions encourage readers to reflect on their own experiences and become aware of their existing mental constructs..
Each chapter provides focusing questions, and the systematic chapter structure scaffolds the readers' understanding of the key concepts, including multimodality, materials evaluation, top-down/bottom-up strategies, needs analysis, AI tools for language teachers, and much more.
