Opis

This book focuses on the importance of top-down approach to teaching reading. In most reading textbooks the authors are interested in using post reading activities which are more useful for testing rather than teaching reading comprehension. Meanwhile concerning the role of background knowledge this book suggests schema theory based pre reading tasks as more effective means for activating background knowledge and enhancing reading comprehension.
