Nagoya JALT:

Vocabulary and Grammar as Foundations for Reading Instruction

Date: Sunday, November 17th, 2002 Time: 1:30 PM - 4:30 PM

Speaker: Dr. William Grabe, Northern Arizona University

Description:
In discussions of reading research and its implications for instruction, the roles of vocabulary and grammar are often minimized. William Grabe leads a workshop that highlights the importance of these two neglected areas, and explores ways that they can be taught usefully in support of reading skills development. Example texts will then be examined to give practical consideration to various options and opportunities.
About the speaker:William Grabe is Professor of English and Chair of the English Department at Northern Arizona University. He is also the author of The Theory and Practice of Writing (with R.B. Kaplan, 1996) and the soon-to-be-published volume in the Longman series of Applied Linguistics in Action entitled Reading (with Fredricka Stoller), and a leading researcher in issues of L2 reading, writing, and literacy. He is currently the president of the American Association of Applied Linguistics and was, until recently, the chief editor of the Annual Review of Applied Linguistics.
