Reading in a Second Language sets the testing and teaching of
reading against a theoretical background, discussing research from
both applied linguistics and cognitive psychology. Where possible,
it focuses on research into second language readers and
distinguishes different kinds of reading, particularly expeditious
as opposed to careful reading, and emphasizes the validity of
each.Sandy Urquhart and Cyril Weir relate testing and teaching,
discussing similarities and differences, providing a comprehensive
survey of both methods with the emphasis on those which have been
substantiated or supported by research evidence. Finally, the book
proposes specific research topics, and detailed advice on how to
construct tests of language for academic purposes and suggestions
for further research.
