FROM THE CRITICS

Booknews

Assuming that textbooks are necessary for learning content for middle and secondary school students, this text for teachers explores methods of understanding and teaching language comprehension. The authors treat reading, speaking, and writing holistically in their discussions of such topics as student and textbook assessment, favorable learning environment creation, the role of prior knowledge, how students learn, vocabulary and conceptual growth, effective study strategies, and other issues.
