Description
This book guides language teachers in planning and teaching activities that promote the development of reading and writing skills at all levels of target language proficiency, for teachers of 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, assessments, syllabi, with concrete samples of lesson plans, and versatile strategies to promote the development of reading and writing applicable to various language learning contexts. The author shares reflections of his own and encourages readers to reflect on their own experiences and become aware of their existing mental constructs through multiple reflection tasks and discussion questions.
Each chapter provides focusing questions. The systematic chapter structure scaffolds the readers' understanding of the concepts explored, which include multimodality, materials evaluation, top-down/bottom-up strategies, needs analysis, AI tools for language teachers, and much more.
