This book is a comprehensive, myth-debunking examination of how L1 features(orthographic system, phonology, morphology) can influence English L2 reading at the
"bottom" of the reading process. It provides a thorough but very
accessible linguistic/psycholinguistic examination of the lowest levels
of the reading process. It is both theoretical and practical.
Although the methodologies
and approaches taken in most ESL/EFL texts about reading are top-down
(cognition driven), and pay scant attention to the bottom of the
reading process, those detailed in this book are language driven. The
goal is to balance or supplement (not replace) top-down approaches and
methodologies with effective low-level options for teaching English reading. Core linguistic and psycholinguistic concepts are presented within the context of their application to teaching .
What existed before there was a subject known as English? How did
English eventually come about? Focusing specifically on Shakespeare's
role in the origins of the subject, Neil Rhodes addresses the evolution
of English from the early modern period up to the late eighteenth
century.
