Theoretical and Pedagogical Issues in ESL/EFL Teaching of Strategic Reading

Abstract

This paper discusses the theoretical and pedagogical issues in second language reading comprehension and instruction. The primary aim of this paper is to provide a solid overview of second language strategic reading in the context of English as a second (ESL) or foreign language (EFL). The theoretical issues discussed include research on the nature of automatic versus strategic reading, metacognition or strategic competence and human information processing. The pedagogical issues include a discussion of previous research on strategic reading instruction and a proposal of three models of strategic reading instruction that promote strategic reading competence and learning strategies.
