Teaching and Researching: ReadingWilliam Grabe

Teaching and Researching Reading was originally designed to help language professionals grasp the complexity of reading as a cognitive and linguistic process. In this thoroughly revised second edition, the book strengthens the link between reading research, classroom practice, and teacher-led action research. It provides an updated overview of key theories and debates surrounding reading in both first and second language contexts.

Alongside detailed research discussions, Grabe and Stoller offer practical guidance for teachers and researchers. This includes evidence-based instructional strategies and a structured multi-step approach for conducting effective action research focused on reading development. The book also presents 29 adaptable projects for classroom use and a wide range of newly added or expanded resources suitable for professional development and instructional planning.

Learning support throughout the volume includes:

• Key concept highlights and a glossary of essential terminology

• Extracts that draw attention to central issues in the field

• Comprehensive resource lists, including journals, books, and websites

Fully updated, with many new examples of L1 and L2 research as well as a new chapter that connects research findings to practical classroom applications, this second edition of Teaching and Researching Reading is an invaluable reference for teacher educators, classroom teachers, materials developers, and academic researchers.
