Back Cover Applied Linguistics and Language Study Series General Editor: Christopher N. Candlin, Christopher N. Candlin, Chair Professor of Applied Linguistics, City University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong. Since it was first established in the 1970s the Applied Linguistics and Language Study series has become a major force in the study of practical problems in human communication and language education. Drawing extensively on empirical research and theoretical work in linguistics, sociology, psychology and education, the series explores key issues in language acquisition and language use. Reading in a Second Language sets the testing and teaching of reading against a theoretical background, discussing research from both applied linguistics and cognitive psychology. Where possible, it focuses on research into second language readers and distinguishes different kinds of reading, particularly expeditious as opposed to careful reading, and emphasizes the validity of each. Sandy Urquhart and Cyril Weir relate testing and teaching, discussing similarities and differences, providing a comprehensive survey of both methods with the emphasis on those which have been substantiated or supported by research evidence. Finally, the book proposes specific research topics, and detailed advice on how to construct tests of language for academic purposes and suggestions for further research. The book is intended for teachers, testers, advanced students and researchers into reading in a second language and will also be useful to teacher trainers, inservice trainees, experienced teachers and textbook writers.
