| Abstract | To many second language readers, reading is a suffocatingly slow process; yet developing rapid reading, an essential skill for all students, is often neglected in the classroom. Data from Segalowitz, Poulsen, and Komoda (1991:15) indicate that the second language (L2) reading rates of highly bilingual readers are "30% or more slower than L1 reading rates." These data are supported by Weber (1991), who points out that highly skilled typically have a slower reading rate in a second language. Perkins and Pharis (1980) state that average ESL readers are well below average native English speakers in reading ability. Jensen (1986:106) indicates that "at the end of a reading course, even advanced ESL students may read only 100 words per minute or less." The purpose of the article is to discuss classroom activities that increase reading speed. These activities are designed to increase L2 learners' reading rates to a satisfactory level, so that students are successful in academic reading tasks. (Verlag). |
