    Chapter 9 – Reading

    1. How does reading differ from listening?


    2. Define top down and bottom up processing
    approaches to reading. How do each contribute to
    the understanding of a text?
    3. Why can we say that “reading is an interactive
    process”?
    4. How does the schema theory help us understand
    the nature of the reading process?
    5. “Those who are good readers in their L1 will easily
    transfer these skills to a L2”. Does the text support
    or contradict this statement?
    6. What problem can a teacher of English encounter
    when presenting a text on Hallowe’en or
    Thanksgiving to our students? And a text on
    Christmas to Spanish speaking wichi students?
    7. Relate the language skills/strategies on page 265
    to top down and bottom up processing.
