    Why don't you give exact delivery time?

    Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

    Short description:

    What distinguishes this book is its broad, yet thorough, view of theory, process, and research on adult second-language reading, firmly anchored in a theory of second language reading ─ the concept of compensatory processing.

    Long description:

    What distinguishes this book is its broad, yet thorough, view of theory, process, and research on adult second-language reading. Offering extensive discussions of upper-register second-language texts (both expository and narrative) that adult second-language readers encounter daily across the globe, it also presents an assessment schema for second-language text comprehension as well as for the assessment of teaching.


     Understanding Advanced Second-Language Reading:





    • includes languages other than English in the discussion of second language reading

    • is firmly anchored in a theory of second language reading ─ the concept of compensatory processing

    • emphasizes the multi-dimensionality and dynamic nature of L2 reading development

    • focuses on comprehension of upper-register literary texts

    • balances theory and instructional practices.

    Filling the need for a coherent, theoretically consistent, and research-based portrait of how literate adolescents and adults comprehend, and learn to comprehend, at greater levels of sophistication and whether that ability can be enhanced by instruction, this is a must-have resource for reading and second-language researchers, students, and teachers.
