Contrastive Rhetoric and Reading in a Second Language: Theoretical Perspectives on Classroom Practice.

Piper, David

Canadian Modern Language Review, v42 n1 p34-43 Oct 1985

Reviews literature on cross-cultural reading, interlanguage, and story grammar against the theory of contrastive rhetoric, and considers implications for teaching reading to advanced second language students. The conclusion is that comparative rhetoric demands levels of cultural sensitivity in teachers that transcend any one theory or approach. (MSE)
