Reading, Writing, and Authority: Issues in Developmental ESL.

Blanton, Linda Lonon

College ESL, v2 n1 p11-17 May 1992

Explores how the developmental needs of college English-as-a-Second-Language students can be met by placing them in a position of authority in relation to their reading texts, through activities that focus on the reader and the transactional nature of reading, which subsequently empower the reader and disempower the text.
