A Content Analysis of Reading Methods Texts: What Are We Told about the Nonnative Speaker of English?

Bernhardt, Elizabeth B.

Journal of Reading Behavior, v26 n2 p159-89 1994

Focuses on how second-language children are portrayed in reading and language arts methods textbooks and in practice-oriented reading and language arts journals. Suggests that, although teachers probably have had some contact with issues in second-language reading, professional writings do not provide a thorough discussion of second-language learners that reflects the current knowledge base.
