Parry, Kate

TESOL Quarterly, v30 n4 p665-92 Win 1996

Examines the relationship between cultural membership and individual language learning behavior in the development of reading strategies, using Nigerian and Chinese students studying English as a Second Language as subjects. The article concludes that whereas the reading differences between these two groups derive different factors, cultural background is important. (76 references) (Author/CK)
