Reading micro skills. Does gender make a difference?

      Аннотация: Reading is probably the most important skill in academic settings, especially in foreign language learning contexts. Today, reading is believed to be not just one skill, but a combination of several micro-skills. Due to the multitude of sub-skills involved, the teaching of reading has been a long standing concern of many teachers and practitioners. At the same time, a number of factors are believed to influence the use of the different micro-skills. This book focuses on the investigation of gender differences in the use of reading micro-skills. It offers a rich review of the related literature, followed by the empirical analysis of the issue. The reading of this book is suggested to foreign and second language teachers, learners, and researchers.
