Okayama JALT:

Rethinking the Relationship Between Vocabulary and Reading

Date: Saturday, December 15th, 2007 Time: 3:00 PM - 5:00 PM

Speaker: Rob Waring, Notre Dame Seishin University

Description:
This presentation will first review the relationship between the rate of acquisition of vocabulary from reading, by looking at major research from the last 20 years. Recent research shows that acquisition rates may be exaggerated and are far more complex than previously thought. The implications of this new data will be presented in relation to how it affects the amount and type of reading that should be done.

There will be a bonenkai party afterward
