References in reading and writing needed
Dear All,
A colleague of mine is working on a publication on teaching foreign/second language reading and writing in the 21st century, and would highly appreciate it if you could share publications that you may have come across in these two areas. Please post any recommendations here or send them directly to me (mariam.attia@durham.ac.uk). Thank you.
There are two journals that publish papers on these areas: Reading & Writing Quarterly (http://www.tandfonline.com/toc/urwl20/current), and Reading and Writing (http://link.springer.com/journal/11145).
Thank you very much Lada, Khwan and Susan. I have alerted my colleague to this online space and to your responses, so she can pick up your messages and any new ones.
Mariam, hi. The topic is a bit too broad but hope this hepls:

Hi Mariam. I only know this online journal (free access) “Reading in a Foreign Language” (co-edited by Dr Richard Day at the University of Hawai’i, Manoa).

Hope this helps.
I’ll keep my eyes open Mariam. Can’t think of anything off the top of my head.
