コメント
Developing critical reading skills should be a priority for students: reading is the main channel that students acquire new knowledge, not only while studying in university but also after graduation, in their future careers and lives as citizens. As a teacher and researcher, I am interested in helping students improve their academic reading skills in a second language, and the most effective methods for researching and teaching second language reading. Because vocabulary knowledge plays such a vital role in reading comprehension, I am interested in researching the impact of vocabulary knowledge on comprehension. My research focuses on the effect of unfamiliar proper names on reading comprehension, and the types of knowledge that proper names entail, that is, lexical and world knowledge.
