The end of reading

Coursebook writers should label texts not as READING but as TEXT

“ Don’t our students know how to read already? Have they never skimmed and scanned in their own language? Are they from Mars? “

We should be teaching the language of second language reading, not the skill of it Texts should not be used superficially (eg. for skimming and scanning purposes) but should be subject to intensive reading and close analysis, so that their potential as linguistic data is maximised

eliminating reading texts classroom boredom time is reduced coursebook length is slashed whole tracts of Amazon rainforest are spared

The movie was written and directed, and even partly filmed, by Sean Penn, who invested the project with some of the same testy singleness of purpose he has recently brought to his political activism, his reporting stints in Iran and Iraq, his jeep tour of Venezuela with Hugo Chávez. That Hollywood might not be too wild for a movie about a guy who slowly turns into a cadaver did not deter Mr Penn for an instant.
