Abstract :
Reading at a reasonable speed, or reading fluently, is an important goal for second language learners. The seminar shows the nature of speed reading, how to run a speed reading course, and how to help their learners increase their reading speed.
"As an English learner for 30 years, an English teacher/instructor for 18 years and as a PhD candidate, I have been following Stephen Krashen's videos etc esp on the importance of Reading, and very very very luckily just today when I googled Stephen Krashen again, on the right handside I saw some other names one of whom was Paul Nation whose name I definitely remember from many articles. I said "let me go through Paul Nation,too". Oh my God, Oh my God.; an unbelievable man.; Oh God, take him to your paradise/heavens pls.; he has already deserved it. What a prolific, hardworking and generous professor. I salute you sir.. in my culture we kiss the hands of our elderly and respected people.. if u allow me, I would like to kiss your hands. I thank you so much from the bottom of my heart. May God/Allah bless you.. May He protect you and your beloved ones from any trouble here and in the after life. I wish I could contribute to our ELT world as much as a drop of your ocean. You are an ocean sir. Thank you."
Just great principles, so underrated!
Your published book very good xnd umderstand❤❤❤❤
What happens to reading speed in languages that use a syllable-based writing system and also have quite long words (as is the cases in many polysynthetic languages, for example) which very commonly have words that are seven to eleven (or more) syllables in length? Does it still max out at around 300 wpm, or is that only for languages that aren’t polysynthetic?
What is the book he is talking about min: 9.00??
I'll save you 41:47 of your life. If you are learning a foreign language, make reading a part of your study program, and don't read things that are too difficult for you. OK, go outside and play now.

But the 25% and 12% time breakdown was new for me. But thanks
