The Effects of Pleasure Reading.

Constantino, Rebecca

Mosaic: A Journal for Language Teachers, v3 n1 p15-17 Fall 1995

Supports Krashen's theory on the benefits of free voluntary reading and the impact pleasure reading makes on results of the Teaching of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) test. The improved TOEFL scores indicate a measurable and viable result of reading for pleasure as well as an intangible attitudinal change on the part of the students. (10 references) (Author/CK)
