reading in a foreign language
Free online journal | Thomas Bloor | March 17th, 2003
Some people may be interested in the following information I received recently. This journal was originally published by LSU Aston when John Swales was director; the original editors were Alexander (Sandy) Urquhart and the late Ray Williams.
'Reading in a Foreign Language' (A scholarly international refereed journal), founded in 1983, is now available online free.
This free access is sponsored by The National Foreign Language Resource Centre and the Department of Second Language Studies of the College of Languages, Linguistics and Literature, University of Hawaii.

The National Foreign Language Resource Center and the Department of Second Language Studies of the College of Languages, Linguistics and Literature, University of Hawai`i are pleased to announce their joint sponsorship of the online journal Reading in a Foreign Language, a scholarly international refereed journal founded in 1983 at the University of Aston, Birmingham, England. The journal moved to Hawai`i in 2002 under the co-editorship of Richard R. Day and Thom Hudson, and Reviews Editor Anne Burns, Macquarie University, Australia.
Reading in a Foreign Language has established itself as an excellent source for the latest developments in the field, both theoretical and pedagogic, including improving standards for foreign language reading.
This fully-refereed journal is published twice a year, in April and October. The editors seek manuscripts concerning both the practice and theory of learning to read and the teaching of reading in any foreign or second language. Reviews of scholarly books and teaching materials, conference reports, and discussions are also solicited. The language of the journal is English, but lexical citations of languages other than English are acceptable. From time to time, special issues are published on themes of relevance to our readers. Please see our submission guidelines for more information.
Although Reading in a Foreign Language is a free online journal, we would appreciate your support as a subscriber. This will assist us in continuing to obtain institutional support for the journal, keeping it free of charge. Please take a few minutes to visit our subscription page.
