TitleOnline Reading Strategies of Second Language Learners
BodyFrom: OELA Newsline

In the November 2003 issue of The Reading Matrix, Neil Anderson examines online reading strategies used by second language learners. He also examines the differences between the online reading strategies of ESL readers and those of English-as-a-foreign-language readers. Anderson presents the top twelve and bottom twelve reading strategies used by second language learners. In his study, Anderson did not find any significant differences between online reading strategies used by ESL and EFL students. Anderson states, “the only differences appear to be in problem solving strategies.” Anderson emphasizes that metacognitive online reading strategies play an important role for ESL and EFL readers.
