Two-Day Workshop: Exploring Universals in the Reading Process from a Psycho-Sociolinguistic, Transactional Perspective: Applications Across Chinese, Japanese and Korean
June 2-3, 2009

This 2-day workshop will focus upon the reading process and comprehension of written texts in English, Chinese, Japanese, and Korean from a psycho-sociolinguistic, transactional point of view. Day 1 will be focused upon drawing out general principles of literacy learning from a well-known theoretical model of reading developed initially for English speakers; it will benefit instructors of all languages. In Day 2, through keynote presentations, small group discussion, and poster displays, workshop participants will engage with other K-16 language researcher/educators in exploring the development of L1 and L2 literacy in several major Asian language groups and the influence of differing linguistic structures, orthographies, rhetorical organization and culture upon the reading process. Workshop products will include a manual of reading strategy lessons; a bibliography of written materials, websites and other resources that can be used in the teaching of reading of Chinese, Japanese, and Korean.
