READING
 Reading was assumed   as a passive, receptive process that had no place in,L2 teaching.

 now we believe it as an interactive, constructive and contextualized process

     there are three views in reading, those are : environmentalists , innatist and interactions.

 environmentalists assumed reading as a process for decoding symbols to sound before understanding the author's intended meaning, this time error in reading was strongly prevented and there were some method of sound-out or look and say.

 but in 1960s Chomsky came with his challenging by behaviourisms and refused assuming reading as a passive process, he proposed the importance of background knowledge in reading and the relationship between learning language and learning reading.

Then Smith believed that reading doesn't need teaching and it needs only practicing.

Karshen and Goodman claimed in driving meaning from the text, guess meaning according to our background.

Interactionist belied in schema theory and what goes to our memory while reading.

the role of culture in schema and background is distinguished more.

we have three kinds of reading: scanning, skimming, intensive and extensive reading

<p class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops:7.1pt"><span lang="EN-CA" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-CA">but some people believe that's better to try to predict meaning and not refer to the source of words.
