Presenter: Roberta Welch

Language: English

Time: 2:15 to 2:40

"Individualized Long-term L2 Reading" is a poster presentation that outlines some factors that keep a learner of Japanese as a second language (JSL) motivated to continue reading. Frequent browsing of bookstores and libraries enables the reader to find reading materials at a suitable language level.

Incorporating L2 reading into the reader's daily routine is a key point. A web site facilitates online record-keeping. Reflective writing for the site leads to a variety of discoveries concerning L2 reading. Inspiring books encourage the reader to read even more.
