Resumo: | Successful reading comprehension in L2 involves both lower and higher level processes, being dependant on both strategies and skills. These two components are often treated interchangeably or inconsistently in the literature and such inconsistency may affect the teaching of reading. In light of the above, this paper aims at analysing how strategies and skills are developed in a series of ESL textbooks. In order to do so, a framework was developed to classify the activities as sustaining reading strategies or reading skills. A quantitative analysis was also carried out in order to better understand the frequency each construct occurred in the textbooks. The results showed that strategies and skills are used interchangeably in the series. Furthermore, strategies outnumbered skills, no linearity was found between them, that is, there seemed to be no longitudinal process of working with strategies in a way to enable them to become skills in order to foster independent readers. |

Esses dois conceitos são normalmente utilizados de forma intercambiável entre si e tratados de forma inconsistente na literatura, sendo que tal inconsistência pode vir a afetar o ensino de leitura. Com base nesse fato, esse artigo tem o objetivo de analisar como estratégias e habilidades são desenvolvidas em uma série de livros de inglês como segunda língua. Para alcançar tal objetivo, um framework foi desenvolvido para classificar as atividades que fomentam ´estratégias´ ou ´habilidades´ de leitura. Com o intuito de estabelecer a frequência de cada um desses conceitos na série de livros uma análise quantitativa foi realizada. Os resultados apontam que os conceitos de estratégias e habilidades são utilizados de forma intercambiável na série. Também, a presença de estratégias foi mais frequente do que habilidades e não há uma sequência linear entre esses dois conceitos, isto é, parece não haver um processo longitudinal de forma a trabalhar estratégias para que elas se tornem habilidades a fim de desenvolver leitores independentes.Programa de Pós-Graduação em Linguística Aplicada2017-12-29info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.unb.br/index.php/horizontesla/article/view/1993910.26512/rhla.v16i2.19939Revista Horizontes de Linguistica Aplicada; Vol. 16 No. 2 (2017)Revista Horizontes de Linguistica Aplicada; v. 16 n. 2 (2017)2237-09511677-9770reponame:Revista Horizontes de Linguística Aplicadainstname:Universidade de Brasília (UnB)instacron:UNBporhttps://periodicos.unb.br/index.php/horizontesla/article/view/19939/18375Zaccaron, RafaelDall’Igna, CarllaTomitch, Lêda Maria Bragainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2019-07-17T03:32:47Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/19939Revistahttps://periodicos.unb.br/index.php/horizontesla/indexPUBhttps://periodicos.unb.br/index.php/horizontesla/oaihorizontesla@gmail.com2237-09511677-9770opendoar:2023-01-13T09:49:24.619648Revista Horizontes de Linguística Aplicada - Universidade de Brasília (UnB)false |

Successful reading comprehension in L2 involves both lower and higher level processes, being dependant on both strategies and skills. These two components are often treated interchangeably or inconsistently in the literature and such inconsistency may affect the teaching of reading. In light of the above, this paper aims at analysing how strategies and skills are developed in a series of ESL textbooks. In order to do so, a framework was developed to classify the activities as sustaining reading strategies or reading skills. A quantitative analysis was also carried out in order to better understand the frequency each construct occurred in the textbooks. The results showed that strategies and skills are used interchangeably in the series. Furthermore, strategies outnumbered skills, no linearity was found between them, that is, there seemed to be no longitudinal process of working with strategies in a way to enable them to become skills in order to foster independent readers. |
