FORUM ON MOTIVATING STUDENTS TO READ<br />
Advocating reading to an anti-reading generation<br />
Baya Bensalah (Kasdi Merbah University, Ouargla, Algeria)<br />
This presentation outlines the case for the explicit teaching of reading to<br />
English majors. It reports on the results of an exploratory study conducted<br />
at an Algerian university. Starting from the ostensive-inferential model<br />
(Sperber and Wilson), I designed and piloted a reading syllabus. In the talk,<br />
I will share students' artifacts and discuss the model’s efficacy.<br />

Autonomous reading tasks: their influence on confidence and language<br />
skills<br />
Ilse Born-Lechleitner<br />
(Center for Business Languages & Intercultural<br />
Communication, Johannes Kepler University, Linz, Austria)<br />
This talk reviews the development and implementation of an autonomous<br />
reading task that is aimed at increasing students’ exposure to the<br />
language, engagement with reading and increase of their confidence as<br />
agents of their own learning. It will analyse the results of student<br />
questionnaires and outline the changes introduced after receiving student<br />
feedback.<br />
Self-regulated reading vs. critical reading: which one boosts reading<br />
motivation?<br />
Mona Khabiri (Islamic Azad University, Central Tehran Branch)<br />
Reading success is not merely determined by reading strategies. This talk<br />
discusses reading motivation's huge impact on the quantity and quality of<br />
reading comprehension and strategy use, especially for young adult<br />
learners. Which skill better promotes reading motivation; critical reading<br />
or self-regulated reading? Are 'transcending textual meaning' and<br />
'challenging attitudes and values' more motivating or focusing on 'reading<br />
objectives'?<br />
