Preface
This volume represents the history and development of comprehension as a second-language instructional strategy. Research findings from the disciplines of psychology, psycholinguistics, child language learning, and second-language comprehension instruction are summarized. Proposals for the implementation of comprehension instructional strategies in the teaching of a second language are presented. Over the 50 years, beginning in 1970, that we undertook to study and apply comprehension strategies in the teaching of a second language, a large number of talented language scholars, teachers, artists, audio programmers, computer specialists, manuscript readers, and consultants were involved. I am especially indebted to James Reeds and Paul García for their early and important contributions. Additionally without the contribution of the following participants the study and implementation of comprehension strategies in second-language acquisition would not have been possible. They are David Alcindor, Bernard Arnold, James Asher, James Carroll, Cornelia Ayers, Michael Beatty, John Bennetts, Werner Bleyhl, Natalie Brun, Laurence Conventry, Hernán Díaz, Re
