Carrell, Patricia L.; Eisterhold, Joan C.

TESOL Quarterly, v17 n4 p553-73 Dec 1983

Discusses the important role of background knowledge in a psycholinguistic model of EFL/ESL reading and demonstrates the relevance of schema-theoretic views of reading to the teaching of reading to EFL/ESL students. Also discusses classroom implications of the schema-theoretic view and suggests techniques for bringing about reader-centered EFL/ESL reading. (EKN)
