Horvilleur, Michael; Ruvalcaba, Hiram – English Teaching Forum, 2021

An adaptation of the traditional literary concept of close reading was developed for use in a largely multilingual classroom in which both first language (L1) and second language (L2) students were struggling to comprehend theoretical, lexically dense texts in English.
