Reading Habits at a Third World Technological University.

Smithies, Michael

Reading in a Foreign Language, v1 n2 p111-18 Oct 1983

A study of student reading habits at a Papua New Guinea university revealed that students read little professional material unless they were to be tested on it. Preferred reading materials were comics and fiction. Encouragement of reading habits in a country with only a recent written tradition is recommended. (MSE)
