Extended reading in the second language class by Dr. Hassan bin Mohammed Al-Muassid Al-Shamrani

The book of extended reading in the second language class is the main reference in the literature of this type of reading in second language teaching, as it sets the theoretical framework for this skill, explains its characteristics, and links it to second language acquisition. It also clarifies the role of both the teacher and the student, and how to select reading materials. Jack Richard Z says in this book: "Although there are a number of useful books on teaching reading in the second or foreign language, this is the first book that pays particular attention to the nature of extended reading, and the development of its programs in teaching the foreign language and the second language." Despite the importance of extended reading in developing the second language, we notice that the Arab library is poor in this regard; this book is considered the first translated work in this field, and that was one of the motivations to translate its content and transfer it into Arabic.
