ABSTRACT
This chapter discusses strategies for L2 reading and writing. These strategies unlock doors to academic learning and to major aspects of human communication. L2 teachers and researchers now recognize that reading is an active process, rather than a merely “receptive” skill, that reading and writing are closely tied together, and that learners need strategies for L2 reading and writing. Learners should be encouraged to read and write in order to enhance L2 development in general, and strategies relevant to reading and writing should be taught explicitly (Anderson, 2012; Ferris, 2012).
