NCELTR Logo Navigating to read – reading to navigate.

Edited by Denise E Murray and Pamela McPherson.

This is the second volume in the Teaching in Action series. The aim of the series is to present research-based activities that classroom teachers have developed and trialled in the classroom, reflecting their experience and points of view. The first section of the book provides theoretical perspectives and a brief discussion of research findings, while the second section is practically oriented and illustrates the insights, materials and strategies explored by teachers in their research.

Navigating to read – reading to navigate demonstrates the scaffolded activities developed by teachers across Australia to help learners read and navigate the Web.
The research for this book highlighted two distinct, but interrelated reading activities learners need to engage in to use the Web: reading webpages to find their way around a website, and navigating webpages in order to find and read information to achieve some other language learning goal. Chapters include sample materials. The final chapter summarises the outcomes of the study and raises further issues for exploration.
