| Summary: | The interest in academic literacy research has led many second language
literacy researchers to overlook other types of literacy practices that L2 learners
engaged in beyond the classrooms. Literacy practices such as reading and writing are
closely related (Badariah, Yah & Nor Adeena, 2011) and the undergraduates who do
not read in their free time faced problems when they write assignments and thus
perform poorly in tests. These reluctant readers (Ambigapathy, 2000) found themselves
not only unable to cope with rigorous academic demands at the university level, but
also in situations beyond the school. |
