A free E-book copy will be made available to the reviewer of the books listed above. The call is

About Reviews
You are invited to review books not listed here as well, as long as they are related to reading in
a foreign language. Should you choose to review a book on L1 reading you ought to emphasize
how the research presented therein is relevant to foreign language reading. You can also review
books published in your own countries, and not necessarily in English, as long as your review is
written in English. A précis in the language in which the book is written may accompany the full
English-language review. In fact, we are open to reviews of books from all over the world in
order to follow and popularize current research on foreign language reading.
The reviews section of Reading in a Foreign Language generally accepts three types of books:
• academic publications, research reports, etc. for example, on the psychological processes
involved in reading, vocabulary retention, cross-linguistic interaction in reading, etc.
• resources for teachers: books written from a more practical angle, for example, on how to
design reading activities, how to choose reading materials, how to motivate learners to read,
etc.
• resources for learners, especially textbooks developing reading skills, for example, preparing
learners for the reading component of language exams, such as the CPE exam in English.
The guidelines for writing a review are available here:
https://nflrc.hawaii.edu/rfl/submission-guidelines/#reviews
As Reading in a Foreign Language has switched to a continuous publishing mode, there are no
specific deadlines.
Contact Teresa Maria Wlosowicz melomane.plurilingue@gmail.com if you are interested in
having material reviewed as a publisher or as an author, or if you wish to serve as a reviewer.
Please visit https://opensubmissions.org/index.php/rfl to submit your manuscripts.
Call for Contributors “Readings on L2 Reading” Annual Column
Reading in a Foreign Language is seeking contributors for the “Readings on L2 Reading” annual column. This annual feature offers an archive of articles published in other venues during the past year and serves as a valuable tool to readers of Reading in a Foreign Language. This is an excellent opportunity to provide service to the profession while reviewing the latest research in the field of second and foreign language reading. All interested researchers are encouraged to apply, especially graduate students and early career researchers.
