January 2012's meeting was :

Insights into Reading Fluency in the EFL Classroom

Speakers: Adam Murray and Robert H. Tafener

Following Paul Nation’s research on extensive reading and speed reading for the development of reading fluency and accuracy,
this presentation demonstrated its application in the EFL classroom through an exploratory study focusing on first year
university students in Japan.

This presentation gave an update on current research in the field of L2 reading fluency, provided an opportunity to practice
speed-reading, and allowed for reflection on the application of and possible research into speed-reading in the classroom.
Participants were encouraged to come away from this presentation equipped to implement speed-reading with their own secondary or tertiary
level EFL students.

The meeting took place on Sunday 22nd January from 1.30 to 4.00
in room 543 (building Five at Aichi University's Toyohashi Campus).
