| Description: | By definition, beginning foreign language learner-readers lack linguistic knowledge and/or cultural knowledge inherently assumed in foreign language literary texts. Such gaps in information may result in possible "mismatches" between the interaction between beginning learner-readers' linguistic knowledge of Spanish, their Hispanic cultural knowledge, and the linguistic and cultural knowledge assumed in a Spanish-language literary text. To preclude problems of comprehension problems, a strategic orientation to the development of reading tasks can enhance the interaction of beginning learner-readers with Spanish-language literary texts. |
