Huong-- Seems like an empirical question about how to arrange for
L2 learning in an optimal way. You think that reading will engender
more and different kinds of talk and have a positive effect? Could
be, depending upon lots of factors. My guess is that reading textbooks
about a language as less efficacious than being immersed in face to
face, goal-oriented, joint activty were the oral mode is dominant.
Perhaps I am wrong.
Lets see if others have any opinion on the issue.
