In 2002, this series was launched with its first volume, ""Literacy and the Second Language Learner"", which contained many noteworthy research studies in the learning and teaching of second language reading. The selection of this theme for the series' entry on the scene is one demonstration of the importance of the topic of second language reading. Because reading plays a key role in the act of acquiring new knowledge, it is important to understand this complex process. The series again explores this multifaceted and fruitful area of inquiry in this, its seventh volume. In recent years, an explosion of work that strives to create a more complete understanding of second language reading has occurred and researchers today are making gains in fitting together a model of second language reading. This current volume brings together a range of high quality analyses of adult foreign language reading. It provides important research findings that will assist foreign language readers and those who support their efforts.
