READING STRATEGIES AND STRATEGIC READING IN CONTENT AND LANGUAGE INTEGRATED LEARNING
<p>Reading is an extremely important language skill both in educational process and out of it.<br />Unfortunately, in many foreign language classrooms, particularly in our country, the significance of this<br />skill is not completely recognized and the most attention is still paid to grammar. Namely, reading is often<br />seen as a mere capacity of decoding written language signs and the parallel processes of reading<br />comprehension and interpretation are not sufficiently addressed. The paper deals with the several issues,<br />such as significance of reading skills, the strategies needed for their development and the strategic role of<br />the reading skill in the environment of content and language integrated learning (CLIL). Most of the<br />contemporary research done in this field of the applied linguistics highlights the role of reading skills in<br />facilitating an easier acquisition of the content matter, which is one of the focuses of the CLIL approach<br />in general.</p>
