Webinar Objectives
•Provide examples of bottom-up, top-down, and interactive strategies for teaching L2 reading.
•Provide practical methodology and approaches to teaching bottom-up strategies in L2 reading.
•Offer rationale for the role of students’ phonemic awareness.
•Offer rationale for the use of explicit, systematic bottom-up strategies instruction.

Models of Reading
![Page 12: An Interactive Approach to Teaching L2 Reading: From the Bottom-Up Heidi Hyte Brigham Young University heidi_hyte@byu.edu heidi@readinghorizons.com.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062417/551c0d35550346a84f8b5223/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Bottom-up Processing
Reader builds meaning from the
smallest units of meaning to
achieve comprehension.
Example
letters letter clusters words phrases
sentences longer text meaning =
comprehension
![Page 13: An Interactive Approach to Teaching L2 Reading: From the Bottom-Up Heidi Hyte Brigham Young University heidi_hyte@byu.edu heidi@readinghorizons.com.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062417/551c0d35550346a84f8b5223/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Top-down Processing
Reader generates meaning by employing background knowledge,
expectations, assumptions, and questions, and reads to confirm these
expectations.
Example
Pre-reading activities (i.e. activating schema, previewing, and predicting) + background
knowledge (cultural, linguistic, syntactic, and historical) = comprehension

language classrooms. New York: Cambridge University Press.
![Page 14: An Interactive Approach to Teaching L2 Reading: From the Bottom-Up Heidi Hyte Brigham Young University heidi_hyte@byu.edu heidi@readinghorizons.com.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062417/551c0d35550346a84f8b5223/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Interactive Approach
Reader uses both bottom-up and
top-down strategies
simultaneously or alternately to
comprehend the text.
Example
Reader uses top-down strategies until he/she
encounters an unfamiliar word, then employs
decoding skills to achieve comprehension.
Aebersold, J. & Field, M. L., (1997). From reader to reading teacher: Issues and strategies for second
language classrooms. New York: Cambridge University Press.

Knowledge base + bottom-up
strategies + top-down strategies =
comprehension

Which model should be
adopted?
The reader must be competent
in both bottom-up and
top-down processing.

Step 1: Read the title. Predict what the text is going to be about.
Step 2: Ask questions:
- What is your purpose for reading this text?
- What type of text is this? (A newspaper article? A letter? A textbook? A poem?)
- What is a “Jabberwocky”?
Step 3: Activate background knowledge: What do you know about Lewis Carroll’s style of writing?

can proceed effortlessly, quickly, and unconsciously” (53).

The role of phonemic
awarenessWhy is it important for
ESL/EFL readers?“Phonemic awareness is an important precursor for alphabetic reading, but
paradoxically people often acquire it as a result of learning to read an alphabet” (54).

The role of phonemic
awareness
•Readers who have it are better readers.
•Readers are able to connect sounds with symbols.
•Readers can attach meaning to sounds.
•If readers can associate the sounds of words when learning the meaning of new vocabulary, it sticks better.

Application: Now What?
1) First provide explicit instruction in bottom-
up/decoding strategies, then allow
opportunities to practice bottom-up
strategies in extensive reading materials.

Application: Now What?
2) Use shorter passages to teach intensive
reading skills and longer texts to apply top-
down strategies.

Application: Now What?
3) Select materials for both intensive (teaching explicit strategies) and extensive (application of strategies) purposes. One single text generally cannot meet both needs.

Application: Now What?
4) When teaching new vocabulary, provide explicit decoding strategies to enable learners to develop phonemic awareness.- rhyming games (mat pat)
- manipulation of beginning, middle, and end of words (mat pat pet pen)

Self Reflection
Take a moment to ponder the answers to the questions on the following slide. As you answer these questions, think of your students’ needs. What kind of strategies do you need to equip your students with in order to help them achieve the goal of comprehension?

Why bottom-up?
“Despite the emergence of interactive models, I am concerned that much of the second language reading literature continues to exhibit a strongly top-down bias… This research has resulted in many useful insights, but the lack of attention to decoding problems has, I think, produced a somewhat distorted picture of the true range of problems second language readers face” (95).

Why bottom-up?“In practical terms, my concern is thus to keep the language in the teaching of second language reading. That may not sound very controversial, but I think that in promoting higher-level strategies--like predicting from context or the use of schemata and other kinds of background knowledge--some researchers have been sending a message to teachers that the teaching of reading to second language readers is mostly just a mater of providing them with the right background knowledge for any texts they must read, and encouraging them to make full use of that knowledge in decoding those texts. Though that is certainly important, it is also, I think, potentially misleading as a total approach…We must not, I believe, lose sight of the fact that language is a major problem in second language reading, and that even educated guessing at meaning is not a substitute for accurate decoding” (97).

What’s your opinion?
“[The introduction of top-down processing]
has had such a profound impact [on second
language reading] that there has been a
tendency to view the introduction of a strong
top-down processing perspective as a
substitute for the bottom-up, decoding view
of reading, rather than its complement” (3-
