Anglistik und Amerikanistik at the University of Vienna. His publications

Language Testing, and Language and Culture.
◆Presentation
Abstract:
This talk is about how written texts are processed and what that indicates about
their use in the teaching of English. Although there is plenty of evidence that
language users interpret what they read in diverse ways, and make their own
meaning by sampling the language selectively, the idea appears to persist that
there is a real or complete meaning contained in text which can be discovered by
focusing attention on its linguistic features. I suggest that meaning does not
reside encoded in text but is always derived from it, and that what is derived
will always be partial and to a considerable extent depend on particular
pretextual conditions? what purposes and assumptions people bring to their
reading and how they position themselves as readers. There are implications here
for what written texts should be presented in class, on what criteria they
should be selected, or specially designed, and what kind of activities they
should be associated with to make them effective for learning.
