This book offers some insights into second language instructional ideas, which ideas insofar have yet been implemented in the Malaysian context. Two new instructional methods for second language teaching are introduced in this book as a launching point for their possible implementation in second language classrooms. The first instructional method is Questioning the Author (QtA) text-based discussion method for reading comprehension instruction. The second instructional method is the Presentation-Attention-Co-construction-Extension (PACE) method for the teaching of grammar. The suggested procedure for the implementation of these methods also includes how these methods can be carried out with adaptation in second language classrooms.
