摘要：In comparison with other skills,reading is one of the most frequent activities that foreign language teachers use in higher education.This fact led to the development of a study intended to identify and examine teachers'views of reading as a multifunctional skill,providing students with the opportunity to improve their mastering of the target language.During such lessons,vocabulary can be enriched and activated,grammar structures are consolidated,near-to-life situations are recreated,and all these within a communicative framework that contributes to building up human interrelations.Starting from this assumption,our paper aims to evaluate teachers'opinions on the importance of teaching reading skills from modern and traditional perspectives.
