다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The reading ability is developed through reading activities which guide to reading practices. The activity-based reading education has strengths in the next four aspects. First, it can incorporate reading knowledge, skills, and strategies. Second, it can overcome the discreteness of skill-based reading by having learners carry out integrated reading. Third, it can overcome the de-context of skill-based reading. Fourth, it can provide learners with experiencing processes. The desirable orientation of the activity-based reading education is discussed in relation with reading in reality. Traditionally, reading has been recognized as a basic skill. Yet, this understanding of reading fails to incorporate the whole process of reading processes. In contrast, this study suggests that reading should be recognized in the perspective of its process, the active role of readers, and meaning construction. The reading education thus should be able to realize activity-based reading process, to develop readers as active agents of language behavior, and to strive to construct meanings.
