Abstraksi Narasi	:	A mong number of professionals in the field of second language acquisition, there appears to be an increasing conviction that the first language (L1) has a necessary and facilitating role in the second and foreign language (L2) classroom. In my case, this conviction comes from personal experience, recent literature I have read, and presentations I have attended. This position may seem heretical in light of what most of us were taught when trained as ESL/EFL professionals, but I believe it is worthy of serious consideration.

Abstraksi Narasi	:	Anyone who has ever taught English as a second or foreign language is aware of the immensity of the task. In fact, it is no longer deemed sufficient yo teach the nuts and bolts of language--gramatical competence. Also important are sociolinguistic competence, the ability to produce and understand the appropriate remark at the appropriate time; discourse competence, the ability to produce a unified, coherent text in a given genre; and strategic competence, knowledge of how to repair, maintain, enhance, or facilitate communication. The focus of this article is sociolinguistic competence, particularly language variability and how teachers often deal with it.

Abstraksi Narasi	:	To many second language readers, reading is a suffocatingly slow process; yet developing rapid reading, an essential skill for all students, is often neglected in the classroom. Data from Segalowitz, Poulsen, and Komoda (1991: 15) indicate that the second language (L2) reading rates of highly bilingual readers are "30% or more slower than L1 reading rates.`` These data are also supported by Weber (1991), who points out that highly skilled bilinguals typically have a slower reading rate in a second language. Perkins and Pharis (1980) state that average ESL readers are well below average native English speakers in reading ability. Jensen (1986: 106) indicates that "at the end of a reading course, even advanced ESL students may read only 100 words perminute or less.`` The purpose of this article is to discuss classroom activities that increase reading speed. These activities are designed to increase L2 learners` reading rates to a satisfactory level, so that students are successful in academic reading tasks.
