 note = {The General English course at Shinshu University has been implemented since April, 2006.
Reading, both extensive reading and short texts, forms an important part of the course. The development of the course books is an ongoing process. An issue involved in this process is: How can the reading activities in the course book be further developed? Also, are the reading tasks
(questions and activities) offering varied and holistic stimuli for the learners?
With these questions in mind, it is the purpose of this paper to undertake a study of the reading comprehension tasks in the General English course books, contrast them with an international general English text book and then seek to offer some suggestions based on the findings. The aim is to broaden material developer’s choices when writing and reviewing the course book material, from
the perspectives of structural variety and skills and strategies employed by the learners to complete the tasks., Article, 信州大学人文社会科学研究 3: 18-33(2009)},
