Abstract
The primary goal of this chapter is to conceptualize advanced reading proficiency in collegiate foreign language learners from multiple perspectives, including reading comprehension, learning, and second language acquisition. We first describe reading as a three-phased process that entails text meaning building, personal meaning construction, and knowledge refinement. We also explain the distinct role that linguistic knowledge plays in each operation. We then demonstrate how advanced proficiency is viewed in language proficiency guidelines and how those views are reflected in reading instruction in college foreign language classrooms.
