Tā kā mūsdienās pusaudži arvien vairāk pavada brīvo laiku pie datora vai televizora grāmatu lasīšanas vietā, diplomdarba mērķis bija izpētīt kā ārpusklases lasīšanas uzdevumu pielietošana mācību procesā var pamudināt skolēnus lasīt angļu valodā. Mērķa sasniegšanai kā pētījuma metode tika izvēlēts atsevišķa gadījuma pētījums. Divas 8. klases skolēnu grupas, kopum…
