This book was released on 2011 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this study the role of cultural schema in secondary English learners' reading comprehension of a period-specific text was observed and measured through multiplechoice and fill-in testing. Spanish speaking English learners at the high school level, who were either born in the United States or Mexico, with varying levels of English language proficiency, were the focus of this study. Upon conclusion of the study, English learners born in the United States and with higher language proficiency levels had the highest comprehension scores. The group read Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet while the teacher used targeted instruction to construct cultural schema needed to comprehend the text. All groups improved their comprehension with the introduction of targeted instruction of cultural schema. However, the only statistical significance was found in the analysis of language proficiency and reading comprehension. These findings suggested that English learners' reading comprehension is affected by language proficiency, but further research is needed to understand the connection between cultural schema and reading comprehension.

This book is a personal statement based on her own theory and research as well as that of others.

Download or read book The Effect of Content Schema on the Reading Comprehension of Foreign Language Learners in the Chinese EFL Context written by Jia Li and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reading comprehension is a complex interactive process of forming meaning through relating what is encountered in the text to what the reader already knows. Schema theory describes the process by which readers combine their own background knowledge with the information in a text to comprehend that text. Previous research in the effect of content schema on both first and foreign language reading comprehension has provided empirical support for the hypotheses that content schema, either topic or cultural specific, has a significant impact on reading comprehension and content-based pre-reading activities can facilitate reading. However, few studies which focus on Chinese English as a Foreign Language (EFL) context have been done, especially at college level. The present study investigated the effect of content schema on Chinese EFL students reading comprehension.

Download or read book Reading in a Second Language written by A.H. Urquhart and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-06-06 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reading in a Second Language sets the testing and teaching of reading against a theoretical background, discussing research from both applied linguistics and cognitive psychology. Where possible, it focuses on research into second language readers and distinguishes different kinds of reading, particularly expeditious as opposed to careful reading, and emphasizes the validity of each.Sandy Urquhart and Cyril Weir relate testing and teaching, discussing similarities and differences, providing a comprehensive survey of both methods with the emphasis on those which have been substantiated or supported by research evidence. Finally, the book proposes specific research topics, and detailed advice on how to construct tests of language for academic purposes and suggestions for further research.
