This book was released on 2014 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study aimed to investigate the effects of familiarity with the American culture on reading comprehension among middle school English language learners (ELL) in a North Dakota school. Because ELL students are in the process of learning about the American culture at the same time as they learn the English language, this study investigated whether familiarity with the American culture could impact their reading comprehension. Random selection techniques were used to select three equal groups of 6th-8th graders academically leveled: beginning, intermediate, or advanced. Students were 11-14 year-old males and females from Somalia, Iraq, China, Congo, Liberia, Rwanda, and Nepal. Groups of ten were randomly assigned to texts containing culturally-related content developed and written at appropriate reading levels. The study indicated a need for cultural study for ELL students in the curriculum. Other participants included five ELL teachers to explore whether content on American culture was explicitly taught through their lessons. Teachers indicated they did not incorporate culture adequately into their curriculum. Data collection procedures included surveys, pre-tests, and post-tests for students familiar or unfamiliar with the American culture. All the tests were formatted in a standard manner.

This book was released on 2012 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: No other effects emerged for structure complexity. Students demonstrated significantly greater performance on structure and non-structure comprehension questions and structure recall when reading familiar rather than unfamiliar content. Additionally, a marginally significant interaction was found between GO condition and familiarity; students in the re-reading condition experienced a decline in structure comprehension question performance when reading unfamiliar content. These results may inform efforts toward improving second-graders' text structure sensitivity and expository text comprehension through the use of graphic organizers.

This book was released on 2007 with total page 94 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Activating background knowledge is known to play an important role in reading co mprehension. Many researchers around the world have investigated this topic. Mos t of the studies, however, were conducted in monolingual intermediate and second ary school settings; few of them were conducted in bilingual contexts. In this s tudy, the researcher investigated the effect of topic familiarity and background knowledge on bilingual Lebanese fourth grade students? literal as well as highe r order comprehension. A basic premise behind the study is that background knowl edge is necessary to higher order thinking that involves interpretive, critical and evaluative reading (Pressley, 2001). The study employed a pretest-postest control group experimental design. The sub jects are bilingual Lebanese fourth graders (n=44) learning English as a foreign language (EFL) at a private school in Mount Lebanon. The subjects were assigned to control and experimental conditions. The experimental group received direct instruction in building relevant background knowledge; whereas, the control grou p followed the procedures of lesson planning of their textbooks. Results indicat ed that there was statistically significant difference on the dependent variable of the literal comprehension when reading nonfiction texts in favor of the expe rimental group, and on the dependent variable of the higher order comprehension when reading fiction texts in favor of the control group.
