Download or read book The Effect of Strategy Instruction on Reading Comprehension and Students Awareness of Reading Strategies written by Hayat Farouk Shouman and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reading comprehension is mainly the product of three factors: The text, the read er's background knowledge, and strategies used to circumvent any comprehension f ailures. However, not all primary students discover reading strategies and apply strategic processes when confronting texts that are challenging to comprehend. Results of previous research reveal that explicit reading strategy instruction i s a feasible tool for teaching students how to apply them successfully. The aim of this study was to examine the relative effect of Reciprocal Teaching strategy instruction and Question-Answer Relationships in improving EFL students ' reading comprehension, to investigate their relative role in improving EFL stu dents' awareness of reading strategies( Global, Problem Solving, and Support rea ding strategies), and to examine the role of reading strategies awareness in rea ding comprehension. The participants in this intervention were 66 sixth grade mi ddle class students from the Hariri High School II. Three sections were assigned into two experimental groups and one control group. The study used a pre-test p ost test control group quasi-experimental design. A Reading Comprehension Test w as administered prior to and after instruction in order to evaluate the efficacy of the intervention. Students' awareness of reading strategies was measured usi ng The Survey of Reading Strategies (SORS). Descriptive statistics (frequencies, means, and standard deviations), multiple multivariate analyses of co-variance (MANCOVA) tests, and a linear regression test were conducted to answer the quest ions raised in the study. The results revealed that Reciprocal Teaching and Question-Answer Relationships had a significant effect in improving students' reading comprehension. However, the results did not indicate a statistically significant role of these reading s trategies in improving students' awareness of reading strategies. Moreover, the results did not reveal a significant role of the awareness of these strategies i n promoting reading comprehension.
Download or read book Comprehension Instruction written by Cathy Collins Block and published by Guilford Press. This book was released on 2001-10-17 with total page 414 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Comprehension instruction is widely recognized as an essential component of developing students' pleasure and profit from reading. Yet despite significant recent gains in knowledge about how comprehension develops and how it can be taught effectively, classroom practice still lags behind research in this crucial area. This volume brings together the field's leading scholars to summarize current research and provide best-practice guidelines for teachers and teacher educators. Each coherently structured chapter presents key findings on a particular aspect of comprehension, discusses instructional practices supported by the research, and addresses what still needs to be known in order to provide the best possible comprehension instruction for every student. Topics covered include assessment, curriculum, methods, and comprehension difficulties, from the preschool level through high school.
Download or read book Motivation Language Attitudes and Globalisation written by Zoltán Dörnyei and published by Multilingual Matters. This book was released on 2006-04-12 with total page 219 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume presents the results of the largest ever language attitude/motivation survey in second language studies. The research team gathered data from over 13,000 Hungarian language learners on three successive occasions: in 1993, 1999 and 2004. The examined period covers a particularly prominent time in Hungary’s history, the transition from a closed, Communist society to a western-style democracy that became a member of the European Union in 2004. Thus, the book provides an ‘attitudinal/motivational flow-chart’ describing how significant sociopolitical changes affect the language disposition of a nation. The investigation focused on the appraisal of five target languages – English, German, French, Italian and Russian – and this multi-language design made it also possible to observe the changing status of the different languages in relation to each other over the examined 12-year period. Thus, the authors were in an ideal position to investigate the ongoing impact of language globalisation in a context where for various political/historical reasons certain transformation processes took place with unusual intensity and speed. The result is a unique blueprint of how and why language globalisation takes place in an actual language learning environment.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to discover the effect of strategy instruction on the reading comprehension performance and strategy knowledge of a sixth grade student in Singapore. The sample was a 13-year-old male student with a reading disability. The student had good decoding skills but was weak in comprehension. The study assessed strengths and weaknesses in the student's reading comprehension and his knowledge and use of reading strategies. Comprehension performance was assessed using a standardized comprehension pretest and a posttest and through tasks on passages from the Qualitative Reading Inventory-4. Observations made during the Qualitative Reading Inventory-4 assessments provided information about the student's use of strategies. The student's knowledge of strategies was measured through interviews and through a questionnaire, the Metacomprehension Strategy Index. One-on-one instruction of selected strategies was provided through fifteen 90-minute sessions of after-school tutoring. The study found that instruction of strategies improved the student's comprehension performance and increased his knowledge about strategy use.

Download or read book Comprehension Grades K 12 written by Douglas Fisher and published by Corwin. This book was released on 2020-08-20 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Radically change the way students learn from texts, extending beyond comprehension to critical reasoning and problem solving. Is your reading comprehension instruction just a pile of strategies? There is no evidence that teaching one strategy at a time, especially with pieces of text that require that readers use a variety of strategies to successfully negotiate meaning, is effective. And how can we extend comprehension beyond simple meaning? Bestselling authors Douglas Fisher, Nancy Frey, and Nicole Law propose a new, comprehensive model of reading instruction that goes beyond teaching skills to fostering engagement and motivation. Using a structured, three-pronged approach—skill, will, and thrill—students learn to experience reading as a purposeful act and embrace struggle as a natural part of the reading process. Instruction occurs in three phases: Skill. Holistically developing skills and strategies necessary for students to comprehend text, such as monitoring, predicting, summarizing, questioning, and inferring. Will. Creating the mindsets, motivations, and habits, including goal setting and choice, necessary for students to engage fully with texts. Thrill. Fostering the thrill of comprehension, so that students share their thinking with others or use their knowledge for something else. Comprehension is the structured framework you need to empower students to comprehend text and take action in the world.

This book was released on 2009 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The aim of this study was to examine the relative effect of strategy instruction using a specific direct instruction model, the Optimal Learning Model (OLM), on ESL students' reading comprehension, by comparing it to the results achieved by regular instruction that is typified by its heavy reliance on content and teach ing reading skills rather than strategies. The participants in this experiment w ere 46 third grade, ESL students enrolled at the same private international scho ol in Beirut. Two sections were assigned into an experimental and control group. A pre and post-test quasi-experimental design was used. A Reading Comprehension Test was administered prior to and after instruction in order to evaluate the e fficacy of the intervention. Descriptive statistics (means and standard deviatio ns) of the scores on the variables under study, an independent sample t-test, as well as analysis of co-variance tests (ANCOVA) were conducted to address the qu estion raised in the study. The treatment conditions (experimental versus contro l) were used as the independent variable and the post-test comprehension scores as the dependent variable. The pre-test scores were used as covariates. The results revealed an overall statistically significant difference in favor of the experimental group on the dependant variable of reading comprehension post- test scores. This yields strong indications to the efficacy of the direct instru ction of reading comprehension strategies as opposed to regular instruction and provides for important practical implications in the area of reading instruction.
