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.

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.

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.

Book Motivation  Language Attitudes and Globalisation

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.

Book The Effect of Strategy Instruction on the Reading Comprehension of HighSchool Students with Adhd

Download or read book The Effect of Strategy Instruction on the Reading Comprehension of HighSchool Students with Adhd written by Joseph W. Johnson and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 115 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of strategy instruction on the reading comprehension of high school students with adhd. The research design was a multiple baseline across participants design with multiple probes during baseline (Kazdin, 1982). The participants were three female high school students with adhd who were also experiencing reading comprehension problems based on standardized test scores. These students were taught the TRAPeR reading comprehension strategy (Think before you read, Read a paragraph, Ask yourself what are the main idea and two supporting details from the paragraph, Paraphrase the main idea and supporting details in your own words, and Review what you read) using the Self-Regulated Strategy Development (srsd) model. Evidence of the strategy instruction's effectiveness was seen in an increase in the number of main ideas and supporting details recalled in an oral summary of the social studies reading passages used in the study. The direct and intensive strategy instruction following the srsd approach lead to improvement in the reading comprehension performance of the participants, suggesting that strategy instruction following the srsd approach may be an effective reading intervention for high school students with adhd.
