Afrikaanse literatuur en die jong volwasseneSwanepoel, Celeste 03 1900 (has links)
Thesis (MEd)--University of Stellenbosch, 2002. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: There is a sharp decrease in the reading habits of learners in the senior
secondary school phase. Interest in Afrikaans literature is decreasing amongst
both high school learners and the broader public. From an early age, readers
prefer to read English.
This thesis examines the reading culture of young adults. The literature study
takes a look at the nature and the extent of young adult literature, with specific
focus on the characteristics unique to young adult literature, the value of young
adult literature and the role played by popular literature. The reading world of
young adults is examined with reference to their reading habits, reading
preferences and the reasons why they do not read. The factors that playa role in
the reading habits of this target group are also discussed. This includes reading
needs, disinclination to read, eagerness to read, reader guidance, the library,
parents, the peer group, free time, age, the media, the cover, the title, the author,
cost of books, literature education, the availability and obtainability of books,
gender, reading pleasure, socially disadvantaged communities, culture and
geographical position.
The questionnaire involved 308 16- and 17-year-old young adults and focused on
their reading habits, reading milieu, free time expenditure, language and book
preferences and aversions. The reading habits are analysed on the basis of
criteria such as how often the respondents read books, how many books they
had read in the previous month and how often they visit the library. The reading
milieu refers to the book, newspaper and magazine reading habits of the parents
of the respondents and to the visits to the library by the respondents in their
earlier youth. The role of variables such as gender, geographic position and
population group is also examined. The results of the questionnaire examination confirm the hypotheses stated in
this study:
There is not an established reading culture among Afrikaans-speaking
young adults (16- and 17 year aids).
Afrikaans-speaking young adults prefer to rather read English than to read
Afrikaans.
In conclusion, a summary of proposals is provided that, if implemented
successfully, could promote the reading habit and establish a positive attitude
towards Afrikaans literature. There is a specific look at proposals with regard to
literature education, the role that is played by libraries, parents, authors and the
peer group, as well as marketing, book sales and projects that promote the
culture of reading. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Daar 'n skerp afname in die leesgewoontes van leerders in die senior sekondêre
skoolfase. Belangstelling in die Afrikaanse letterkunde is aan die afneem onder
sowel hoërskoolleerders as die breë publiek. Lesers verkies reeds vanaf 'n vroeë
ouderdom om Engels te lees.
Hierdie tesis ondersoek die leeskultuur van jong volwassenes. In die
literatuurstudie word gekyk na die aard en omvang van jongvolwasseneliteratuur
met spesifieke fokus op die kenmerke eie aan jongvolwasseneliteratuur, die
waarde van jong volwasseneliteratuur en die rol wat populêre literatuur speel.
Die leeswêreld van jong volwassenes word ondersoek met verwysing na hul
leesgewoontes, leesvoorkeure en redes waarom hulle nie lees nie. Die faktore
wat 'n rol speel in die leesgewoontes van hierdie teikengroep word ook bespreek.
Dit sluit in leesbehoeftes, leestraagheid, leesywer, leserleiding, die biblioteek,
ouers, die portuurgroep, vrye tyd, ouderdom, die media, die omslag, die titel, die
skrywer, boekkoste, literatuuronderrig, die beskikbaarheid en bekombaarheid
van boeke, geslag, leesgenot, sosiaal-benadeelde gemeenskappe, kultuur en
geografiese ligging.
Die vraelysondersoek het 308 16- en 17-jarige jong volwassenes betrek en fokus
op hul leesgewoontes, leesmilieu, vrye tydsbesteding, taal- en boekvoorkeure en
-afkeure. Die leesgewoonte word ontleed aan die hand van kriteria soos hoe
gereeld die respondente boeke lees, hoeveel boeke hulle die voorafgaande
maand gelees het en hoe gereeld hulle die biblioteek besoek. Die leesmilieu
verwys na die ouers van respondente se boek-, koerant- en
tydskrifleesgewoontes en na die respondente se besoek aan die biblioteek
kleintyd. Die rol van veranderlikes soos geslag, geografiese ligging en
bevolkingsgroep word ook ondersoek. Die resultate van hierdie vraelysondersoek bevestig die hipoteses gestel in
hierdie studie:
Daar is nie 'n gevestigde leeskultuur by Afrikaanssprekende jong
volwassenes (16- en 17-jariges) nie.
Afrikaanssprekende jong volwassenes verkies om liewer Engels te lees as
Afrikaans.
Ten slotte word daar 'n samevatting van voorstelle gegee wat, indien suksesvol
geïmplementeer, die leesgewoonte bevorder en 'n positiewe houding teenoor
Afrikaanse literatuur vestig. Daar word spesifiek gekyk na voorstelle ten opsigte
van literatuuronderrig, die rol wat biblioteke, ouers, skrywers en die portuurgroep
speel, en ook na bemarking, boekverkope en projekte wat die leeskultuur
bevorder.

Döende böcker och levande texter : En kvalitativ studie om barns syn på läsning, text och bibliotekNagorsen Kastlander, Annika January 2013 (has links)
This master thesis is based on the sociocultural perspective. A qualitative research study was conducted to investigate children's attitudes towards reading, texts and libraries. The theoretical background is constituted by ideas from the new sociology of childhood, literacy-studies and reader-response theory. The study was conducted with 23 children, 13 girls and 10 boys, participating in focus groups. The results of the study reveal that children's literacy-activities in school are strongly influenced and limited by adults. Children's interest in pictures and non-fiction-reading do not correspond to the school institution that favors traditional media and fiction. The study also reveals a gender division between children's literacy-activities that tends to grow with age. All the children in the study regard libraries as book-houses and wished for libraries that combine activity and serenity. The thesis shows the importance of being aware of, and engage in, children's reading-interests and reading-practices if the reading stimulating activities in schools and libraries are to be successful. The study also shows that an integration of new media in the school and in the library is necessary if children's reading skills are to be improved.

The Effects of Using Children's Literature with Adolescents in the English As a Foreign Language Classroom.Belsky, Stella 12 1900 (has links)
This study provides quantitative and qualitative data about the effects of using children's literature with adolescents in a language classroom and the role of children's literature in students' second/foreign language development, including listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills. The study presents qualitative data about the role of children's literature in developing more positive attitudes toward reading in the second/foreign language and toward reading in general. With literature being a model of a culture, presenting linguistic benefits for language learners, teaching communication, and being a motivator in language learning, this study presents empirical data that show that inclusion of children's literature in adolescents' second/foreign language classroom promotes appreciation and enjoyment of literature, enhances the development of language skills, stimulates more advanced learning, and promotes students' personal growth.

Die leesbelangstelling en leesgewoontes van Afrikaanssprekende tienderjariges in PretoriaJoubert, Magaretha Magdalena 01 January 2002 (has links)
The growing concern that teenagers don't read, led to this study.
The study is preceded by an explanation of aspects in which the teenager develops, the value
of reading and the influence of the environment on the teenager's utilisation of leisure time.
In the study, a total of 478 Afrikaans-speaking pupils from grade seven to grade ten completed
different questionnaires, whereby their reading interests and habits were determined.
Some of the important findings of the study are:
- although teenagers indicated their preference of fiction reading as that of horror and ghost
stories, the romantic Sweet Valley series is read the most;
- they prefer main characters who have the same religion and interests as they have;
- cartoons and the periodical, Huisgenoot, are popular with all age groups;
- books in Afrikaans are seemingly not popular;
- the title and blurb are "decisive in the choice of a book;
- teenagers consider it as normal that so little time is spent on reading;
A few recommendations are made at the end of the study. / Die groeiende kommer dat tienderjariges nie lees nie, het tot die studie gelei.
Die studie is voorafgegaan deur 'n uiteensetting van die aspekte waarvolgens tienderjariges
ontwikkel; die waarde van lees en die invloed van die omgewing op tienderjariges se
vryetydsbesteding.
In die studie het 'n totaal van 478 Afrikaanssprekende leerlinge vanaf graad sewe tot graad
tien verskillende vraelyste ingevul, waardeur hul leesbelangstellings en -gewoontes vasgestel
is.
Van die belangrikste bevindings van die studie is:
~ alhoewel tienderjariges aangedui het dat hulle gruwelverhale of spookstories as
leesbelangstelling van fiksie verkies, word die romantiese Sweet Valley reeks die meeste
gelees;
- hoofkarakters wat dieselfde geloof aanhang en belangstellings as hulle het, word verkies;
- strokiesprente en die tydskrif, Huisgenoot, is by alle ouderdomsgroepe gewild;
- boeke in Afrikaans is skynbaar nie gewild nie;
- die titel en die flapteks is deurslaggewend in die keuse van 'n boek;
- tienderjariges beskou dit as normaal dat so min tyd aan lees spandeer word,
'n Paar aanbevelings word aan die einde van die studie gemaak. / Information Science / M.Inf. (Information Science)

Reading the Scottish Enlightenment : libraries, readers and intellectual culture in provincial Scotland c.1750-c.1820Towsey, Mark R. M. January 2007 (has links)
The thesis explores the reception of the works of the Scottish Enlightenment in provincial Scotland, broadly defined, aiming to gauge their diffusion in the libraries of private book collectors and 'public' book-lending institutions, and to suggest the meanings and uses that contemporary Scottish readers assigned to major texts like Hume's History of England and Smith's Wealth of Nations. I thereby acknowledge the relevance of more traditional quantitative approaches to the history of reading (including statistical analysis of the holdings of contemporary book collections), but prioritise the study of sources that also allow us to access the 'hows' and 'whys' of individual reading practices and experiences. Indeed, the central thrust of my work has been the discovery and interrogation of large numbers of commonplace books, marginalia, diaries, correspondence and other documentary records which can be used to illuminate the reading experience itself in an explicit attempt to develop an approach to Scottish reading practices that can contribute in comparative terms to the burgeoning field of the history of reading. More particularly, such sources allow me to assess the impact that specific texts had on the lives, thought-processes and values of a wide range of contemporary readers, and to conclude that by reading these texts in their own endlessly idiosyncratic ways, consumers of literature in Scotland assimilated many of the prevalent attitudes and priorities of the literati in the major cities. Since many of the most important and pervasive manifestations of Enlightenment in Scotland were not particularly Scottish, however, I also cast doubt on the distinctive Scottishness of the prevailing 'cultural' definition of the Scottish Enlightenment, arguing that such behaviour might more appropriately be considered alongside cultural developments in Georgian England.
