Reading in a foreign language : effectiveness of computer-based reading instruction in comparison to teacher-based reading instructionAli, Mohammed Abdulmalik Awad January 2004 (has links)
This study investigated the effectiveness of two methods of instruction, Teacher-Based Instruction (TBI) versus Computer-Assisted Language Learning (CALL), in improving undergraduate Arab learners' English reading ability in the three aspects of speed, comprehension and vocabulary knowledge. The Experimental Pre-test/Post-test Treatment Group Design was implemented in both experiments carried out in this study. Two samples of 100 and 150 students for Experiments I & II, respectively, were randomly chosen from two higher education institutions in the Arab world. Each sample was divided into two groups depending on learners' pre-instruction preferences for TBI or CALL methods. After eight weeks of instruction using one method, the students of the two groups exchanged instructional methods for another period of eight weeks. In both cases the learners attended three 90- minute reading lectures per week. Quantitative and qualitative data analysis showed that CALL was significantly more effective than TBI for improving the learners' reading ability in the three aspects targeted. Results showed that CALL was more effective due to different reasons: learners were more motivated to read and they enjoyed reading; CALL made learners' reading progress visible to them through immediate feedback; it fostered learner autonomy and their desire to be in control of the program and it offered the learners a large number of different reading activities to work on. Learners' suggestions for improving CALL were mainly related to increasing the time they can use CALL programs in learning to read. Findings of the study should encourage higher education institutions especially in the Arab world to take considerable steps towards utilising computers in instruction. Even at school level this utilisation should be considered, but further research should be carried out with learners at different age levels and in different regions in the Arab world.

Previous issue date: 2017-09-20 / Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior - CAPES / This dissertation aims to analyze, from a questionnaire filled by eighteen teachers of literacy in the municipal network of Itapevi, in the Greater São Paulo, the perception they have of the construction process of the proficient reader. The preparation of the questionnaire took into account the results obtained in the National Literacy Assessment (ANA), applied in 2013 and 2014, from the Reference Matrix and the Reading Proficiency Scale. The pedagogical concern, therefore, supports the general objective of the research, once the results obtained in the reading Proficiency, published by official agency, the indexes obtained by the Municipality of Itapevi, although they were slightly above the average of the region, did not reach fifty percent in the tests that aimed to gauge the level of literacy in Portuguese Language. The concern with the practice in the classroom, of didactic-pedagogical paths for competent training of readers during the literacy process, establishes a fundamental question that guided this work: how is it possible to improve the level of literacy in the Municipality of Itapevi? In view of the above, the importance of this work is indicated, since it can contribute to the teaching of the Portuguese Language, especially in what concerns reading abilities in the Literacy Cycle, in a still challenging scenario. On methodological procedures, the qualitative aspects of the large-scale performance evaluation process are used and, based on a well-established theoretical basis, the concepts related to the research topic, such as reading, reading competence, reading skills/abilities, reading strategies, reading tools, instruments used in the evaluation and textual genres, ANA results analysis, Reading Proficiency Scale, as well as research analysis carried out with literacy teachers. In order to theoretically support the research, it was used by scholars such as Luckesi (2011), Koch (2010, 2008), Colomer (2002), Kleiman (2004[1989]), Solé (1998), Goodman (1987), Teberosky and Ferreiro (1979), Raths (1977), among others. In order to contribute to the achievement of the educational goals, teacher training meetings of the initial years focusing on the pedagogical practices of reading teaching are proposed / Esta dissertação tem como objetivo analisar, a partir de questionário preenchido por dezoito professores alfabetizadores da rede municipal de Itapevi, na Grande São Paulo, a percepção que têm do processo de construção do leitor proficiente. A elaboração do questionário levou em conta os resultados obtidos na Avaliação Nacional de Alfabetização (ANA), aplicada em 2013 e 2014, a partir da Matriz de Referência e da Escala de Proficiência em Leitura. A preocupação pedagógica, portanto, sustenta o objetivo geral da pesquisa, uma vez que de posse dos resultados de desempenho na Proficiência leitora, divulgados por órgão oficiais, os índices obtidos pelo Município de Itapevi, ainda que se apresentassem ligeiramente acima da média da região, não chegaram a cinquenta por cento nos testes que objetivavam aferir o nível de alfabetização em Língua Portuguesa. A preocupação com a prática em sala de aula, de caminhos didático-pedagógicos para competente formação de leitores durante o processo de alfabetização instaura uma questão fundamental, que norteou este trabalho: como é possível melhorar o nível de alfabetização no Município de Itapevi? Diante do exposto, indica-se a importância deste trabalho, visto que pode contribuir para o ensino da Língua Portuguesa, em especial no que concerne às capacidades de leitura no Ciclo de Alfabetização, em um cenário ainda desafiador. Sobre os procedimentos metodológicos, são utilizados os aspectos qualitativos do processo de avaliação de desempenho em larga escala e, com base em fundamentação teórica abalizada, revisitaram-se os conceitos atinentes ao tema de pesquisa, tais como: leitura, competência leitora, habilidades/capacidades de leitura, estratégias de leitura, instrumentos utilizados na avaliação e gêneros textuais, análise dos resultados da ANA, da Escala de Proficiência em Leitura, bem como análise de pesquisa realizada com professores alfabetizadores. Para sustentar teoricamente a pesquisa, valeu-se de estudiosos como Luckesi (2011), Koch (2010, 2008), Colomer (2002), Kleiman (2004[1989]), Solé (1998), Goodman (1987), Teberosky e Ferreiro (1979), Raths (1977), entre outros. A fim de contribuir para o alcance das metas educacionais, são propostos encontros de formação de docentes dos anos iniciais com foco nas práticas pedagógicas de ensino de leitura

READING DIFFICULTIES IN ENGLISHAS A FOREIGN LANGUAGE (Teškoće u čitanju na engleskom kao stranom jeziku) / Reading difficulties in English as a foreign languageSavić Vera 15 June 2016 (has links)
<p>Predmet ove doktorske disertacije bio je da se<br />ispitaju teškoće u čitanju na engleskom kao stranom<br />jeziku kod učenika mlađeg uzrasta u osnovnim<br />školama u Srbiji. Od 2003. godine, kada je engleski<br />jezik uveden kao obavezni predmet od prvog razreda<br />osnovne škole, nije bilo nacionalnih istraživanja u<br />vezi sa ranim razvojem veštine čitanja. Pošto<br />teškoće u čitanju mogu negativno uticati na<br />samopouzdanje učenika, njihovu motivaciju i<br />stavove, kao i na akademska i profesionalna<br />dostignuća, neophodno je efikasno delovanje u cilju<br />sprečavanja teškoća u čitanju. Prvi korak u tom<br />pravcu predstavlja ispitivanje faktora koji mogu<br />imati nepovoljan uticaj na razvoj veštine čitanja.<br />U istraživanju je učestvovalo 502 ispitanika<br />uzrasta od 11 godina, koji su pohađali šest osnovnih<br />škola u pet geografski udaljenih gradova Srbije.<br />Primenjena je kombinovana metoda upotrebom<br />osam instrumenata za prikupljanje kvantitativnih i<br />kvalitativnih podataka. Kvantitativni podaci su<br />dobijeni korišćenjem testa čitanja, upitnika o<br />individualnim faktorima, upitnika o kontekstualnim<br />faktorima, upitnika o strategijama, upitnika o<br />teškoćama u čitanju, i intervjua, dok su kvalitativni<br />podaci dobijeni na osnovu pisanih refleksija učenika<br />i upotrebom intervjua. Rezultati su pokazali da<br />postoji statistički značajna razlika u rezultatima testa<br />čitanja u zavisnosti od individualnih i kontekstualnih<br />faktora, kao i da teškoće u ranom čitanju na<br />engleskom kao stranom jeziku mogu biti posledica<br />negativnog uticaja nekih individualnih i<br />kontekstualnih faktora, kao što su nerazvijene<br />lingvističke i strateške kompetencije učenika,<br />negativan transfer veštine čitanja na maternjem<br />jeziku, neadekvatan pristup razvoju veštine čitanja u<br />nastavi, i nedovoljno čitanje na stranom jeziku van<br />časova. Na osnovu rezultata sastavljena je<br />taksonomija od 25 teškoća u čitanju na engleskom<br />kao stranom jeziku. Ovi rezultati imaju značajne<br />implikacije za dizajniranje programa ranog čitanja i<br />programa prevencije teškoća u čitanju, za nastavu<br />ranog čitanja, kao i za obrazovanje i stručno<br />usavršavanje nastavnika engleskog jezika.</p> / <p>The primary focus of the present research study<br />was to investigate reading difficulties of young<br />6<br />learners learning English as a foreign language<br />(EFL) in formal school settings in Serbia. Since the<br />introduction of English as a compulsory school<br />subject from primary Grade One in 2003, there have<br />been no research studies in Serbia to verify what can<br />realistically be achieved in early reading skill<br />development. As reading difficulties can negatively<br />affect learners’ self-esteem, motivation, attitude,<br />confidence, and academic and career prospects, the<br />prevention of reading difficulties has emerged as an<br />issue requiring effective action. The first step<br />towards successful teaching of early reading is<br />exploration of factors that may have an adverse<br />effect on learners’ reading skill development.<br />The present research study involved 502<br />learners, aged 11, drawn from six state primary<br />schools located in five geographically distant regions<br />of the country. A mixed-method approach was<br />applied in the study, and eight instruments were used<br />to collect both quantitative and qualitative data.<br />Quantitative data was obtained with reading research<br />tool, individual factors questionnaire, contextual<br />factors questionnaire, reading strategies<br />questionnaire, reading difficulties questionnaire,<br />teacher questionnaire and prompted think-aloud<br />protocols, while qualitative data was collected with<br />post-reading reflection protocols and prompted<br />think-aloud protocols. The results showed that there<br />was a considerable difference in reading results in<br />relation to both individual and contextual factors,<br />and that reading difficulties in early EFL reading<br />may have been the result of adverse effects of some<br />individual and contextual factors, like poor linguistic<br />and strategic competences of young learners,<br />negative transfer of L1 literacy, inappropriate<br />teaching approach, and insufficient exposure to L2<br />texts. A taxonomy of reading difficulties was<br />complied, comprising 25 L2 reading difficulties.<br />These results have significant implications for<br />designing EFL reading and prevention programmes,<br />for teaching beginning reading, and for pre-service<br />and in-service EFL teacher education and training.</p>
