Using Arabic (L1) in testing reading comprehension in English (L2) as a foreign languageAl-Qudairy, Abdullah H. A. January 2011 (has links)
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of using Arabic (L1) as a language of questions and answers in testing reading comprehension in English (L2), and to explore student and teacher opinions about this. Both quantitative and qualitative methods were employed. To collect the quantitative data, one hundred and forty-four students were given a reading comprehension test. Both multiple-choice and short-answer questions were used. The subjects were second-year English department undergraduate Saudi students and final-year secondary school Saudi students. Other factors including gender and five reading sub-skills were considered. Twelve students and four English-language teachers participated in semi-structured interviews, the source of the qualitative data. The findings of this study indicate that, for the population, test types and test levels investigated, there is no clear case for having reading comprehension questions and answers in L1. The use of Arabic in the English reading comprehension tests did not improve the performance of students. Interview responses were mixed, but with no consensus in favour of Arabic. Limitations of this study are discussed, and recommendations for further research in testing reading comprehension in English as a foreign language are presented.

Online and Offline Gaming as Support for English Education in Swedish Upper Elementary Schools with Focus on Reading Comprehension Online and Offline Gaming as Support for English Education in Swedish Upper Elementary Schools with Focus on Reading Comprehension : A literature review about online and offline gaming as a resource for developing English reading comprehension in Swedish schools in year 4-6Sandin, Ida January 2015 (has links)
The aim of this degree thesis is to see what research says about the use of computer and video games to support upper elementary pupils’ development in English reading comprehension in Swedish schools. Other goals are to see how online and offline gaming can be integrated in the Swedish schools and what attitudes teachers have towards gaming. The method used is a systematic literature review and the purpose is to analyze chosen articles and to find relevant content that answers the research questions. Five articles were chosen from different databases and were systematically analyzed in this thesis. The results show that online gaming as support for education can be rewarding for some upper elementary pupils in English learning. However, in English reading comprehension there is not much research found which means that more research needs to be made within this area. Moreover, involving online gaming in English language learning seems to be a challenge for teachers mostly because of their lack of knowledge about the subject, even though they are positive to gaming. The lack of knowledge about the subject could be altered with more education and courses in the area.

Previous issue date: 2018-04-10 / Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior (CAPES) / A presente pesquisa de mestrado teve por objetivo o desenvolvimento de atividades didáticas em língua inglesa com base em corpora com o foco no desenvolvimento da compreensão oral para alunos em nível A2 e B1. Para tanto, a Linguística de Corpus serviu com aparato teórico-metodológico, e as atividades preparadas foram aplicadas em um minicurso de 12 horas ministrado em uma instituição de ensino superior tecnológico, no noroeste do estado de São Paulo. Os alunos participantes estavam no último ano de suas graduações e ao terminarem o curso eles têm a oportunidade de se submeterem a aplicação do exame de proficiência internacional TOEFL. A necessidade desta pesquisa se deu após o resultado do mapeamento de proficiência em língua inglesa dos alunos brasileiros revelarem um nível insuficiente para o acompanhamento das atividades acadêmicas em universidades do exterior (ABREU LIMA, MORAES FILHO, 2016). Como metodologia de pesquisa, utilizamos o programa AntConc® como ferramenta para a realização das análises e descrições lexicais do corpus de estudo para a pesquisa, que foi compilado a partir das transcrições de 71 palestras retiradas do site TED (www.ted.com) e de 56 transcrições das animações do site TED-ED (https://ed.ted.com/). A partir dos dados obtidos por meio das análises do corpus de estudo, foram propostas, e posteriormente aplicadas, atividades com o foco na compreensão oral em língua inglesa. Como fundamentação teórica, tomamos como base os conceitos de Inglês para Fins Acadêmicos (FLOWERDEW, 2001; CHARLES, 2013; HYLAND, 2006), Linguística de Corpus (CHARLES, 2012; MCENERY, XIAO, 2011; BERBER SARDINHA, 2010; 2004), e as concepções sobre a Compreensão Oral (ROST, 2011; FLOWERDEW, MILLER, 2005; GOH 2003, 2012; MCCARTHY, 1998). Os resultados obtidos nesta pesquisa contribuem para o aprimoramento da compreensão oral dos alunos sobre a língua inglesa. Esperamos ainda que este estudo ressalte a importância da Linguística de Corpus para o ensino e aprendizagem de línguas, assim como a relevância da elaboração de materiais didáticos baseados em corpus. / This master's research aimed at the designing of corpus-based activities in English, focusing on the development of the oral comprehension for students at levels A2 and B1. To that end, Corpus linguistics was used as a theoretical-methodological apparatus, and the activities were applied in a mini-course of 12 hours taught at a higher education institution in the northwest of the state of São Paulo. The participating students were in the last year of their undergraduate studies and upon finishing the course they have the opportunity to apply for the international proficiency exam TOEFL. The need for this research came after the mapping of Brazilian students’ level of English revealed an insufficient proficiency to follow academic activities in universities abroad (ABREU LIMA, MORAES FILHO, 2016). As a research methodology, we used the Antconc® program as a tool to perform lexical analyzes and descriptions. The corpus of study for this research was compiled from the transcripts of 71 lectures taken from the TED website (www.ted.com) and 56 transcripts of the TED-ED website animations (https://ed.ted.com/). From the data obtained through the analysis of the corpus of study, activities focused on listening comprehension in English were proposed and then applied to students. As a theoretical basis, we followed the concepts of English for Academic Purposes (FLOWERDEW, 2001, CHARLES, 2013, HYLAND, 2006), Corpus Linguistics (CHARLES, 2012, MCENERY, XIAO, 2011, BERBER SARDINHA, 2010); and conceptions about Oral Comprehension (ROST, 2011; FLOWERDEW, MILLER, 2005; GOH 2003, 2012; MCCARTHY, 1998). The results obtained in this research are intended to improve the lexical knowledge of the students in English. We also hope that this study may highlight the importance of Corpus Linguistics for language teaching and learning, as well as the relevance of corpus-based materials.
