Reading strategies employed by grade 10 english first additional language teachers to elicit reading culture in the King williams town education districtGcilishe, Tantaswa Brenda January 2015 (has links)
This study sought to explore strategies used to elicit a reading culture among secondary schools learners. The importance of reading cannot be over emphasised as it is used as an index to how well an education system is, in the delivering of its mandate of creating a reading nation. In view of this, the South African government has developed a range of legislation and policies that shape reading and literacy in the country. Theoretically, the study is built around the socio-cultural theory which is conceptualised by different reading models. Methodologically, it is premised within the interpretive paradigm based on a case study design. In view of this, the study made use of the Qualitative research method with the principal tools for data collection being; interviews, focus group discussion and, observation. The main findings of the study revealed that using English as the medium of instruction in South Africa is not such a good idea. In this regards, teachers need some form of training to cope with the use of English (a first additional language to both teachers and learners) is a problem in itself. The study recommends that the government needs a) to provide funding to ascertain that resources needed to facilitate reading are available, b) the government should also play the role of monitoring and evaluation to make sure that the policies are kept in place and, c) There is need for in-service training for teachers to make sure that they are living up to expectation. There would be tremendous growth in socio-economic terms with a love for reading being fostered among all members of the school and community. Read more

Comprehension of Prose: Strategies Affecting Good and Poor High School ReadersDoyle, Mary Jean 05 1900 (has links)
The problem of this study was to investigate how good and poor comprehenders utilize passage structure and task instructions to acquire information from a prose passage. To give a more detailed picture of what type of information processing occurred during reading, both verbatim and paraphrase items were used to assess comprehension.There were two strong but nonsignificant patterns in the data for task instructions. Poor readers were sensitive to both attribute and relation instructions. Good readers, however, were not affected by attribute instructions, but were sensitive to relation instructions. The results for good readers tentatively suggest that they encode attributes as a natural part of reading, but only encode relationships when they are specifically instructed to do so. Based on these results, three observations were made. First, good readers appear not to be easily affected by text organization, but poor readers may be aided in comprehension by slight improvements in the organization of the text. Second, all students need more assistance and practice in drawing inferences from the text. Third, written instructions may be a weak aid for increasing the comprehension of poor readers and may help good readers attend to information they would normally miss. Read more

Addressing the reading problems of selected learners of English as a foreign language in three schools in Tripoli, LibyaAl Fathali, Najla 05 April 2007 (has links)
The study aims at investigating the problems that learners of English as a foreign language in three secondary schools in Tripoli, Libya, have in developing English reading skills. The study is conducted within a conceptual framework for the study of reading and the development of reading skills, developed on the basis of a literature study. Information was obtained by requesting 60 Grade 11 learners in the three selected schools to complete an English comprehension test (to determine their ability to interpret a written text), by observing teachers teaching English reading in these schools, by conducting interviews with the learners and by interviewing selected lecturers at a Teachers' Training College in Tripoli. The information obtained in this way was analysed and interpreted in order to answer the following questions: <ul><li> What problems do learners in Libyan secondary schools experience with reading in EFL? </li> <li> What are the main causes of these problems? </li> <li> Do the curricula for EFL reading and the didactic approaches of educators contribute to the problem? </li> <li> What are the possible ways to resolve these problems? </ul> </li><ul>Findings include: <li>EFL learners in Tripoli cannot recognise sentences and paragraphs. </li> <li>They have restricted vocabulary knowledge. </li> <li>They are not able to extract correct information from texts. They cannot understand both implied and explicitly stated information. </li> <li>They do not understand figurative language. </li> <li>They cannot express the technical relations between parts of texts through the use of cohesive devices. </li> <li>They cannot determine or identify the main idea of texts. </li></ul> The reasons for these problems are that the learners do not have a structured knowledge of the English language, their English reading skills are underdeveloped and non-appropriate didactic approaches are used by educators in EFL classrooms. Possible ways to resolve these problems are that EFL learners must acquire better proficiency in English, their English reading skills must be developed properly, and educators in EFL learners' classrooms must use more appropriate didactic approaches to enable EFL learners to acquire proficiency in English and to develop their reading skills, by following the steps prescribed in the EFL reading curriculum. The curriculum that is used in the Teachers' Training College must be implemented more effectively in teacher training programmes, and lecturers must ensure that teacher trainees have a proper understanding of the curriculum of EFL reading skills when they graduate. / Dissertation (MA(Applied Language Studies))--University of Pretoria, 2007. / Afrikaans / unrestricted Read more

Using a classroom library to promote extensive reading in a Grade 8 class in a Fort Beaufort District School, Eastern Cape : an action research case study.Bushula, Bruce Simphiwe January 2015 (has links)
This thesis reports on a collaborative action research case study with Grade 8 learners in a rural high school in Fort Beaufort District, Eastern Cape, South Africa. The goals of the case study were firstly, to understand best practices for promoting extensive reading using a classroom library, and secondly, to use these insights to put an extensive reading programme in place with a view to improving my practice as a language teacher and to gain better understanding of ways of enhancing my Grade 8 learners’ literacy skills. The following qualitative methods were used to collect data: observation, semi-structured interviews, class discussion, questionnaires, journal reflections and document analysis. Analysis of data involved identification of emerging themes and patterns. The findings suggest that the strategies used in the extensive reading intervention improved my learners’ levels of engagement with reading. Putting these strategies into practice, and reflecting critically on how to refine them helped enrich my own professional insight and development in relation to the implementation of extensive reading programmes. Since action research is usually designed in spirals of action, this research serves as a first spiral and a foundation upon which to build second and subsequent spirals (which do not form part of this research). The study highlighted the fact that certain challenges that emerged (for example, shortage of books at the learners’ level, and a lack of parental cooperation) need to be addressed in a second spiral of intervention. The study further suggested that the implementation of effective extensive reading programmes by teachers in the middle and upper phases of secondary schooling requires further investigation.

An experiment to determine the effectiveness of the S.R.A. reading laboratory as compared with other instructional materials in remedial reading classes for tenth grade pupils at Hillsborough High School, Tampa, Florida, in the school year 1957-58Unknown Date (has links)
"In this study an experiment was conducted to determine the effectiveness of the S.R.A. Reading Laboratory as compared with other instructional materials used in remedial reading classes for tenth grade pupils at Hillsborough High School, Tampa, Florida, in the school year 1957-58. The S.R.A. Reading Laboratory is a kit of reading materials designed to help pupils improve in reading skills by providing highly interesting factual prose selections of varying degrees of difficulty. Essence of the Reading Laboratory plan is provision for each pupil to read selections of the right degree of difficulty for him. Suitable comprehension and word-study exercises follow each reading activity. Pupils check and evaluate their own work and keep a graphic record of their progress in individual student record books. Each pupil advances to a higher reading level when he is ready"--Introduction. / Typescript. / "August, 1958." / "Submitted to the Graduate Council of Florida State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science." / Advisor: Dwight L.
