Promoting reading comprehension competence among English second language high school learners in a disadvantaged communityColeman, Mary F. 30 June 2004 (has links)
The goal of this research study was to determine whether extensive reading, supported by the
instruction and use of appropriate strategies, would
a) improve learners' comprehension achievement
b) increase academic achievement in English, and
c) promote higher achievement in general academic performance.
One hundred and twenty-one learners participated in this project. Three groups of learners:
extensive readers, less extensive readers and non-extensive readers were identified and
studied. The result indicated that extensive reading not only leads to improved achievement in
comprehension, but that it also leads to improvement in general academic performance in all
subjects across the curriculum; while lack of extensive reading has an adverse effect on both
reading comprehension achievement and general academic performance as a whole. / Teacher Education / M.Ed. (Didactics)
