THE EFFECTS OF AN INTERRELATED LANGUAGE SKILLS APPROACH ON A REMEDIAL PROGRAM FOR THE ADULT LEARNER

This study investigated the effectiveness of a remedial program for the adult student based on an integrated language skills approach. The researcher designed and implemented a program based on this philosophy at the community college level. In this remedial program, the skills of reading, writing, listening, and speaking were approached in an interrelated manner. / An assessment of student performance in reading comprehension, vocabulary development, and written syntactic complexity was conducted after the experimental and control groups completed a regular college-level basic English course. A significant difference was found in the reading and vocabulary scores, but no significant difference was noted in measures of written syntactic complexity. / Recommendations were suggested for (1) strengthening the written composition component of the remedial program, and (2) furthering research of remedial adult programs based on an integrated language skills approach. / Source: Dissertation Abstracts International, Volume: 42-11, Section: A, page: 4704. / Thesis (Ph.D.)--The Florida State University, 1981.
