A classroom-based investigation of reciprocal teaching at the grade seven level

This study assessed the effectiveness of a reciprocal teaching program as a method of teaching reading comprehension, using narrative text material in a t.ypical grade seven classroom. In order to determine the effectiveness of the reciprocal teaching program, this method was compared to two other reading instruction approaches that, unlike rcciprocal teaching, did not include social interaction components. Two intact grade scven classes, and a grade seven teacher, participated in this study. Students were appropriately assigned to three treatment groups by reading achievement level as determined from a norm-referenced test. Training proceeded for a five week intervention period during regularly scheduled English periods. Throughout the program curriculum-based tests were administered. These tests were designed to assess comprehension in two distinct ways; namely, character analysis components as they relate to narrative text, and strategy use components as they contribute to student understanding of narrative and expository text. Pre, post, and maintenance tests were administered to measure overall training effects. Moreover, during intervention, training probes were administered in the last period of each week to evaluate treatment group performance. AU curriculum-based tests were coded and comparisons of pre, post, maintenance tests and training probes were presented in graph form. Results showed that the reciprocal group achieved some improvement in reading comprehension scores in the strategy use component of the tests. No improvements were observed for the character analysis components of the curriculum-based tests and the norm-referenced tests. At pre and post intervention, interviews requiring students to respond to questions that addressed metacomprehension awareness of study strategies were administered. The intelviews were coded and comparisons were made between the two intelVicws. No significant improvements were observed regarding student awareness of ten identified study strategies . This study indicated that reciprocal teaching is a viable approach that can be utilized to help students acquire more effective comprehension strategies. However, the maximum utility of the technique when administered to a population of grade seven students performing at average to above average levels of reading achievement has yet to be determined. In order to explore this issue, the refinement of training materials and curriculum-based measurements need to be explored. As well, this study revealed that reciprocal teaching placed heavier demands on the classroom teacher when compared to other reading instruction methods. This may suggest that innovative and intensive teacher training techniques are required before it is feasible to use this method in the classroom.

Changes in education and student-centred learning as related to senior secondary school English

The main purpose of this thesis is to t r ace broadly the educational changes in the past two decades showing a shift of emphasis from a teacher-directed, content-centred philosophy of teaching to a self-directed, student-centred mode of learning. The major justification for an Independent or an Individualized Learning programme with emphasis on "the response to literature approach" is 2 to produce the independent learner. Comprehensive r eading and t he use of t he ERIC system reveal widespread educational thought and practice related t o Individualization and Independent Study as a really democratic way of learning with freedom, independence and responsibility.

Lingüística contrastiva

En aquest article, s’hi justifica la importància de conèixer algunes de les propietats gramaticals de les llengües dels parlants que aprenen català i que són molt diferents de les que habitualment tenim més a prop. Aquest coneixement és bàsic per entendre moltes de les dificultats d’aquestes persones a l’hora d’aprendre el català i pot ajudar a elaborar materials didàctics més adequats i a plantejar les estratègies d’ensenyament més adients per a cada cas

El Pretérito perfecto compuesto y su contraste con el pretérito perfecto simple en las variedades del español

En este trabajo se pretende, por una parte, identificar los usos del pretérito perfecto compuesto y su contraste para las distintas variedades del español y, por otra parte, comparar las conclusiones a las que se llegue al respecto, con dos métodos y una gramática pensados específicamente para la enseñanza de español como lengua extranjera

Los Sufijos apreciativos en la enseñanza de ELE

El principal objetivo de este trabajo es realizar una pequeña aportación a la enseñanza/aprendizaje del español como lengua extranjera. La finalidad es que pueda servir tanto a profesores como a alumnos, ofreciendo una exposición de la sufijación apreciativa no solo como un aspecto más dentro de la gramática, sino concediendo al alumno una serie de estrategias que le ayuden a favorecer un aprendizaje reflexivo de la gramática y, en particular, de la formación de palabras. Todo esto unido siempre a aspectos socioculturales, pragmáticos, e incluso relacionados con el elemento intercultural
