This document discusses a study that aims to explore why students in Year 6 differ in their reading comprehension levels and the factors that influence this. It notes that most Malaysian students are reluctant readers who read mainly for exams, rather than pleasure or information. The study will examine what materials students read, their reading patterns, and the relationship between these and students' backgrounds and reading performance. It involves observing and surveying 24 students in Year 6 through questionnaires and interviews. The document discusses how parents and teachers who promote reading can positively impact literacy, and identifies providing supportive environments and curriculum support as strengths, while noting the lack of standardized reading assessments.

This study investigated the impact of extensive reading using audio books on students' reading comprehension, vocabulary mastery, and reading interests. 10 low-performing English students listened to self-selected audio books for 6 weeks. Their reading logs and reports showed progress in comprehension and vocabulary. A survey found they were more interested in reading afterwards. Interviews revealed students who performed better found it enjoyable and not difficult. The study concluded that extensive reading using audio books can benefit reading comprehension, vocabulary, and spark reading interests.
Efl learners’ choice of reading strategies in a reading classroom
This document summarizes a study that investigated the reading strategies preferred by English as a Foreign Language (EFL) students. A needs questionnaire was administered to 20 advanced EFL learners to identify their preferences across 11 reading strategies. The five most frequently used strategies identified were skimming texts to identify main ideas (75%), planning how to read texts and monitor comprehension (65%), re-reading dialogues to understand them (60%), paying attention to text structure (55%), and making predictions while reading (65%). The study aims to help educators incorporate preferred reading strategies into their teaching to improve students' reading skills.

3) Benefits include improving students' skills, increasing motivation to learn English, and providing input to improve teaching resources. The study is limited to a science class in Gresik, Indonesia.
Students’ motivation for and attitudes towards self access language learning ...
This document summarizes a study that investigated Thai students' motivation and attitudes toward using a Self-Access Language Learning Centre (SALLC). The study found that the SALLC helped promote positive student attitudes and motivation to learn English independently. Students had high levels of positive motivation and viewed the SALLC materials and facilities positively. The SALLC was effective in stimulating self-directed learning and developing learner autonomy. Student attitudes were also found to be moderately correlated with their motivation levels.

Determination of Elementary Students’ Learning Styles Reviewed from Gender As...Journal of Education and Learning (EduLearn)
Students use different styles or ways of receiving and managing information during learning. VARK learning style was developed based on the physiological aspect of students in the form of sensory modalities. This survey research was conducted at 30 elementary schools in Ambon City. The data of student learning was obtained by filling out the learning style questionnaire developed by Fleming. The results showed that 88.7% of students used a learning style (unimodal) and 11.3% of students combined more than one learning style (multimodal). For the unimodal learning styles, kinesthetic is most prevalent in male and female students with a percentage of 58.6%, whereas visuals are least found with a percentage of 6%. The study also revealed that multimodal learning styles were found at all bimodal, trimodal, and quadmodal combinations. The more blend of learning style, hence the frequency of determination of student learning style even less.. The combination of multiple unimodal learning styles with large numbers will result in multimodal learning styles with large numbers.Factors Affecting Language Learning Strategies
This document discusses factors that affect language learning strategies, including motivation, attitude, gender, age, and duration of learning. It reviews several studies that found motivation and positive attitude are strongly linked to language learning success. Gender differences in strategy use were also found, with females employing more strategies. Adults and those with more experience tend to use strategies more effectively than children or novices. Overall duration and level of learning influences what strategies students employ.

Blogging in Extensive Reading: Students’ Voice in Blended Learning Classroom
Blogging in Extensive Reading: Students’ Voice in Blended Learning ClassroomVision: Journal for Language and Foreign Language Learning
The use of a blog as a platform for extensive reading becomes valuable since it provides the possibility of readership and opportunity for interaction and collaboration. As the online journal facilitating users to display information in chronological order and connected to the Internet, the blog also can help students to get a wide variety of reading materials, which should be conducted in extensive reading activities. However, the use of a blog in this study is integrated with the process of learning in the classroom so that the students can use it for reporting their reading activities and share what they read beyond the classroom. This study is conducted during one semester in one of the universities in Indonesia using six students of the first grade joining an extensive reading course as the participants. In this research, a case study is used as a research method. It aims at analyzing the students' perception of the use of blogs in extensive reading. Findings show that the blog is beneficial for promoting the students' reading interest, building autonomy and creativity, and providing a reflective platform. The blog consists of several features allowing students to get the numerous reading sources that are appropriate with their language level and interest. Therefore, it becomes useful since it can facilitate students to build their responsibility to select their reading material and to reflect the progress of their learning activities.Factors Affecting LLS
This document discusses several factors that affect language learning strategies, including age, gender, motivation, proficiency level, and socioeconomic status. Older, more proficient, and female learners tend to use more strategies and cognitive strategies more often. Motivation also influences strategy use, with more motivated learners using more strategies. Learners from higher socioeconomic backgrounds tend to perform better and use social strategies more frequently. The strategies used depend on factors like age, gender, proficiency level and motivation of the language learners.

Teachers' Perspective on Strategy for Teaching English Vocabulary to Young Le...Vision: Journal for Language and Foreign Language Learning
Teaching and learning vocabulary is an integral part of foreign language learning since it is the basic sub-skill for someone who wants to learn a foreign language. Thus, it is essential to teach English vocabulary at an early age since students still in the scope of their golden age, and they could learn everything easily. In this case, the teachers' teaching strategy seems essential to be concerned. Moreover, this descriptive qualitative study as a case study is designed to explore the Qur'an Learning Center teachers' perspective on the strategy used to teach vocabulary to young learners. The data were gathered through a semi-structured interview with two English Teachers at the Qur'an Learning Center, one of the elementary schools in Jakarta Selatan. The result of this study revealed that teachers believe that teaching strategy is essential for teaching vocabulary to young learners. Thus, the teachers have various strategies that can be applied for teaching vocabulary to young learners, for example, using games, sing a song, and others. Also, the teachers used interesting media like video, a real thing, pictures, and others. Those strategies are effective in engaging students to learn new vocabulary in English. This study is expected to give reference and knowledge for the English teacher who teaches young learners so they could implement some suitable ways with their real class.Teachers' Questioning in Reading Lessons

As a result, the teachers were mainly exposed to and asked low-level questions in their lessons. The study provided insights into teacher questioning strategies in a foreign language context in Indonesia and implications for improving reading instruction through higher-level questioning.

The document discusses improving students' speaking skills through the Think Pair Share strategy in a classroom action research project. It begins by explaining the importance of teaching speaking skills in English and some common problems students face, such as lack of vocabulary and confidence.

The strategy gives students a chance to learn from each other. The document concludes that Think Pair Share has benefits for teaching speaking and could help address low speaking abilities among some students.
WP68 Does Medium of Instruction Affect Learning Outcomes
This document summarizes a study that examines the effect of medium of instruction on learning outcomes using longitudinal data from the Young Lives study in Andhra Pradesh, India. The study finds that students who receive instruction in their mother tongue (Telugu) perform significantly better on math tests on average compared to students who receive English-medium instruction, after controlling for student ability, household characteristics, and parental aspirations. This suggests that introducing English as the medium of instruction at early grades may negatively impact student learning outcomes. The study uses a value-added model and data from over 2,000 students in the younger cohort of the Young Lives study to analyze differences in math achievement scores between Telugu and English medium students at primary school level in India.

This document summarizes a research study that investigated teacher preferences for reading comprehension strategies in Germany and the United States. The study found that while teachers support teaching reading strategies, some strategies are better suited to specific content areas than others. The researchers conducted a survey of teacher candidates to identify commonly preferred strategies and understand how strategies are viewed as applicable in different classroom contexts. The results suggested that providing targeted training on a few content-specific strategies, rather than a wide variety, could help teachers effectively integrate reading instruction into their lessons.

Reading habits of primary school pupils
- 1. NURUL FARHANIS SYUHADA BT IBRAHIM TGB140031
- 2. Reading is the next skill that pupils learn after listening and speaking skills before they start to learn to write. The Ministry of Education Malaysia has set in the Curriculum Specifications for English for Year 6 students “to read and understand different kinds of texts for enjoyment and information” (Curriculum Development Centre, 2003, p. 1)
- 3. 80% of Malaysian students are reluctant readers that read merely for examination purpose, rather than for pleasure or information Not an active reader Low participation in NILAM programme Low performance in English
- 4. The study intends to explore and gain deeper insights on why pupils in 6 Utarid differ in their levels of comprehension or performance in reading and the factors that influence these differences.
- 5. What do the pupils’ read? What is their pattern of reading? What is the relationship between the materials they read, their background characteristics and their comprehension level or performance in reading?
- 6. The parents, who enjoy reading and provide rich literacy environments and resources for learning, can significantly promote literacy in their children (McKenna & Kear, 1990). Teachers who exhibit a personal love and enthusiasm for pleasure reading encourage their students to read and discuss books more often (Pressley, Mohan, Raphael, & Fingeret, 2007).
- 7. Participants ◦ 24 pupils of 6 Utarid ◦ 14 girls and 10 boys ◦ 12 years old Mix methods ◦ Observation ◦ Questionnaire ◦ Interview
- 10. Strength ◦ Giving idea for pedagogical improvement Limitation ◦ No standard reading assessment ◦ exam oriented
- 11. Adults play fundamental roles in imparting good reading habits Supportive environment The role of curriculum
