Download or read book An Investigation Into Adult ESL Learners' Self-regulated Learning Strategies and Second Language Reading written by Mingda Sun and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The current study explores language learners' use of reading strategies and views reading as an act of engaging in and producing meaningful discourse from shared experiences as framed by sociocultural theory. This study involved three groups of two English learners with low, intermediate and advanced proficiency levels. All the participants were college students from different cultural backgrounds with various first languages. First, a modified strategy questionnaire was used to explore learners' self-reported use of reading strategies. During the research process, six verbal protocols were conducted with each participant in order to determine what strategies the students used in the process of reading. All the participants engaged in stimulated recall immediately after reading a given passage. In the meantime, the participants were asked to complete the self-monitoring form each time they read an article (at least three articles each week). Interviews were another important source of information for this mix-method study. Face-to-face interviews were conducted after all the verbal protocol tasks were completed with each participant in order to acquire how learners perceive SRL strategy use and reading comprehension. Descriptive and correlation tests were used for the statistical analyses; while the verbal protocols, self-monitoring forms, and interview results were thoroughly analyzed with the help of transcribing, coding, and memo writing. Several implications can be drawn from the results. First, as expected, advanced L2 readers applied more SRL strategies in their learning in general. Second, the results suggest that readers applied various strategies according to their difficulties in reading, the text content/topics, their reading motivation/interest, reading goals, cultural background, and familiarity with the topic. Last but not least, this study explored the relative effects of cultural and content familiarity on low- and high-level readers' comprehension.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Written specifically for K–12 educators, this accessible book explains the processes involved in second-language acquisition and provides a wealth of practical strategies for helping English language learners (ELLs) succeed at reading. The authors integrate knowledge from two fields that often remain disconnected—linguistics and literacy—with a focus on what works in the classroom. Teachers learn effective practices for supporting students as they build core competencies not just for reading in English, but also for listening, speaking, and writing. Engaging vignettes and examples illustrate ways to promote ELLs’ communicative skills across the content areas and in formal and informal settings.

Book excerpt: The untold story of the root cause of America's education crisis--and the seemingly endless cycle of multigenerational poverty. It was only after years within the education reform movement that Natalie Wexler stumbled across a hidden explanation for our country's frustrating lack of progress when it comes to providing every child with a quality education. The problem wasn't one of the usual scapegoats: lazy teachers, shoddy facilities, lack of accountability. It was something no one was talking about: the elementary school curriculum's intense focus on decontextualized reading comprehension "skills" at the expense of actual knowledge. In the tradition of Dale Russakoff's The Prize and Dana Goldstein's The Teacher Wars, Wexler brings together history, research, and compelling characters to pull back the curtain on this fundamental flaw in our education system--one that fellow reformers, journalists, and policymakers have long overlooked, and of which the general public, including many parents, remains unaware. But The Knowledge Gap isn't just a story of what schools have gotten so wrong--it also follows innovative educators who are in the process of shedding their deeply ingrained habits, and describes the rewards that have come along: students who are not only excited to learn but are also acquiring the knowledge and vocabulary that will enable them to succeed. If we truly want to fix our education system and unlock the potential of our neediest children, we have no choice but to pay attention.

This book was released on 2019 with total page 39 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ESL young adult learners deserve instructional pathways that support and set them with strategies for success in a mindful manner. Learning English with the notion of "thinking about thinking," or self-regulation of processes, enable the learner to master specific tasks, based on goal setting, planning, monitoring and evaluating their performance all the time. This project proposes to raise awareness in the use of metacognitive reading strategies in ESL in order to equip language learners with tools that allow them to get the most out of every reading experience in the target language. There are many reading strategies, however knowing what, when, why and how to use them is crucial for accomplishing academic goals through reading. Self-regulating the process of learning encourages learners to be always aware of the way they approach reading by asking and answering questions before, during and after reading, achieving the task while mastering the pre-established objectives. Metacognitive reading strategies for ESL learners are approachable, and there are different ones for every stage of reading. Young adult ESL learners must have access to strategies that allow them to plan, arrange and evaluate their success, and language instructors should be ready to offer them that metacognitive instruction getting them ready for success.

Download or read book The Effects of Content Knowledge from Reading on Adult ESL Students' Written Compositions in an English Language Test Using Reading and Writing Modules written by Hameed Esmaeili and published by . This book was released on 2000 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study investigated how content knowledge from reading affected both the processes and the products of adult ESL (English as a second language) students' writing performance in a simulated English language test that made use of reading and writing modules. It also sought to determine if ESL students' reading performance was affected in such circumstances. Thirty-four first year engineering students with intermediate levels of English proficiency at two universities (thirty-one from one university and three from another one) in southern Ontario participated in this study. Following a within-subjects design, they did two reading and writing tasks in two conditions counter-balanced for order of presentation, one when the reading passage was related thematically to the writing task, and the other when the reading passage was not. They also answered some interview questions and filled out a retrospective checklist of the writing strategies they used when their writing task was related thematically to their reading task. In the thematically-related condition participants (a) achieved significantly higher scores on their written compositions, writing profiles, and summary recall protocols for reading comprehension than in the thematically-unrelated condition; (b) recalled more idea-units within a reading passage in their summary recall protocols than in the thematically-unrelated condition; (c) applied more than 8 types of writing strategies (comprising twenty-six unique strategies) in doing their writing task; and (d) mostly (65% of them) had positive attitudes towards the use of reading and writing modules in their test. There was no correlation between participants' self-assessments of their familiarity with the content knowledge of a reading passage and their writing scores in the thematically-related condition. The key finding was that the present adult ESL students benefitted from reading and writing modules in doing their reading and their writing tasks. The thematic connection between reading and writing enhanced both the processes and the products of their writing tasks.
