| description | This paper will present an inventory of reading comprehension strategies of
Malaysian College TESL students. More specifically, it outlines the strategies these
students commonly use when they read expository texts. The paper is based on a
study conducted in a teacher training college in the East Coast of Peninsula Malaysia.
The sample of the study comprised 14 students who were pursuing the Bachelor in
Education (B.Ed.) TESL foundation course in the teacher training college. Of the 14
college TESL students seven were proficient readers and the rest less proficient
readers. Altogether, they read two culturally familiar texts and two culturally
unfamiliar texts. The think-aloud method was used to elicit reading comprehension
strategies when they read the two different text types. The data were subjected to both
qualitative and quantitative analyses. The findings of the study are discussed in
relation to past reading strategy research and in the context of current theoretic views
about strategy use in reading comprehension.(Author's abstract) |
