The present study examined the cognitive processing strategies of good and poor readers from two different grades and attempted to make an information processing analysis of reading. The performance of twenty good and twenty poor readers each from Grade 3 and Grade 5 was compared on tasks of attention, simultaneous and successive processing as well as planning. 2 (Grade) × 2 (Reading Status) an...

The objective of this study was to investigate the reading methods students brought with them to the university. In the process, it also attempts to provide an answer to the question about whether reading strategies are caught or taught. It is generally assumed that since students ‘can’ read, they should know ‘how to read’ and that they are bound to pick up the necessary reading skills along th...

A meta-analysis was conducted to investigate whether specific reading disorder (SRD) groups demonstrate a deficit in using phonological recoding strategies. Thirty-four studies were reviewed that had compared the nonword reading performances of SRD groups with reading-level matched (RL) control groups. The average nonword reading difference between groups across the total number of studies was ...

the purpose of the present study was to discover which of the two reading strategies, concept mapping or summarizing, is more effective on esp learners’ reading comprehension of eap texts. to fulfill the purpose of the study, a sample of 94 undergraduate students of accountancy sat for a standardized sample of key english testing (ket). sixty-two students whose scores fell one standard deviatio...

RNA interference (RNAi) has just made it through the pipeline to clinical trials. However, in order for RNAi to serve as an ideal personalized therapeutics and be clinically approved-safe, specific, and potent strategies must be devised for efficient delivery of RNAi payloads to specific cell types, which despite the immense potential, remains a challenge. Through evaluating the recent reported...

abstractacquiring vocabulary, as a significant and challenging part of language learning process, has always been consistent with reading. in this study, the researchers examined the effect of enhanced extensive reading on efl learners’ incidental acquisition of english vocabulary, with specific focus on phrasal verbs. twenty five homogenized participants were selected and divided into two grou...

In this article, Caroline Brown, a literature professor who focuses on American and African Diasporic writing, and Alexia Pollack, a biology professor with expertise in neuropharmacology, recount their experiences teaching across the disciplines in one another's respective classrooms, finding points of intersection and divergence, and creating classroom dialogues from the resultant encounters. ...

This study was aimed at investigating the effect of collaborative assessment, as compared to that of static assessment, on the EFL learners’ reading comprehension, metacognitive strategies, and critical thinking. In this mixed-methods research design study, 62 intermediate EFL learners out of a population of 79 English language learners, were randomly selected and divided into two groups of exp...

This study was an attempt to investigate whether teaching critical reading strategies had any significant effect on intermediate EFL learners’ vocabulary retention. To fulfill the purpose of this study, 72 male and female students within the age range of 17 to 32 years studying at Farzan and Farzanegan language schools in Tehran at intermediate level were selected from a total number of 114 par...
