Volitional Strategies

Student’s reading skill is deemed vitally important to attain high academic achievements. The results of the previous studies, however, show that Indonesian students' reading skill is still unsatisfying due to their low motivation. The purpose of this study is to address this problem of students’ motivation by examining the effectiveness of a volitional strategy through metacognitive development to students of Islamic Junior High School [Madrasah Tsanawiyah] in Indonesia. A quasi-experimental method with a factorial design is used in this research. Indicators for increasing students’ reading motivation come from Cambria and Guthrie (2010). Measures of increased motivation to read with the volitional strategy were done through metacognitive development which is based on self-monitoring and awareness of reading skills mastery. This study concludes that the volitional strategy through metacognitive development is proved effective in increasing students’ motivation for reading, students with both low and high reading skills. This has implications for the efforts to foster motivation for reading by intensively using the strategy for Madrasah Tsanawiyah education contexts.

This study was conducted to know whether or not the use of Information Gap Activities improves students’ accuracy in speaking skill that covers three elements of accuracy; vocabulary, pronunciation, and grammar; and to know whether or not the use of Information Gap Activities improves students’ literal comprehension in reading skill. This research applied a quasi-experimental design; the nonequivalent control group design. It used two groups; experimental groups and control group. The data obtained from the test was analyzed quantitatively and then its’ result was compared with t-table to know whether they were significantly different or not. The data showed students’ mean score of accuracy in speaking skill and literal comprehension in reading skill improved after teaching by using Information Gap Activities. In experimental class, the students’ accuracy of pretest was 1.55 and improved to be 3.06 in posttest, students’ literal comprehension of protest was 0.82 and posttest was 3.21. In control class, the students’ accuracy was 1.90 for pretest and 2.32 for posttest; students’ literal comprehension was 1.63 for pretest 2.27.  These findings indicate that the mean score of pre-test was greater than pretest for that both class. However, the students’ mean score in experimental was greater than control class where accuracy (3.06>2.37) and literal comprehension (3.21>2.27). It meant that implementing Information Gap activities were effective to improve the students’ speaking and reading skills.Keywords: Speaking and reading skills, accuracy, literal comprehension, Information Gap Activities

Reading skill is important especially for non-English departments students like those of Information Technology Department at State Polytechnic of Malang. However, based on the observation and the results of the tests, the students showed low performance and motivation in reading English written texts even though the texts were on IT related subjects. Therefore, the students were introduced to Kit-Built Concept Mapping to help them overcome the problems. This study is Classroom Action Research (CAR) to analyze the implementation of the method to help the students improve their reading skills as well as motivation to read. There were some procedures they had to follow and some tests to do in this study. This study was said to be successful and stopped when the students’ scores met the criteria of success previously determined, namely more than 50% of them had the average score more than 66 or B in accordance with the State Polytechnic of Malang Academic Handbook. After the first and second cycles, the average scores obtained showed an improvement both in the first and second cycles. Hence, after the two average scores were analyzed by the paired t-test it was found that there was no significant difference between them. Accordingly, it can be said that this method was not fully successful in improving the students' reading skills even though from the questionnaire and interview showed the students’ interests and motivation to read English written texts more than before.

This study is motivated by many expert opinions which state that the students' reading motivation in Indonesia still needs to be increased. The researcher tries to answer the problem by trying out a Dramatization Strategy in reading learning with the aim of increasing reading motivation. This strategy is carried out by developing students' cognitive and metacognitive abilities. The experimental method with a factorial design is chosen to determine the effectiveness of the Dramatization Strategy, either for readers with high- or low-level reading comprehension. The data sources of this study are 101 students of Madrasah Tsanawiyah in Bandung Regency and Bandung City. The results of the study show that the Dramatization Strategy is effective in increasing reading motivation, especially for improving reading skills and for social interaction. The implication of the study is the need for the application of the dramatization strategy by adjusting the teachers’ insights and abilities in identifying students' reading motivation.

This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of reciprocal teaching (RT) in improving high school female students’ attitudes toward reading in a second language as the results might shed light on effective teaching practices in the L2 classrooms. To this end, a self-report questionnaire was developed and validated by the researcher. A quasi-experimental design was used, whereby the study sample was divided into two groups, experimental and control. The experimental group was taught reading in English classes by means of RT strategies, whereas the matched control group was taught reading by means of traditional instructive techniques. Both groups completed the self-report questionnaire on reading skills and motivation during term time, ensuring that the participants in the experimental group completed the questionnaire within ten weeks of the intervention. The findings show significant correlations between RT strategies and both reading comprehension and motivation to read, and are also effective in improving students’ perception of their reading skills and motivation to read. Accordingly, the study recommends other researchers to investigate the effect of RT on students' performance and considering implementing RT with the use of technology in English as foreign language (EFL) classrooms.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of using Prezi on Al Zaytoonah students’ performance in French Language reading skill. To achieve the purpose of the study, a pre/post-test was constructed to measure students’ performance in French language reading skill. The sample of the study comprised 128 students from Al Zaytoonah University and was distributed into two sections, which were selected purposefully. The sample of the study was distributed into two groups (one experimental and one control groups). The experimental group’s students were taught the reading skill using Prezi while the control groups’ students were taught using the traditional way. The sample of the study was 64 students in the experimental group and 64 students in the control group. Those groups were distributed into two purposefully selected sections in public schools in Amman. The results of the study showed a variance in the means of the achievement test according to group, it also showed that there were statistically significant differences on the achievement test due to the Strategy variable. There were statistically significant differences between using Prezi Strategy and the Current Strategy in favor of the Prezi Strategy, and there was no statistically significant difference in the students’ achievement due to gender. There was no statistically significant difference due to the interaction between gender and group. The researchers recommend that researchers focus on new teaching strategies and conduct more studies related this topic. They also recommend that other researchers conduct studies and focus on the role play strategy.
