Two experiments were conducted to explore the efficacy of instruction with third-grade subjects in processing metaphors based on the principles of the direct explicit teaching of reading comprehension and current metaphor theory. In Experiment 1, process instruction was validated. In Experiment 2, process instruction was compared to traditional basal instruction in the context of a unit on metaphor. Statistically significant differences were found in favor of process instruction. The psychological processes involved in metaphorical interpretation are discussed and directions for future research suggested.

The present study investigated the effects of Reciprocal Teaching of Reading (RTR) and Cooperative Integrated Reading and Composition (CIRC) on the reading comprehension of Iranian EFL intermediate students. After administering the Preliminary English Test (PET) to a total population of 53, this researcher selected an almost homogeneous group of 42 Iranian intermediate students and randomly assigned them to two groups of CIRC and RTR techniques – 21 students per group. Based on their scores, both classes were divided into 7 almost heterogeneous teams - three members each. Both groups received the same instruction for five weeks and the course lasted for 15 sessions of 90 minutes. Whereas the RTR group experienced their reading course via RTR, which emphasizes explicit teaching of reading strategies, the other group experienced their reading course through CIRC. Upon the end of the treatment, a PET was administered to both groups as post-test. The scores of the post-test were compared with those of the on pre-test. Results showed that RTR had a more significant effect on the improvement of reading comprehension of the participants. The factors that led to the results of the study and the pedagogical implications for EFL teachers, syllabus designers and materials developers are discussed. In addition, she suggests recommendations for further research.
