L2 Reading Comprehension

This study aims to investigate whether the use of six selected short stories throughout the duration of a 14-week course could enhance students’ reading comprehension achievement at the end of the semester. Out of the six short stories read, three were chosen as in-class assignments known as ‘Personal Reading Logs’ (hereafter, PRLs). One group of semester two Diploma students taking a reading skills course was selected through a convenience sampling method. A pre-test was conducted by having the students answer a past semester reading quiz of which the results would then be compared to their post-test (final reading exam) results. A paired samples t-test revealed no significant difference in the reading scores of the pre-test and the post-test, t (17) = -.265, p > .05. Since the p-value was bigger than 0.05, this indicated that the mean reading score of the post-test (M = 50.556) was not significantly higher than the mean reading score of the pre-test (M = 49.722). Therefore, the null hypothesis which stated that there was no difference in the mean score of the pre-test and post-test was retained. Overall, the result refuted the findings of other studies promoting the effectiveness of using short stories to enhance L2 reading comprehension achievement.

The findings could be summarized that generally, students from the experimental group gained better achievement than from the control group on their post-test scores. The data analysis also showed that there was a significant difference between the mean score of the pre-test (53.45) and the post-test (58.39.). Furthermore, the result of the t-test (5.707) was relatively higher than the t- table (2.018) for a 0.5 percent level of significance. It indicated that the students’ achievement was significantly improved after the treatment of using a Culture-Based Approach.

In this experimental study, Senior high school students take the Test of English as a Foreign Language reading comprehension test using test-taking strategies. One test group takes the Test of English as a Foreign Language as a Computer-Based Test (CBT), and the control group takes the Test of English as a Foreign Language as a Paper-Based Test (PBT). Each class consists of 80 senior high school students divided into 2 groups: 40 male and 40 female, respectively. The experiment was conducted during one semester. The statistical analysis used Factorial Design (2x2) using factors of Sex (Male, Female) and Test (CBT, PBT). For multiple comparison analysis, the Tukey’s method was used. To compare the statistics of the students’ pre-test and post-test scores, the paired t-test was used. From the results of analysis using factorial design, it was found that: The mean Test of English as a Foreign Language reading comprehension scores of males and females was significantly different (p-value < 0.0001); the female mean was higher than the male mean; there was no significant difference between the mean scores of CBT and PBT testing; and there was no interaction between sex and test type. From the analysis results of pre-test and post-test scores using the paired t-test, the difference was very significant (p-value < 0.0001). These results indicate that the Test of English as a Foreign Language reading comprehension scores of students in in both groups (experimental and control), are increased.
