Improving Students’ Mastery of Vocabulary Through Flip Book Approach

Many students find it hard to acquire and convey messages due to the lack of mastery in vocabulary. Since vocabulary plays a major role as the basic requirement to learning a language, its mastery became vital in learning English. On the other hand, lack of vocabulary impedes students’ understanding in reading comprehension texts especially in second language classrooms. Therefore, this study was conducted in order to obtain information regarding the effectiveness of using flip book in increasing Year 3 pupils’ mastery of vocabulary in English. This study investigated the use of flip book approach in helping the students to improve vocabulary through fun and meaningful learning. 15 participants were involved in the action research who were selected from a suburban school in Malaysia. Survey, written documents and field notes were used as the medium of data collection. The results showed significant positive changes in the performance of the students from time to time. Flip book approach was found to help the weak students who faced problems in understanding the meaning of the vocabulary taught in the classrooms. This study suggests that students need to enhance the mastery of the vocabulary in order to have a good grasp of the language including the four skills: listening, speaking, reading and writing.

This study examined the spontaneous utterances of first-grade inner-city children in whole-language classrooms in two urban sites. Data were gathered across the first-grade year for 12 learners who were observed twice-weekly across the school year. The context for each utterance was documented in field notes recording instructional context, learner behavior, and social interactions. Three selection criteria were used for utterances; spontaneity, being embedded in acts of reading and writing, and explanatory value. The 87 categorized utterances revealed five trends in terms of learner perceptions of beginning reading and writing: (a) nearly half of the utterances were metacognitive statements reporting learner self-appraisal and self-management; (b) learners were concerned with sound/symbol relations and argued with peers about them; (c) hypotheses about reading reflected learner patterns of development, teacher demonstrations, and classroom experiences; (d) learners paid close attention to patterns in letters and words, and (e) learners' interpretations of their whole-language classrooms included notions about the interrelatedness of reading and writing.

Developing Readers

This study examined (a) the identification of various reading groups across languages in Chinese (L1) adolescents learning English as a second language (ESL), in terms of their word-reading and reading comprehension skills, (b) overlap in reading group membership across languages, and (c) the performance of the various reading groups on reading-related language comprehension measures in English. The participants were 246 eighth-grade students from an English-immersion program in a middle school in China. Latent profile analysis identified three reading groups in each language: (a) a typically developing reader group with average or above-average word-reading and reading comprehension, (b) a group with poor decoding/word-reading skills and weak reading comprehension, and (c) a group with poor reading comprehension in the absence of poor decoding/word reading. The overlap in profile characteristics across languages for typically developing readers and poor decoders was high (about 68% for typically developing readers and 54% for poor decoders), whereas the overlap for being poor comprehenders in each language was moderate (about 37%). Furthermore, poor decoders in either language performed more poorly than the typically developing and poor comprehender groups on word reading in the other language, while poor comprehenders in either language performed more poorly than the typically developing and poor decoder groups on reading comprehension in the other language. The comparison of the reading groups’ performance on English reading-related language comprehension measures showed that poor comprehenders and poor decoders performed worse than typically developing readers. Implications for identification and instruction of ESL children with reading difficulties are discussed.
