Penggunaan strategi kemahiran membaca di kalangan pelajar adalah salah satu faktor yang menyumbang kepada pencapaian akademik pelajar dalam bidang pengajian mereka. Walau bagaimanapun, banyak kajian menunjukkan bahawa penggunaan strategi kemahiran membaca dalam kalangan pelajar pengajian Islam adalah mengecewakan. Oleh itu, tujuan kajian ini adalah untuk menilai keberkesanan modul pembelajaran kendiri strategi pemahaman membaca teks bahasa Arab yang telah dibangunkan untuk membantu mereka menguasai kemahiran membaca bahasa Arab dengan lebih berkesan. Modul ini telah direka dan dibangunkan untuk membantu pembaca meningkatkan kepantasan dan ketepatan memahami bacaan bahasa Arab, untuk kegunaan pelajar, guru atau pembaca yang telah mempunyai asas bahasa Arab seperti asas nahw, sarf dan balaghah. Pengajaran strategi membaca dalam modul tersebut diadaptasi daripada strategi membaca SQ3R (survey, question, read, recite and review). Instrumen kajian yang digunakan adalah sebuah modul pembelajaran kendiri strategi pemahaman membaca bahasa Arab yang dikenali sebagai MPK SPMBA, dan ujian pencapaian yang terdiri daripada satu set soalan ujian pra kefahaman teks dan satu set solan ujian pasca kefahaman teks, dan satu set soal selidik penggunaan strategi membaca yang diuji selepas ujian pra kefahaman dan pasca kefahaman teks. Data dianalisis menggunakan ujian t untuk menunjukkan perbezaan antara pemboleh ubah kajian menggunakan program SPSS-Windows versi 20.0. Penemuan kajian menunjukkan bahawa penggunaan MPK SPMBA mempunyai kesan positif dalam meningkatkan kepantasan dan ketepatan pemahaman bacaan teks bahasa Arab dalam kalangan peserta kajian. Penggunaan modul pembelajaran kendiri ini adalah relevan dengan tuntutan Dasar Pendidikan Nasional Malaysia yang bertujuan untuk " memastikan setiap murid Islam berpeluang mengikuti Pendidikan Islam dan bahasa Arab yang berkualiti". The use of reading skills strategies among students is one of the factors contributing to students' reading and academic achievement in their field of study. However, many studies show that the use of reading skills strategies among Islamic students is disappointing. The purpose of this study is therefore to evaluate the effectiveness of a self-study module on Arabic language reading comprehension strategies that have been developed to help them master Arabic reading skills more effectively. The module is called the Self-Learning Module of Arabic Reading Comprehension Strategy (MPK SPMBA). This module has been designed and developed to help readers improve their reading speed and accuracy in reading Arabic material. The MPK SPMBA is specially designed for students, teachers or readers with basic Arabic language such as the basics of nahw, sarf and balaghah. It comes with the teaching of reading strategies adapted from the SQ3R reading strategies (survey, question, read, recite and review). The research instrument used in this study is a module known as the MPK SPMBA and achievement test consisting of two sets of text comprehension test questions, pre and post test, and a set of questionnaire using the reading strategy tested before the pre and post test. text comprehension. Data were analyzed using t-test to show differences between study variables using SPSS-Windows program version 20.0. The findings of the study indicate that the use of SPMBA MPK has a positive effect on improving comprehension and reading speed of Arabic texts among study participants. The study's findings suggest that the MPK SPMBA should be used as a self-directed teaching tool in enhancing the ability of Islamic students to understand Arabic text reading more accurately and quickly. The use of this self-learning module is relevant to the demands of the Malaysian National Education Policy which seeks to "ensure that every Muslim student has the opportunity to pursue quality Islamic Education and Arabic".

Reading Comprehension Skills

AbstractTranslators and language teachers are cultural and intercultural mediators, facilitators of intercultural transfers and border crossings between cultures. The abilities to understand, interpret, and produce written texts appropriately play an essential role in these professions. In the process of translation, source-language texts have to be understood and translated using the most appropriate target-language equivalents. Reading skills and awareness of reading strategies are equally essential for language teachers, who are expected to guide language learners in developing these skills. In this study, we intend to examine the reading habits and reading strategies used by a group of Hungarian translator and teacher trainees when dealing with texts written in English. Their reading comprehension performance will be assessed with a test and compared with their ability to translate English texts into Hungarian. Based on the literature and our personal experience in language teaching, teacher training, and translator training, we assume that students preparing for the above mentioned professions have a well-developed reading strategy awareness and that their reading comprehension skills in English strongly influence the ability to translate texts into their native language.

This empirical survey investigates the perceptions of English language teachers towards the role of content schemata in reading comprehension among Saudi EFL learners. Furthermore, it also attempts to explore the use of appropriate classroom strategies employed by English language teachers to activate content schemata to enhance learners’ reading comprehension. A modified Likert-scale strongly-agree to strongly-disagree questionnaire was administered to 61 male and female EFL faculty from English Language Center (ELC), Taif University to generate data. The findings have reinforced that background knowledge of Saudi EFL learners help them significantly in reading faster with better understanding. It has also been reported that pre-reading strategies of brainstorming, classroom discussions about the topic and questioning are the most favored ones to activate Saudi EFL learners’ background knowledge. It has also been learnt that while-reading strategies of directing the students’ attention to signal words, main idea, important phrases, titles, subtitles and effectively linking the target text to their students’ cultural and social experiences also contribute towards reading comprehension. The findings have also revealed that English language teachers consider low English language proficiency and poor reading skills of Saudi ELF leaners as well as the lack of appropriate teaching aids as the major obstacles in activating the content schemata. Several recommendations have been forwarded which have significant pedagogical implications in materializing much sought-after goal of effective ELT in the KSA by ensuring better reading skills among Saudi EFL learners.

This study synthesized the correlation between reading strategy and reading comprehension of four categories based on Weinstein and Mayer's reading strategy model. The current meta-analysis obtained 57 effect sizes that represented 21,548 readers, and all selected materials came from empirical studies published from 1998 to 2019. Results showed that reading strategies in all the four categories had a similar correlation effect size with reading comprehension. The correlation between monitoring strategy and reading comprehension was significantly larger in first language scripts than second language scripts. Affective strategy and elaboration strategy had an independent effect on reading comprehension, which was not significantly moderated by selected moderators. Results suggested that the reading strategies of all the four categories may have a similar contribution to text comprehension activities.
