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.

Reading Comprehension Skills

This study examined how vocabulary, syntactic knowledge, and orthographic knowledge are related to comprehension monitoring and whether comprehension monitoring mediates the relations between these language skills and reading comprehension. Eighty-nine Chinese children were assessed on their vocabulary, syntactic knowledge, orthographic knowledge, and comprehension monitoring in Grade 1. Their reading comprehension skills were assessed in Grade 1 and Grade 3. Results showed that in Grade 1, comprehension monitoring mediated the relations between vocabulary and syntactic knowledge and reading comprehension. For Grade 3 reading comprehension, syntactic knowledge in Grade 1 was the only significant predictor. These findings indicate that multiple language skills make direct and indirect contributions via comprehension monitoring to Chinese reading comprehension, and the relations would change as children’s reading skills develop.

Results revealed there are statistically significant differences at (α ≤ 0.01) in the total average score of the post-test between the first experimental group and the control group in favor of the first experimental group that learns by KWL strategy. Additionally, the study results showed that there are statistically significant differences at (α ≤ 0.01) in the total average score of the post-test between the second experimental group and the control group in favor of the second experimental group that learns by SQ3R strategy. Also, the study results revealed that there are statistically significant differences at (α ≤ 0.01) in the total average score of the post-test between the first and second experimental groups in favor of the first experimental group. In the light of these results, the researcher introduced some recommendations such as designing some training courses for teachers to encourage them to use these strategies.

In Indonesia, Arabic is a foreign language; in keeping with the need, the Arabic language is taught more seriously alongside knowledge teaching. Nevertheless, learning a foreign language (Arabic) is not as easy as learning the mother tongue. Some obstructions must be coped with, such as ashwat science, grammar, and vocabulary. In addition, difficulties also come from students or teachers themselves, learning methods, materials, and teaching facilities. Therefore, the author examines students' reading comprehension skills with the research title “The Use of Cooperative Integrated Reading and Composition (CIRC) Method to Enhance Arabic Reading Comprehension Skills for Students of VIII Aisyah Class in Even Semester at Darul Fattah Quran Junior High School of Bandar Lampung in the 2019/2020 Academic Year” The type of research employed was Classroom Action Research (CAR). This research was carried out at Darul Fattah Quran Junior High School, Bandar Lampung, in Arabic class VIII subjects in the even semester of the 2019/2020 academic year. The study results revealed that using the Cooperative Integrated Reading and Composition (CIRC) method could enhance students' Arabic reading comprehension skills as evidenced by the mean value obtained in the first cycle of 76.82, categorized as adequate. However, it experienced a slight decrease of 0.30 points, equivalent to 0.39% in the second cycle, to 76.52 categorized as adequate.
