{"title":"Comparing first and second language reading: the use of metacognitive strategies among Norwegian students","authors":"Nicole Louise Busby","doi":"10.5617/ADNO.5579","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.5617/ADNO.5579","url":null,"abstract":"Metacognitive awareness is one of the key predictors of successful reading, in particular for second language and academic reading. This article presents a study that investigated Norwegian university students’ metacognitive awareness when reading academic texts in Norwegian (L1) and English (L2). 316 students answered a questionnaire which included a 30-item survey of reading strategies and self-ratings of reading proficiency in both languages. The analysis reveals a surprisingly similar awareness of reading strategies in L1 and L2. The main differences found were in the use of two specific reading strategies: reading more slowly and using resources such as dictionaries. Despite overall similarities in the approach to L1 and L2 reading, participants rated their own proficiency as much higher in L1 reading than L2. Regression models show significant associations between self-ratings of proficiency and the number and type of reading strategies reported, particularly in the L2, demonstrating that there is an important connection between these. Research on other populations has shown a much higher use of reading strategies in L2. However, the similarity in approaches to L1 and L2 reading among the university students in this study may reflect a higher level of L2 proficiency among these students, as well as high expectations of proficiency, meaning they do not feel a need to use reading strategies for decoding L2 text. Instead, these students may benefit from additional training in the use of higher level reading strategies to improve their comprehension of L2 academic texts.Keywords: metacognitive awareness, academic reading, L2 reading, English as a second language, reading strategiesSammenligning av første- og andrespråkslesing: bruk av metakognitive strategier blant norske universitetsstudenterSammendragMetakognitiv bevissthet er avgjørende for gode leseferdigheter, spesielt når det gjelder leseferdigheter i andrespråk og akademisk lesing. Denne artikkelen presenterer sentrale funn fra en studie som undersøkte norske universitetsstudenters metakognitive bevissthet ved lesing av akademiske tekster på norsk (L1) og engelsk (L2). 316 studenter ble bedt om å fylle ut et spørre-skjema med 30 spørsmål om lesestrategier, samt å vurdere egne leseferdigheter i begge språk. Deltakerne viser en overraskende lik bevissthet omkring bruken av lesestrategier i L1 og L2. De største forskjellene som ble funnet, angår bruken av to spesifikke lesestrategier: det å lese sakte og det å bruke ressurser som ordbøker. Til tross for generelle likheter i studentenes tilnærming til lesing i L1 og L2, vurderer deltakerne sine egne leseferdigheter som mye bedre i L1 enn i L2. Regresjonsmodeller viser signifikante sammenhenger mellom egenvurderingen av leseferdigheter og antall og type rapporterte lesestrategier, særlig i L2, noe som viser at det er en viktig relasjon mellom disse.

Klassen har en stor andel av minoritetsspråklige elever og elever fra områder med sosioøkonomiske utfordringer. Intensjonen har vært å studere hvordan sjangerpedagogikkens skriveundervisning i fire faser gir unge elever et redskap for å skrive argumenterende tekster, og om sjangerskolens pedagogikk fører til utjevning mellom sterke og svake elever. Datamaterialet vårt er observasjoner av undervisning, lærerens modelltekst, klassens fellestekst, individuelle tekster, samt semistrukturert intervju med lærer.  Fire elevtekster fra høytpresterende og lavtpresterende elever blir analysert. Analysen viser at elevene får godt utbytte av den systematiske undervisningen som sjangerpedagogikken tilbyr, og at det blir mindre forskjeller mellom elever som karakteriseres som høyt- eller lavtpresterende.

A partial study from the project Introducing genre pedagogy in three schools in TrondheimAbstractThe topic of this article is writing development among primary school pupils through the use of the genre pedagogy approach developed by the Sydney School, Australia. The study presented here followed a third-grade class over two weeks, in which the class worked with the genre argumentative text. The teacher also received training in the use of genre pedagogy in writing instruction. Many of the pupils are of minority background, and many are from areas with socio-economic challenges. The purpose of the study was twofold: First of all, it intended to investigate how the four stages of genre pedagogy writing instruction provide pupils with a tool for writing argumentative texts, and secondly, whether using genre pedagogy contributes to minimizing the gap in writing competence between strong and weak pupils. Our data material comprise class observation notes, the teacher’s model text, the target text and the students’ individual texts, as well as semi-structured interviews with the teacher. Four texts written by high-performing and low-performing pupils are analyzed. The analysis reveals that the pupils benefit from the systematic writing instruction that the genre pedagogy approach provides, and that the gap in writing competence between high-performing and low-performing pupils becomes smaller. These findings reflect other international studies in the field.

These skills and strategies are generally considered to be controlled by a global process called ‘metacognition’ (Kuhn & Dean, 2004). In this paper, I suggest that a large part of metacognition when reading has a (meta)linguistic component and hence time should be devoted to raising (meta)linguistic awareness when teaching and honing reading skills and strategies. Tasks based around a short extract from Roald Dahl’s (1982[2013]) novel The BFG are presented and discussed in order to illustrate how metalinguistic awareness might be raised in a classroom. Such tasks not only help to improve reading comprehension but have a number of additional benefits: they enhance and support the metacognitive toolkit, improve vocabulary acquisition and growth, and can bring a love of language and the fun of language play into the classroom.Keywords: metalinguistic awareness, reading comprehension, vocabulary, classroom activities, Roald DahlÅ fremme metalingvistisk bevissthet i et klasserom for å forbedre leseforståelse: eksempler fra Roald Dahls roman The BFGSammendragDet er bred enighet om at vellykket lesing trekker veksler på flere forskjellige kognitive ferdigheter og strategier tilknyttet tekstforståelse (Baker, 2002). Disse ferdighetene og strategiene hører inn under den globale prosessen ‘metakog-nisjon’ (Kuhn & Dean, 2004). I denne artikkelen argumenterer jeg for at en stor del av metakognisjonen i lesing har en (meta)lingvistisk komponent, og følgelig at tid bør vies til å utvikle (meta)lingvistisk bevissthet i undervisningen av leseferdigheter og strategier. Arbeidsoppaver basert på et kort utdrag fra Roald Dahls (1982[2013]) The BFG (The Big Friendly Giant / SVK – Store Vennlige Kjempe) presenteres og diskuteres for å illustrere hvordan metalingvistisk bevissthet kan utvikles i klasserommet. Slike arbeidsoppgaver hjelper ikke bare med å forbedre leseforståelsen, men har også flere andre fordeler: de forsterker og støtter den metakognitive verktøykassen, forbedrer både innlæring og utvidelse av ordforrådet, kan øke språkgleden og oppmuntre til lek med språk i klasserommet.Nøkkelord: metalingvistisk bevissthet, leseforståelse, vokabular, klasseroms-aktiviteter, Roald Dahl","PeriodicalId":36494,"journal":{"name":"Acta Didactica Norge","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46875025","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Larsen","doi":"10.5617/ADNO.5578","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.5617/ADNO.5578","url":null,"abstract":"AbstractThis article discusses how an increased focus on intertextuality may contribute to the development of reading skills among ESL/EFL student teachers. When we read literary texts, there is often an element of recognition and intertextuality involved. By working with what the students already know, we may facilitate the development of their aptitude for reading. The rationale for approaching literature in this way is to suggest answers to the underlying question: How can we work with literature in the classroom to make it worthwhile and stimulating for more students to read literary texts? A group of teacher training students of English and their teacher studied excerpts from an example novel, When Jays Fly to Bárbmo, and its intertexts. The data were collected through a single-case study of a teacher/researcher’s observation log and field notes of the teaching scheme and group discussions in class. The students saw how narrative formulas are repeated. For instance, the students identified the Bildungsroman – portraying a young character’s identity quest – as an important genre of children and young adults’ literature. The article argues that the identification of intertextual references will help them and serve as scaffolding in the reading process. An enhanced knowledge of such intertextual traits may facilitate the development of metacognitive strategies for reading. A raised awareness among the students about the phenomenon of intertextuality is important when developing strategies for reading narrative literary texts.Keywords: ESL/EFL in Teacher Training, reading novels, intertextuality, metacognition, When Jays Fly to BárbmoEn intertekstuell tilnærming til lærerstudenters lesing av  engelskspråklig skjønnlitteraturSammendragDenne artikkelen diskuterer hvordan et større fokus på intertekstualitet kan bidra til utviklingen av leseferdigheter hos engelskstudentene i lærerutdanningen.

Ved å arbeide med det studentene allerede kjenner til, kan vi legge til rette for utvikling av deres leseferdigheter.

This is an effective pedagogical method for enabling pre-service teachers to explore what they can discover in a literary text, and assess how deeply they can read. The study is based on a course in British culture and literature for student teachers at the middle- and secondary-school levels. It was given at a university college in Norway in the autumn term 2016. The students were in their second and third years and had completed a short, introductory course in literary analysis the previous year. I analyse the students’ reading logs from an “envisionment” perspective. Envisionment refers to the picture of the world that one has at a particular point in time and how it affects reading comprehension. Judith Langer argues that there are five reading stances. The students’ reading- log comments have been categorized according to these five levels. This makes it possible to ascertain if, and to what extent, the students’ reading has become deeper. The students themselves can also see how their comments have changed. Such a process promotes metacognitive thinking. In my follow-up research, I shall develop the project by giving the students more time to discuss one another’s reading logs in class, and reflect on how the method could be applied in the school classroom. The increased self-reflection will benefit both the students themselves and their future pupils.Keywords: reading, reading logs, metacognition, Judith Langer, Reader ResponseMetakognition och “Reader Response”: läslogböcker i Judith Langers “envisionment” klassrumSammanfattningMin artikel diskuterar fördelarna med att använda läslogböcker i lärarutbildning, och mer specifikt i samband med litteraturundvisning där “Reader Response” är huvudmetod. Detta är en effektiv pedagogisk metod för att uppmuntra lärarkandidater att fundera på hur de läser, vad de kan se i en litterär text, och hur djupt de kan läsa. Studiet baseras på en kurs i brittisk kultur och litteratur för blivande mellanstadie- och högstadielärare som gavs vid en mindre högskola i Norge höstterminen 2016. Studenterna var andra, respektive tredje årsstudenter och hade genomgått en kort introduktionskurs i litteraturanalys året innan.  Jag analsyerar studenternas läslogböcker utifrån Judith Langers teori om “envisionment”, dvs. den världsbild som man har vid ett specifikt tillfälle och hur denna påverkar läsförståelse. Langer menar att det finns fem möjliga läsnivåer. Läslogböckerna har lästs utifrån dessa fem nivåer. På det sättet kan läraren se om och i så fall i vilken mån studenterna har utvecklat sin läsning samt om denna har blivit djupare.

Reading is a basic skill in all subjects in the Norwegian National Curriculum and involves engaging in texts, understanding, applying and reflecting on what is read – activities requiring higher level thinking. My research questions are: 1) How can “narrative transportation theory” (Gerrig, 1993) help pre-service ESL teachers understand the psychological reading process? and 2) How can insight into this theory motivate them to become better reading teachers, able to faciliate deep learning through literature? I use Julie Bertagna’s science fiction trilogy (Exodus 2002; Zenith 2007; Aurora 2011) to illustrate how narrative transportation works, highlighting the literary qualities that trigger pleasurable reading through immersion into the storyworld. This choice is based on Sections 1.5 and 2.5.3 in the new “Overarching section – values and principles for mandatory education” (2017) of the national curriculum, which instructs schools to teach pupils about their responsibility in contributing to an ecologically sustainable world order. The trilogy thematizes climate change and can affect behavior and attitudes toward this issue positively; it activates a wide spectrum of emotions, facilitating persuasion. Teachers must, however, remember that reading for pleasure is not enough; they must use metacognitve reading strategies in their teaching of literature to ensure deep learning and reach curricular goals.  Keywords: teenage literature, narrative transportation theory, metacogniton, metacognitive reading strategies, Julie Bertagna’s Exodus Trilogy, ecological sustainability, ESL, teaching readingÅ forstå psykologiske leseprosesser: Lærerstudenten som leselærer i engelskfagetSammendragDenne artikkelen handler om lærerstudenters metakognitive ferdigheter i sammenheng med leseundervisningen i engelskfaget. Lesing er en av de grunnleggende ferdighetene i alle fag i Kunnskapsløftet. Dette innebærer å være engasjert i, forstå, bruke og reflektere over det som leses, samt bruk av lesestrategier – dette krever metakognitiv tenkning. Forskningsspørsmålene er: 1) Hvordan kan “narrativ transport-teori” (Gerrig, 1993) hjelpe lærerstudenter i engelskfaget til å forstå den psykologiske leseprosessen? og 2) Hvordan kan kunnskap om denne teorien motivere dem til å utvikle seg som lærere i lesing, med evnen til å fostre dybdelæring gjennom litteratur?

Key ways that L2 readers differ from L1 readers are initially addressed, high-lighting the needs of L2 readers. Following Grabe (2009), L2 readers would benefit from a balanced approach to developing their reading skills, one that incorporates both implicit and explicit teaching and learning. Implicit learning involves plenty and frequent reading input, for example through extensive reading. Explicit learning involves, for example, the development of learners’ metacognitive and metalinguistic awareness, and an understanding of what it means to be a strategic reader. Benefits and challenges involved in the implementation of the three approaches are addressed. With the exception of RT, no research is known to exist at present on how these approaches have been adapted to L2 contexts outside of Norway. The research in Norway shows that each approach can help English as a foreign language (EFL) learners to develop their reading skills both implicitly and explicitly, as well as their metacognition, but that there are challenges, especially of a practical nature, involved in their implementation. Of the three, RT is arguably the easiest to apply to an L2 context.Keywords: L1/L2 reading approaches, implicit/explicit learning, metacognitionLesing i andrespråksklasser: Overveielser over førstespråkstilnærminger i andrespråkskonteksterSammendragDenne artikkelen går gjennom forskning på hvordan tre tilnærminger til lese- og skriveopplæring i førstespråket er blitt anvendt i andrespråksundervisning i Norge: The Early Years Literacy Programme (EYLP), lese- og skriveverksted, og leseteater. Innledningsvis diskuteres viktige forskjeller mellom førstespråkslesing og andrespråkslesing, med vekt på andrespråksleseres behov. Med utgangspunkt i Grabe (2009), vil andrespråkslesere dra fordel av en balansert tilnærming til å utvikle leseferdigheter, en tilnærming som inkluderer både implisitt og eksplisitt læring. Implisitt læring innebærer mye og hyppig lesing, for eksempel gjennom ekstensiv lesing. Eksplisitt læring innebærer for eksempel utvikling av elevenes metalingvistiske og metakognitive bevissthet og en forståelse av hva det betyr å være en strategisk leser. Fordeler og utfordringer ved å implementere disse tre tilnærmingene blir omtalt.

It approaches the question in terms of the literary scholar’s contribution to the professional education and practice of school teachers in Sweden. The article combines metacognitive analyses of disciplinary ways of thinking with profession theory to reflect on the literary content knowledge upper secondary school teachers need for their teaching practice. It outlines key differences between the understanding of what reading literature entails in academia and in upper secondary education, respectively, and it points out that current academic practices for teaching literature rely on a narrow understanding of what school teachers need to know about literature and literary reading to exercise their professional judgement concerning literature in the language classroom. Advocating a change in our academic teaching practices, the article proposes that literary debates over reading also be incorporated and that the principles and procedures underpinning professional modes of reading literature be explicitly articulated. This means verbalising underlying theoretical assumptions about the value of literature and of reading it and explicating interpretative conventions and tools, alongside the skills involved in literary reading. Such a teaching practice, the article posits, is not merely key to developing school teachers’ content knowledge regarding literature and reading. It is also a prerequisite for the development of their pedagogical reasoning when it comes to the uses of literature and to the affordances and limitations of literary reading in the school classroom.Keywords: literary reading, teacher education, metacognition, professional practice, disciplinary thinking, content knowledge, upper secondary schoolLäsning och professionen:Om litteraturutbildningen för skollärare i engelskaSammanfattningArtikeln tar sig an frågan om hur akademiska engelskämnen bäst kan undervisa litteratur och litteraturläsning för gymnasielärarstudenter i engelska.

Methodologically, the study is a research synthesis, where the aim is to systematize current research findings and offer an overview of different types of picturebooks, and how they build literary and metacognitive competence. My thesis is that picturebooks are crucial in that process. The analysis focuses on the metacognitive affordances that can be found in picturebooks directed at different age groups/competence levels. Both the verbal and visual dimensions of the text are analyzed with the help of picturebook and comic book theory (iconotext, sequentiality). The results show that early concept books are surprisingly abstract; they stimulate the child’s aesthetic-affective response by using clear colours and easily discernible shapes. In the next stage, things (nouns) from the child’s close environment are represented. Naming and identifying are crucial activities at this stage. Verb-oriented concept books follow; these typically focus on simple actions from the child’s lifeworld, such as getting dressed, or eating. Next, we find narrative picturebooks, in which the fundamentals of story, plot, and characterization are introduced. Finally, the potential for advanced storytelling is explored with regard to symbolism, irony, and character development.Keywords: picturebooks, early concept books, metacognition, iconotext, narrative picturebooksBilderbokens berättelser: Ett metakognitivt perspektiv på bilderböckerSammanfattningDen här artikeln bygger på nyare forskning om literacyutveckling och metacognition, och kartlägger utvecklingslinjer från tidiga begreppsböcker riktade till spädbarn till bilderböcker som vänder sig till barn och tonåringar. Metodologiskt är arbetet ett forskningssyntes, där målet är att systematisera forskningsrön, erbjuda en ålders- och/eller utvecklingsindelad bilderboksöversikt, samt påvisa hur dessa böcker kan bygga litterär och metakognitiv kompetens. Min tes är att bilderböcker spelar en avgörande roll i den processen. Analysen sätter fokus på de metakognitiva meningserbjudanden som kan återfinnas i olika bilderböcker. Såväl bild och skrift analyseras med hjälp av bilderboks- och serieteori. Resultaten visar att tidiga begreppsböcker är förvånansvärt abstrakta; de syftar främst till at stimulera barnets estetisk-affektiva respons genom användande av klara primärfärger och tydliga kontraster. I nästa skede återges saker och ting (substantiv) från barnets närmiljö. Verb-orienterade bilderböcker följer; dessa visar framför allt aktiviteter som barnet kan känna igen, som att äta, klä sig, eller gå och lägga sig. I nästa steg återfinns berättande bilderböcker. Där hittar vi berättandets grundbegrepp såsom handling, karaktär, konflikt. Till sist, i de mest sofistikerade bilderböckerna hittar vi symbolik, ironi, fördjupad ka","PeriodicalId":36494,"journal":{"name":"Acta Didactica Norge","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-05-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47503215","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
