The decline in reading motivation that has typically been observed in Iranian universities is thus a serious concern for Iranian EFL learners. The aim of this study was to promote the reading literacy of Iranian English as foreign language (EFL) learners. A total number of 285 participants from six different fields of study (social sciences, math, primary education, chemistry, biology, and Persian literature) took part in this study. The researchers gave the instruments over a 2-day period; the Language Proficiency Test was given on day one and the Motivation for Reading Questionnaire (MRQ) and the Reading Comprehension Test were given on day two after a 1-week interval. Participants’ responses to the reading motivation statements, reading comprehension questions, and English language proficiency questions were analyzed using the Kruskal-Wallis test, T-test, analysis of variance (ANOVA), and Chi-Square. The findings indicated that learners with higher motivation in reading comprehension performed much better in reading comprehension than other learners with lower motivation. It was also demonstrated that the participants’ discipline was a significant contributing factor to the relationship between reading motivation and reading performance. The findings further proved that the higher the students’ proficiency level, the higher their reading motivation level. In sum, the present study indicated conclusively that there are different dimensions of reading motivation that relate differentially to the participants’ reading performance. The findings of this study are fruitful for both teachers and students.","PeriodicalId":37761,"journal":{"name":"Journal of College Reading and Learning","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/10790195.2020.1823911","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46964839","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}

Certain Englishes, particularly those of minoritized speakers, are stigmatized, and “standard” English is upheld as the goal of writing and literacy instruction. To better understand this disconnect, we conducted a study to examine writing and literacy instructors’ attitudes toward “standard” and “nonstandard” Englishes in the community college setting. Employing a critical discursive approach to analyze language ideologies, we discovered that instructors held beliefs that were deeply rooted in standard language ideology, including attitudes toward nonstandard Englishes that superficially expressed tolerance but which underlyingly revealed rejection through lack of appreciation and validation. We argue that professional development that focuses on developing critical language awareness is needed for instructors, which—crucially—must begin with increasing awareness of the language ideologies that govern our beliefs, as these ideologies ultimately discriminate against speakers of stigmatized languages.","PeriodicalId":37761,"journal":{"name":"Journal of College Reading and Learning","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/10790195.2020.1836938","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46734135","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}

However, the processing of multiple documents depends on readers’ prior beliefs. The present study investigated the moderating effect of prompting planning on the link between prior beliefs and multiple-documents comprehension. Eighty university students participated in the study. First, their prior beliefs, prior knowledge, and topic interest were measured. Then, participants were randomly assigned to two conditions, one prompted, in which they were asked planning questions, and one non-prompted. Afterward, participants were assigned six documents presenting conflictual positions on flu vaccination, with the instruction of reading them, writing an argumentative essay, and making trustworthiness evaluations. According to the results, prompting students had a detrimental effect on argumentative essay performance, but not on trustworthiness judgments. This effect was stronger, the higher students’ prior beliefs were and the lower their task-value motivation was.","PeriodicalId":37761,"journal":{"name":"Journal of College Reading and Learning","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-10-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/10790195.2020.1823910","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45319759","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}
