摘要

目的学生在一个班级中进行混合能力学习对所有教育工作者来说都是一个挑战,特别是在英语作为外语(EFL)的环境中。定时阅读活动(TRA)是一种可以帮助教育者在这种情境下满足学生学习需求的活动。本研究调查了TRA在提高英语学生的阅读率和阅读理解方面的有效性,并使他们意识到他们可能使用的潜在错误的阅读策略。设计/方法/方法为沙特一所大学的一组预科学生设计了课堂干预。研究样本包括一个完整的29名学生的班级。数据收集了学生阅读率和阅读理解的前后测试以及进度表。此外,本研究还采用问卷调查的方式来确定学生的阅读策略。结果表明:英语混合能力学生的阅读理解能力和阅读率普遍得到了提高,快速阅读策略错误使用的意识得到了提高。独创性/价值本研究的结果支持在英语混合能力班中使用TRA作为补习阅读活动。

Timed reading activity for developing EFL students' reading skills in mixed-ability classes
PurposeStudents of mixed-ability learning together in one class is a challenge for all educators, especially in English as foreign language (EFL) contexts. Timed reading activity (TRA) is an activity that can help educators address the learning needs of students in such a context. The present study investigated the effectiveness of the TRA in enhancing EFL students' reading rate and reading comprehension as well as in making them aware of potentially wrong reading strategies that they may be using.Design/methodology/approachA classroom intervention was designed for a group of preparatory year (PY) students at a Saudi university. The study sample consisted of one intact class of 29 students. Data were collected from pre- and post-tests of students' reading rate and reading comprehension as well as progress charts. In addition, a questionnaire was used to identify the reading strategies used by the students.FindingsThe results showed that the TRA generally enhanced the reading comprehension and the reading rate of EFL mixed-ability students as well as raised their awareness of their use of wrong fast reading strategies.Originality/valueThe results of the study support the use of TRA as a remedial reading activity in EFL mixed-ability classes.
