PHRASE READING: ITS IMPACT ON EFL ORAL READING FLUENCY AND READING COMPREHENSION
Journal Title: European Journal of Business and Social Sciences - Year 2014, Vol 2, Issue 11
Abstract
The aim of this study was to examine the effectiveness of phrase reading on EFL English majors’ oral reading fluency and reading comprehension. Forty-four junior students were conveniently selected and assigned to two groups: experimental group and comparison group. Phrase-reading instruction was presented to experimental students while no training was given to those in the comparison group. The results revealed that students in the treatment group significantly outperformed those in the control one in reading speed and comprehension. Also, a correlation was found between oral reading fluency and reading comprehension. The results from the study provide grounds for some implications to be drawn in terms of reading strategies instruction.
