Full textFederal legislation now requires that all children participate in large-scale, statewide assessments in English in an effort to increase accountability and bolster student achievement (Abedi, Hofstetter, & Lord, 2004; Hass, 2002). Students labeled as "English language learners" (ELLs) consistently score dramatically lower on English language and literacy assessments than their native speaking peers (Au & Raphael, 2000; National Center for Educational Statistics, 2011). Additionally, most mainstream teachers are not adequately prepared to meet the linguistic challenges that ELLs face in classroom settings (Lucas & Villegas, 2011). Reading aloud to bilingual students, specifically using components of a shared reading model (Holdaway, 1979), potentially provides an avenue for meaningful language and literacy development. While a corpus of research exists about reading aloud with English-speaking students, there has been limited research on its use with bilingual students in classroom settings. Drawing on a sociocultural theoretical framework (Gee, 1996; Vygotsky, 1978), the Output Hypothesis of second language acquisition (Swain, 1985), ethnographic perspectives (Heath & Street, 2008), action research (Stringer, 1999) and discourse analysis (Bloome et al., 2008), this qualitative study examined the practice of four pre-service elementary teachers reading aloud English texts (fiction, expository, and poetry) to small groups of bilingual students across four grade levels. The research was conducted to study pre-service teachers' language and literacy teaching practices and pre-service teacher-bilingual student interaction patterns in read aloud contexts to better understand their potential for bilingual student language and literacy learning. Additionally, the study provided beginning teachers with professional development geared towards helping pre-service teachers to meet the unique language and literacy needs of bilingual students. It was found that pre-service teachers consistently strived to develop students' word knowledge and support text comprehension. In doing so, teachers utilized a variety of teaching practices and linguistic patterns of interaction during read alouds which varied across teachers. The argument is made that these various teacher moves and discourse patterns led to qualitatively different types of interactions and affordances for bilingual student learning. Implications for mainstream classroom teachers and teacher education programs are provided

Full textThe purpose with the work is to examine how teachers use the children book Fia och djuren (Kruusval 2007) to make mathematics visible for 5-6 year old children in preschool. We observed the teachers in a reading aloud session and then we interviewed them to get a deeper picture of how they were thinking around the subject of reading aloud and mathematics. The result of the examination shows that the teachers’ knowledge and experiences around the subject of mathematics have a crucial meaning for which form of mathematics that is visible in the reading aloud session. The result also shows that it is of great importance that the teachers’ challenges, encourage, support and discuss with the children about the mathematics which is both visible and hidden in the book.

Full textThe purpose of this thesis is to examine how literature is used in the preschools and why reading aloud is not a priority in the daily routine anymore.To achieve our goals we visited four units in three different preschools and also lead qualitative interviews with four preschool teachers. The purpose was to study how reading aloud is used in the preschools we decided to visit, and what purpose the preschool teachers thinks it has. See how reading aloud is prioritized by the preschool teachers and how they work to achieve local goals and goals contained in the curriculum.The results of the interviews and observations show that the teachers are willing to use literature in the everyday routines of the preschool, but due to obstacles in the daily routine reading aloud is right now not a possibility. Our conclusion is that the preschool teachers’ rhetoric and practice do not match.

Full textReading aloud with language development strategies is a method to develop pupils language and vocabulary, as well as to understand the read text. The object of this study is to examine how teachers experience reading fiction aloud for pupils, and how their work develops the vocabulary and language development of their pupils. The theoretical approach of the study is based on the socio-cultural perspective. Meaning that the interaction between people are the most important tool for learning. An interview study was conducted with five legitimized teachers of the Swedish language who teach at the lower level, grade 1-3. The result shows that all teachers say that they are reading aloud as part of their teaching. All five teachers stress that they are using one or more language development methods, the methods that emerged were “En Läsande Klass” and “Reading to Learn”. These methods are used in different ways depending on the purpose, and the teachers point out that they are often taking bits and pieces from them to develop and use in their teaching. The teachers experience that reading fiction aloud are contributing factors for the pupils development of vocabulary and language development.

Full textThe purpose of this study was to explore the linguistic architecture of instructional language used during first grade read aloud lessons. The participants were from the CTL Year-3 Read Aloud study. The study’s random assignment created 20 teachers in the treatment group and 19 teachers in the control group. My study investigated the variability of their teacher’s use of instructional language during direct instruction read aloud lessons. Specifically, I analyzed the following linguistic attributes: (a) clausal density, (b) number of different words, (c) words per minute, (d) percentage of maze words, and (e) number of abandoned utterances. Exploratory associations for these variables were compared against the Quality Classroom Instruction protocol (QCI), a measure of teaching effectiveness. The results of my study yielded null effects due study limitations. However, the explored area addressed a blind-spot within the literature and provided preliminary data, insight, and recommendations pertaining to the linguistic attributes of instructional language used by first grade teachers during read aloud lessons.

Full textThe study deals with the topic of reading aloud where the purpose is to investigate how teachers in grade 1 describe their work with reading aloud in teaching. The study is qualitative where five teachers have participated through semi-structured interviews. The questions for the study are: What attitude do teachers have to read aloud? Why do teachers use reading aloud? Which methods do teachers use with reading aloud? The theoretical starting point of the study is Lev Vygotsky's socio-cultural perspective, which assumes that people learn together. When students are given the opportunity to exchange thoughts with a knowledgeable person, the proximal development zone can be utilized and students can receive support in the form of scaffolding according to the theory. The result shows that the participating teachers have a positive attitude towards reading aloud. They think that reading aloud can contribute to several opportunities for students as they can learn how to approach a text, get an overview of how the language is structured and that their reading comprehension can be improved. In teaching, the teachers have several different purposes with reading aloud such as reading experience and to increase students reading comprehension. It is usual that the teachers model reading strategies by predicting, clarifying, asking questions and summarizing.

The main objective of this research is to investigate the actions of the teacher researcherin situations of interaction with a group of boys, in literacy events, as well as analyze and discuss how students and also teachers construct meanings and develop argumentation skills, reflection, collective reasoning, using the technique of Group Think-Aloud (GTA) (ZANOTTO, in press) or Verbal Protocol. In this sense, I seek grants for working with teachers in a group coordinated by me in a state school.The technique of GTA is inserted in Applied Linguistics Area. It is researched in Brazil by GEIM Study Group of Indeterminacy and Metaphor (ZANOTTO, 1995, 1998, 2008; ZANOTTO and PALMA, 2008, 2013), under the coordination of ZANOTTO and allowed the generation of research data in five experiences of reading, which were recorded, transcribed and analyzed in order to observe how students and teacher researcher constructed meanings during reading activity. In this sense, the focus is on the following research questions: (1) Howpractice of reading PAG may contribute about development of students asprotagonists of the read act? (2) How, from the analysis and discussion of the teacher researcher actions in literacy events PAG, is it possible to build a new discourse to interact with the students?The results showed ushow the interaction between teacher and students occurred;also showed how participants reasoned, constructed arguments, inferences, understanding, and how the teacher researcher orchestrated the voices of students through the literacy GTApractices, which enabled the group to respect the subjectivity of each participant, giving them voice. The analysis of theteacher researcher actions showed us the need to change from the traditional approach in the classroom, as well as mediating actions of reading as social and cultural practicesfrom the perspective of Group Think-Aloud
Esta pesquisa tem como objetivo geral investigar as ações da professora pesquisadora, em situações de interação com um grupo de meninos, num evento de letramento, assim como analisar e discutir como alunos e, também, professores constróem sentidos e desenvolvem capacidades de argumentação, reflexão, raciocínio coletivo, por meio da técnica do Pensar Alto em Grupo (PAG) (ZANOTTO, prelo) ou Protocolo Verbal, como também é chamada. Nessa direção, busco subsídios para a formação do grupo de professores sob minha coordenação em uma escola pública. A técnica do PAG está inserida na Linguística Aplicada, é pesquisada, no Brasil, pelo grupo GEIM, Grupo de Estudos da Indeterminação e da Metáfora(ZANOTTO,1998, 2008; ZANOTTO e PALMA, 1998, 2013),sob a coordenação de ZANOTTO, e possibilitou a geração dos dados de pesquisa em cinco vivências de leitura, denominadas vivências do PAG, que foramgravadas, transcritas e analisadas com a finalidade de observar como alunos e professora pesquisadora construíram sentidos durante a atividade de leitura. Nessa direção, o foco recai nas seguintes perguntas de pesquisa: (1) Como a prática de leitura do PAG pode contribuir para a formação do aluno como protagonista do ato de ler? (2) Como, partir da análise e discussão das ações da professsora pesquisadora em eventos de letramento do PAG, é possível construir um novo discurso para interagir com o aluno? Os resultados da análise dos dados revelaram como ocorreu a interação entre professora pesquisadora e alunos, além demostrarem como os participantes de pesquisa raciocinaram, como construíram argumentação, inferências, compreensão e, também, como a professora pesquisadora orquestrou as vozes dos alunospor meio da prática de letramento defendida pelo Pensar Alto em Grupo, que possibilitouao grupo respeitar a subjetividade de cada participante, dando-lhes voz. A análise das ações da professora pesquisadora mostraram a necessidade de mudança com relação à abordagem tradicional, em sala de aula, assim como a de atuar mediando leitura como prática social e cultural na perspectiva do Pensar Alto em Grupo

Full textHögläsning är en undervisningsform som förekommer sällan och som utgår till förmån för andra aktiviteter. Trots det visar forskning på att högläsning främjar språkutvecklingen hos barn. Den här undersökningen syftar därför till att bringa klarhet i vilken syn lärare har på högläsning i relation till språkutveckling, samt vad de anser om arbetsformen. Uppsatsens teoretiska ansats utgår främst från det sociokulturella perspektivet på lärande där interaktion mellan individer och språket är grundläggande faktorer för att lärande ska ske. En intervjustudie av kvalitativt slag har genomförts med aktiva lärare inom årskurserna 1-3. Tidigare forskning visar på högläsningens betydelse för språkutvecklingen och undervisningsformen har många fördelar. Viktigt är att eleverna är inkluderade, att det finns tid och att undervisningen är noga planerad med ett syfte. Resultatet visar att lärare högläser kontinuerligt men att syftet varierar. Främst säger de att stunden syftar till att vara språkutvecklande men ibland även till avkoppling. De använder olika strategier för att få eleverna delaktiga och de anser att det främst är ordförråd och läsförståelse som främjas. Några uppgav att de väljer bort högläsningen emellanåt då de menade att den tar mycket tid i anspråk.

Full textThe study deals with the topic reading aloud where the aim is to contribute knowledge of how pre-school class teachers perceive the work of reading aloud as a pedagogical tool for pupils' reading and writing development. To achieve this purpose four research questions were used: How do pre-school class teachers describe that they use reading aloud in teaching? What are the obstacles with reading aloud for students reading and writing development according to pre- school class teachers? What opportunities are there with reading aloud for students reading and writing development according to pre-school class teachers? How do pre-school class teachers view reading in relation to other activities to develop students' reading and writing development? In this study, the view of learning is based on the sociocultural perspective. Through interaction between pupils and between pupils and teachers knowledge can be developed. To collect data for this study, both a quantitative and a qualitative method were used. Data was collected through a survey and interviews. In the survey, 75 teachers participated, and in the interviews five teachers participated. In the analysis of the data, coding of keywords and thematic work was used to answer the study's research questions. The result shows that teachers in pre-school class view reading aloud as an important and complementary pedagogical tool for pupils reading and writing development. Furthermore, both opportunities and obstacles were identified. The opportunities were language development, desire to read and write and working with understanding texts. The obstacles that the teacher mentioned were mainly difficulties in adapting to the pupils’ level differences related to language, knowledge, school maturity and to interest as well as involve pupils in reading aloud activities.

Placed within the Applied Linguistic field, this thesis aims at investigating my action as a teacher in a new reading social practice, called Group Think Aloud (Zanotto, 1998). The research was developed as part of the GEIM Research Group (Indeterminacy and Metaphor Study Group), which is coordinated by Dr. Mara Sophia Zanotto (PUC-SP Pontifical Catholic University of Sao Paulo) and Dr. Heronides M. Moura (UFSC Federal University of Santa Catarina). The theoretical framework that supports this investigation encompasses studies on the teaching-learning theories based on Freire (2005) and Vigotski (1934); theories about critical literacy and critical reading as supported by Freire (1996,2005) Kleiman (2007), Soares (2006) and Solé (1998); and multiple readings as discussed by Zanotto(2008) and Kempe (2001). The study follows qualitative interpretive methodology (Bortoni-Ricardo, 2008), and uses the critical action-research (Kincheloe, 1997 and Barbier, 2004) of ethnographic basis. The instrument used to generate data was the practice of Group Think Aloud (Zanotto, 1998) used in this research both as data-generating instrument and as pedagogic tool. The research was developed with a focal group (Gatti, 2005) composed of 10 students from the 2nd and 3rd grades of High School studying in a state school in Sao Paulo. Data analysis showed the following results: 1) students became more critical about their reading after the practice of Group Think Aloud which allowed for the interaction and negotiation of several readings; 2) the teacher-researcher transformed her teaching practice, taking on a role of mediator and literacy agent that understands that continuous education is the best way to keep up with the new educational paradigms

För att jag ska få svar på syftet samt frågeställningarna valde jag att intervjua förskollärare. Det min studie visade efter sammanställningen var att fler valde högläsning istället för det muntliga berättandet. Detta berodde bland annat på att det krävdes mer av förskollärarna och att de inte kände sig trygga i sin berättarroll. Något annat som förskollärarna ansåg vara ett hinder var hur deras lokaler var utformade då de inte uppfyllde den önskade berättarmiljön. Antingen var lokalerna för stora eller så var de för små. Förskollärarna kände heller inte att rummen var inbjudande eller att de lockade till sig barnens intresse. Dock visade förskollärarna i undersökningen en positiv inställning till att utvecklas och bli bättre på användningen av det muntliga berättandet.

Full textReading is one of the most important and decisive skills in one’s personal, social and academic success. Therefore, and in order for the students to achieve a solid proficiency in reading, it is extremely important the contact with books, listening to others reading aloud and read daily. The present study Read aloud: perceptions and primary school teachers' practices arose from the project Já Sei Ler – Leitura em Voz Alta (loose translation: I Know How to Read – Reading Aloud), a collaboration between ISEC Lisbon, the Portuguese National Reading Plan and the Municipality of Entroncamento. This study analyses, on the one hand, the perceptions of primary school teachers regarding the importance given to the practice of reading aloud in class and, on the other hand, the practices used relating to reading aloud. As such, the goals of the study are: (i) to understand the importance of reading aloud in the classroom; (ii) to know the teachers' perceptions regarding the importance of practices that promote reading aloud in the classroom; (iii) to identify practices that promote reading aloud in the classroom. The study analysed a sample of (N=31) primary school teachers involved in the project I Know How to Read – Reading Aloud. The methodology for collection and analysis of data was the general quantitative approach, through the use of a questionnaire. The findings suggest that the primary school teachers are aware of the potential benefits of reading aloud, rating it as essential (51,61%), even though there is a lack of diversity in strategies used in the classroom, as the most used strategies are reading aloud by the teacher or student (96,77%).

ABSTRACT Think –Aloud with Teacher Intervention on the Reading Comprehension of EFL Technological University Students The purpose of this study is to explore how the teacher applied the think aloud to intervene in students’ reading processes to promote their reading comprehension and the effectiveness of the think aloud as teacher intervention. It also aims to investigate when to intervene, what intervention strategy to use to help students overcome their reading difficulties, students’ improvement and students’ perceptions of the think aloud as teacher intervention. The subject of this study is six technological university students, majoring in Applied Foreign Languages Department. Before and after the intervention, each student had to read an article with the think aloud independently and received a comprehension test. During the intervention, the teacher first modeled how to use the main idea, prior knowledge, and repair strategy with the think aloud to construct the meaning of the context. Then, each student read two articles, when the student had reading difficulties, the teacher provided the intervention or support appropriately. After that, each student had to complete two comprehension tests. Finally, each student was required to answer the oral interview respectively. Data collection was mainly based on students’ think aloud transcription data, comprehension tests, and students’ oral interviews, while the teacher’s reflection was served as the minor data in the present study. Data analysis was conducted by transcribing, coding, categorizing the intervention strategies into the two different timing interventions, and comparing students’ improvement and students’ perceptions. The research finding indicated that teacher intervention should be based on students’ prior knowledge so as to relate to their past experiences and help them overcome their reading difficulties through the interaction. The timing of teacher intervention can be divided into two parts: (1) students’ prior knowledge was insufficient (2) students lacked prior knowledge. To scaffold students’ problems, seven intervention strategies were used: praising, suggesting, prompting, linking, reinforcing, discussing, and telling. The results of this study are summarized as below: 1. When students’ prior knowledge was insufficient, the teacher only needed to provide some scaffolds or interventions such as: praising, suggesting, prompting, linking, and reinforcing, to increase students’ monitoring and metacognitive awareness so as to help them remediate their problems by themselves. 2. When students lacked prior knowledge, the teacher needed to provide more scaffolds or explicit explanation such as: suggesting, prompting, linking, reinforcing, discussing, and telling, to guide students’ to interpret the meaning of the context. 3. In the first intervention, the teacher should provide more encouragement and supports to the students. In the second intervention, the teacher should release the scaffolds and encourage students to take more responsibility. In other words, the teacher should guide students’ reading step by step when they encountered the reading difficulties so as to help them become independent readers. 4. All the students showed progress in their reading comprehension, global strategy use, and metacognition, especially the students who scored lower on reading comprehension tests. 5. All the students expressed positive attitudes toward the think aloud with teacher intervention. When students encountered the problems, the students who scored lower wished to get more intervention or even the direct answers from the teacher, while the students who scored higher wished the teacher to provide more clues and step by step instruction instead of direct answers. The results of this study indicate that the think aloud with teacher intervention is an effective method in English Remediation, and the think aloud with teacher intervention facilitated students’ monitoring and enhanced their reading comprehension. The researcher suggests that the teacher could design the pre-reading activity, such as: providing pictures, to create an environment for activating students’ prior knowledge. When students encounter reading difficulties, the teacher should provide indirect intervention and more waiting time for the students to apply rereading or rechecking on the context so as to increase their monitoring comprehension. If teachers accurately diagnose students’ prior knowledge, apply the teacher intervention strategies appropriately, and guide the students’ reading step by step, students’ reading will be promoted more effectively.

ABSTRACT Researchers of language learning have often suggested that reading picture storybooks aloud would likely affect children’s language learning. However, within the extensive literature on reading aloud, comparatively little research has focused on reading aloud in second language learning. Therefore, the aim of this action research was to explore my own teaching practice in using different reading-aloud styles to promote students’ story comprehension are related. This research involves five cycles complemented within 16 weeks. Five similar-aged students with similar level of English proficiency in an English learning center participated in the study. In each cycle, the same storybook was used one day a week for three weeks; the fifth cycle was carried out for four weeks. Data were collected from videotaping of classroom activities, documentations, and teacher’s reflection journals. The results reveals that when reading the same storybook, the students benefited from the integration of the three styles in sequence along with well-planned follow-up activities in a stress-free environment. To conclude, this study provides English teachers with a better understanding of how teacher’s reading-aloud styles use relate to students’ responses.

Full textThis collaborative research is an attempt to study expert teachers' reading aloud practices and their impact on the development of preschool students’ ability to make inferences. First, the interventions of four expert teachers specifically trained to work inferences while reading aloud are described and compared with those of two non trained expert teachers (objective 1). Next, the impact of all teachers’ practices on the development of their students’ ability to make inferences (n=92) is examined (objective 2). Finally, we look into collaborative research as a way to support professional development for teachers (objective 3). In order to attain our objectives, we observed participant teachers four times while they were reading children’s books. Data gathered from those observations were completed with other data provided by the teachers about their practices over a nine-week period. Moreover, the ability of the students to make inferences was assessed twice: once at the beginning and once at the end of the research. Teachers also completed two written questionnaires, one at the beginning and the other 2 years after the end of this research, concerning the impacts of their participation in this research on their practices. While all teachers worked inferences with their students, our results showed that there are significant differences in the way they do it. Three of the trained teachers (number 1, 2, and 3) predominantly put emphasis on co-elaboration of the implicit episodes’ meaning and gave their students appropriate scaffolding. Because she found it difficult to assimilate training contents, the other trained teacher (number 4) failed - not without numerous attempts - to offer the same kind of scaffolding. As for the two non trained teachers (number 5 and 6), they gave preference to the transmission of the implicit episodes’ meaning, and supported their students less efficiently when they tried to elaborate it. The differences in how the work on inferences was done had an impact on students’ progression from the beginning to the end of the research. Three of the trained teachers’ students had significantly superior results in comparison to the others’. Therefore, a specific work on inferences only does not ensure that students will make progress. There are other important contributing factors: choosing quality books, students’ involvement in discussions in order to co-elaborate the text’s meaning, and appropriate scaffolding from the teacher. Finally, according to our results, a participation in a collaborative research, which promotes reflexivity and offers coaching, seems to give the teachers the opportunity to bring about long-term changes in their practices. In consequence, a participation in that type of research appears to contribute to teachers’ professional development.
