The purpose of this study is to investigate the possibility of the use of reading aloud as a way of teaching English reading in a formal college-level English reading classroom. The study tried to examine the effects of reading aloud on the development of English reading ability in terms of comprehension and speed and the students' perceptions of the use of reading aloud in an English reading classroom. The participants of the study were 36 third year students at a college. The results of the cloze test and reading speed test showed that reading aloud had a positive effect on the improvement of English reading ability. The students received higher scores in the cloze test after the course and read a text faster than before the course. The analysis of the course evaluation questionnaire indicated that the students in the study showed positive attitudes toward the use of reading aloud in an English reading classroom. Most of the students reported that reading aloud was an effective way of improving their English reading comprehension and speed. However, the students were not fully satisfied with the reading materials used in the study. The results of the present study indicated that reading aloud may be incorporated into a formal English reading classroom effectively.

In this study, we investigated elementary school teachers' and students' perceptions of the reading materials in science textbooks. Participants were 181 teachers from 23 elementary schools who were teaching science and 643 third- to sixth-grade students from 12 elementary schools. A questionnaire for teachers consisted of 18 items and a questionnaire for students consisted of 11 items about their perceptions of the reading materials in science textbooks. Nine to twelve items, according to grades, examining the actual uses of each reading material in science textbooks were also included to both questionnaires. The results indicated that teachers have positive perceptions about reading materials and frequently use them in case of needs for supplement and/or enrichment of science learning. Novice teachers were found to have less positive perceptions about reading materials than expert teachers. Over 70 percent of students responded that they read all reading materials. Fifth- and sixth-grade students were tended to have less positive perceptions about reading materials than third-grade students. Finally, students tended to have more positive perceptions about reading materials than their teachers.

In the age of information, newly produced knowledge is mostly written in English. Therefore, there has been a strong demand for English language learning in the EFL context. However, most EFL learners possess a lack of interest and motivation in the text-based reading class. In this educational context, film is one of the most widely used materials in English reading classes considering that modern learners are predominantly familiar with various audiovisual materials. The purpose of this study is to investigate how Korean EFL learners experienced in the film-based reading class. Specifically, this study aims to analyze the EFL students' perceptions about the class and learning strategies that they used during the class. In order to comprehensively interpret the EFL learners' experiences in the classroom, a coding system consisting of five categories was developed: report, emotion, reflection, evaluation, future plans. The results of data analysis showed that the use of movies in English reading classes had positive effects on reading comprehension and inference of word meaning. The most frequently used learning strategies were affective strategies which helped them control their emotion, attitude, motivations and values, whereas memorization strategies were rarely used. In this respect, this study suggests that the use of movies in the EFL reading classroom encourage students' attention and help them obtain and activate schema which is useful in gaining a better understanding of text-based reading materials.

본 연구는 다양한 관점의 이용요구가 혼재되어있는 독서자료의 속성을 파악하기 위해, 도서의 동시이용 (동시대출, 동시구매) 데이터에 기반하여 독서자료의 선택 및 이용과 관계된 서지적 속성을 분석하였다. KDC 주제, 독자대상, 이용자 연령 관련 26개 하위 속성 단위로 구분하여 서지적 속성 용어의 동시출현행렬을 생성하고 네트워크 분석을 수행한 결과, 독서자료의 서지적 속성의 세부 내용 및 두드러진 매개 역할을 파악하였다. 본 연구의 결과는 향후 도서관 OPAC을 비롯한 독서정보 시스템의 패싯 설계에 도움이 될 것이다.

In this study, we investigated the characteristics of the reading materials in the elementary school science textbooks in order to obtain implications for the effective use of them. The reading materials in the elementary school science textbooks developed under the 7th and the 2007 revised National Science Curricula were analyzed. The criteria for classifying the reading materials were the type of theme, purpose, students' activity, the type of presentation, the type of images, the role of images, and readability. The results indicated that the reading materials in the 2007 revised science textbooks are more systematic than those in the 7th science textbooks in terms of their length and their distribution among energy, matter, life, and earth areas. It was also found that various types of reading materials are presented in the 2007 revised science textbooks covering new themes such as frontier science, job opportunity and career, and environment. In addition, the reading materials in the 2007 revised science textbooks introduce more visual images and the readability of them are also better than their counterpart. However, several limitations were still found to exist in the reading materials of the 2007 revised textbooks; most of them are non-inquiry and explanatory; most of the visual images are illustration and/or pictures. Educational implications are discussed.

본 연구의 목적은 대학생들의 읽기불안감과 영어성취도에 따른 읽기전략의 사용에 관한 연구이다. 총 86명의 학생이 연구에 참여하였고 읽기 전략[9]과 읽기 불안감[10]에 관한 설문지를 작성하였다. 수거된 설문지는 SPSS 21을 사용하여 정량적 방법으로 분석되어졌다. 본 연구결과로는 영어성취도에 따른 읽기전략으로 상급과 중급은 문제해결 읽기전략이 높았고, 반면에 초급은 총체적 읽기전략이 높았다. 읽기불안에 따른 읽기전략의 관계에서 상관관계는 보이지 않았으나, 불안감이 높은 그룹과 낮은 그룹 간에 약간의 차이점이 나타났다. 불안감이 높은 그룹은 읽기내용에서 단서나 자료 이용하는 전략이나 이해의 어려움이 있을 때 더 내용에 집중하는 전략을 선호하였고 불안감이 낮은 그룹은 독해 도중 집중력을 잃었을 때는 다시 돌아와서 읽는 전략, 읽는 속도를 조절하거나 읽는 내용의 이해에 신중을 기하는 전략을 선호하였다. 본 연구의 결과를 바탕으로 시사점과 제한점을 토론하였다.

공공도서관에서 웹기반 독서교육을 활성화시키자는 취지에서 웹을 통한 독서교육의 실제를 살펴보고 그 활용방안에 대해 연구하였다. 웹기반 독서교육은 사서와 이용자가 시간과 공간의 지배를 받지 않고 언제 어디서나 글감을 읽고 독서교육의 목표를 이루는 것이다. 그 방법으로는 멀티미디어의 환경인 인터넷을 통해 독서교육 홈페이지를 개설하고, 이용자가 편리한 시간에 웹상에 제시되어 있는 다양한 독서자료와 독서계획을 볼 수 있도록 안내한다. 또한 사서나 이용자들과 전자메일, 게시판, 채팅, 화상회의 등을 통해 독서에 대한 감상문과 토론, 의견 제시 등 독서교육에 대한 다양한 상호작용 활동이 이루어지도록 웹기반 독서교육 시스템의 구축과 다양한 프로그램을 개발 등을 제시하였다.

This paper presents the outcome of a survey done in two colleges of education in Kumasi, Ghana to determine the reading habits of students. A questionnaire was conveniently administered to the third-year students of Wesley College of Education and St. Louis College of Education all in Kumasi the capital of Ashanti Region of Ghana. One hundred and sixty-two copies of the questionnaire were administered to the students in the two colleges. The study found that both parents and tutors influence students reading at the same rate, in both colleges students read an average of one book in two months which was not encouraging with the most preferred reading materials being course books followed by textbooks and fiction. Their purpose of reading is to broaden their knowledge, and to pass examination. They choose busy schedule on campus and too much academic work as the reasons which affect their reading habits. Furthermore, it was revealed that, too much family responsibilities and lack of conducive environment were major constraints that restrict their reading at home. The study recommends the following to enhance reading habits of the students: parents should create healthy surrounding for learning; students should also be motivated to read through the formation of reading clubs and group presentation of assignment.

본 연구는 독서자료의 접근점을 확장하기 위해, 도서이용 속성에 기반한 독서자료 분류체계를 고안하였다. 독서상황에서 도서 이용자가 고려할 수 있는 도서의 속성을 내용분석하여 주제명에 반영하고, 네트워크 분석을 통해 주제명 항목과 인접한 항목들을 연관 주제명으로 그룹화하여 함께 제시하였다. 본 연구에서 개발한 독서자료분류표(RMC)는 도서관 OPAC을 비롯한 독서정보 시스템 내에서 도서 이용자의 탐색을 돕는 다양한 접근점을 제공하는 도구로써 사용될 수 있을 것이다.
