| 520 | 3 | _aThe aim of this study was to examine the relative effect of strategy instruction using a specific direct instruction model, the Optimal Learning Model (OLM), on ESL students' reading comprehension, by comparing it to the results achieved by regular instruction that is typified by its heavy reliance on content and teaching reading skills rather than strategies. The participants in this experiment were 46 third grade, ESL students enrolled at the same private international school in Beirut. Two sections were assigned into an experimental and control group. A pre and post-test quasi-experimental design was used. A Reading Comprehension Test was administered prior to and after instruction in order to evaluate the efficacy of the intervention. Descriptive statistics (means and standard deviations) of the scores on the variables under study, an independent sample t-test, as well as analysis of co-variance tests (ANCOVA) were conducted to address the question raised in the study. The treatment conditions (experimental versus control) were used as the independent variable and the post-test comprehension scores as the dependent variable. The pre-test scores were used as covariates.The results revealed an overall statistically significant difference in favor of the experimental group on the dependant variable of reading comprehension post-test scores. This yields strong indications to the efficacy of the direct instruction of reading comprehension strategies as opposed to regular instruction and provides for important practical implications in the area of reading instruction. | |
