- W566780581 abstract "In general, educational practices in Zairean secondary schools point to apositivistic orientation to literacy, in spite of the fact that one of the stated aims ofsecondary education is to encourage independent thinking in students.For this reason, one of the aims of the present study was to promote greaterindependence in students by presenting a humanistic-interpretive approach toreading, as demonstrated by the practice of sustained silent reading. For thispurpose, some of the students involved in the study (the experimental subjects)were presented with graded readers in English, in a 20h (1h/week) experimentalreading programme. Moreover, in keeping with the view of reading as a unitaryprocess, transferable across languages, a second aim of the study was to explorethe possibility of transfer in reading ability between French as a L2 and English asa FL.Data were supplied by experimental and control subjects from questionnaires andcloze passages in French, and in English, that were administered before and afterthe reading programme. These data failed to provide unequivocal evidence for theexpected transfer and improvement, and reasons are offered for this outcome.Nonetheless, the experimental subjects performed as well as the control subjectsat the second administration of the measurement instruments. In other terms, onehour of sustained silent reading in English, along with 4 hours of traditional EFLteaching, appeared to be as educationally beneficial as the usual 5 hours/weekorally driven, teacher-directed EFL classroom practice." @default.
