Welcome
back!
Today,
i want to share my analysis of journal
titled “Improving Reading Comprehension Skills through Reading Strategies Used by
a Group of Foreign Language Learners”.
In this post , i
want to share about the author of the journal and the audience, the author’s
main argument and author reasons for his/her argument, and the last is the
reader’s point of view.
1. 1. The author of this
journal are:
-Nancy Gómez
Torres
-Jhon Jairo Ávila
Constain
That both of them
are from University of Pontificia Bolivariana.
The audience can be
a researchers, teachers, lecturers, educator, etc. In this journal, the
subjects at the very beginning consisted of 50 second semester students majoring
in business administration, economics, law, psychology, mechanical engineering,
civil engineering, electronics engineering, agro-industrial engineering, social
communication and journalism at a private university on the northwest coast of
Colombia.
2. 2. The
author’s main argument an author reasons for his/her argument.
The
pupose of this journal is to improve students’ reading comprehension skills in
a foreign language. In order to to improve students’ reading comprehension
skills in a foreign language, the author used some strategies that has been
selected and adapted with the purpose of learning to support students’ efforts
to read and comprehend texts as well as to train them to become proficient
independent readers outside of the classroom.
The
reason of the author’s main argument is some students at Universidad Pontificia
Bolivariana, Monteria, present low reading comprehension and lack or
inappropriate use of reading comprehension strategies which have caused low performance
in both English and Spanish classes and on tests.
3. 3. The reader’s point
of view.
From
my point of view, the author is care about student’s reading skill. So, the
author did a research about how to improve reading comprehension skill. The school
or university should find an effective strategy to teached reading
comprehension to their student. It is because with using an effective strategy student
can understand well and fastly. As the author said before that student in
his/her university present low reading comprehension and lack or inappropriate
use of reading comprehension . This problem happened because student get not
enough knowledge of reading comprehension. So it’s influenced the student’s
performance in English tests.
I
think the things that i want to share have done, that’s all i can tell you
about.
Thank
You for reading!
