RESEARCH PROPOSAL
Investigating Reading Fluency and
Vocabulary Difficulties Among Adolescents Struggling With Reading Comprehension PART I Research background Research objectives The objectives of this research are:
a) To investigate reading fluency and vocabulary difficulties among
adolescents
b) To address problems in reading fluency and vocabulary difficulties
among adolescents Research question(s)
a) Why adolescents with reading fluency and vocabulary difficulties
are struggling with reading comprehension?
b) How to enhance reading fluency and vocabulary difficulties in
reading among adolescents? PART II Literature review 1) Reading skills a) reading fluency Given what we know about the relationship between fluency and verbal understanding of reading and the classification of threshold values it is reasonable to assume that fluency skills may be inadequate for adolescents to fully support comprehension processing. (Paris & Hamilton, 2009) Reading at a reasonable pace has a very practical purpose. Reading activity inside and outside the school help avoid reader disappointment. With a lethargic and exhausting reading speed that can make reading easier. (Rasinski, 2000) b) reading comprehension As understanding involves the interaction of various cognitive abilities and processes, in many cases difficulties arise and lead to misunderstandings. For example, during reading the ability to derive meaning is normally enhanced when there is a reduction in the cognitive load of a reader’s working memory, and the reader can decode the words and phrases fluently and bring meaning to the unfamiliar vocabulary encountered (Cain & Oakhill 2007)
Reading comprehension (understanding, obtaining meaning and interpretation of
the text) depends on various factors that affect the reader, the text and the situation. (De Corte et al. 2001) c) adolescents reading theoretical model The Adolescents Reading Model shown in the figure provides a conceptual framework that defines the design and implementation of reading measures. 2) Vocabulary a) vocabulary instruction The vocabulary is one of the five main components of the reading instruction, which is necessary for the successful reading of children. These basic components include phonetics and words, fluency, vocabulary and comprehension. Vocabulary knowledge is important because it encompasses all the words we must know to access our background knowledge, express our ideas and communicate effectively, and learn about new concepts. “ (National Reading Panel, 2000) b) vocabulary knowledge The growth of children's vocabulary should be based on the recognition of the complexity of word knowledge. They indicated five vocabulary characteristics. (Nadia & Scott 2000) PART III Methodology PART IV Milestone Allocation of budgets References De Corte, E., Verschaffel, L., & Van De Ven, A. (2001).
