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.
