The Effect of the Teacher's Reading Aloud on the Reading Comprehension of EFL Students.

Amer, Aly A.

ELT Journal, v51 n1 p43-47 Jan 1997

Using a multiple-choice test and a story frame test, this study measured the effect on reading comprehension of reading a story aloud to English-as-a-Second-Language students. Findings indicate that these students outperformed on both tests those students who read the story silently. (Six references) (Author/CK)
