Effects of Computer Assisted Learning Instructions on Reading Achievement among Middle School English Language Learners
Bayley-Hamlet, Simone O.
ProQuest LLC, EDD/CI Dissertation, University of Phoenix
The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of Imagine Learning, a computer assisted language learning (CALL) program, on addressing reading achievement for English language learners (ELLs). This is a measurement used in the Accessing Comprehension and Communication in English State-to-State (ACCESS for ELLs or ACCESS) reading scale scores. Low reading scores among ELLs on state standardized tests suggested that schools were not meeting this subgroup's needs. This quantitative quasi-experimental study used a pre- and posttest two group design. In this design, there were two groups; one group used Imagine Learning. The control group did not use the Imagine Learning program over the same period. Gains on the ACCESS for ELLs and Georgia Milestones (GM) scaled scores were calculated using an Independent Sample "t" test and ANOVA tests. The findings indicated that there was a significant difference (p = 0.003) in the ACCESS for ELLs reading assessment scores of ELL students enrolled in Imagine Learning compared with students who did not use Imagine Learning. The null hypothesis was rejected for the ACCESS and accepted for the GMAS. The results suggested that students in eighth grade who use Imagine Learning showed no greater gains on the ACCESS for ELLs reading assessments than students who did not use Imagine Learning. With regard to GM, students' performance or gain scores were not significantly different. [The dissertation citations contained here are published with the permission of ProQuest LLC.
