Exploring Reading Attitudes, Reading Self-Efficacy, and Reading Proficiency in a Blended Learning Context Among EFL Learners

Background. Affective variables such as second language (L2) reading attitudes (RAs) and L2 reading self-efficacy (RSE) have been regarded as factors which influence academic results in regular face-to-face reading instruction. Research has reported that although positive RAs among adolescents may decline as they go through school, they still engage in diverse formal and informal reading environments involving printed and/or digital resources. These attitudes can be impacted by the sudden change in the way instruction is delivered in blended learning contexts which emerged due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
 Purpose. The present study applied a mixed methods approach to explore the relationship between the L2 RAs, L2 RSE, and L2 reading proficiency (RP) of Chilean high school students in a blended-learning context.
 Method. A sequential explanatory mixed-methods design was adopted to gather data from 124 Chilean high school students. The quantitative data collection was carried out by means of two adapted surveys assessing RAs and RSE, while the reading section of the Preliminary English Test (PET) was administered to determine the RP of participants. The qualitative aspect of the study involved semi structured interviews with ten participants.
 Results. Participants displayed moderately positive levels of RA and RSE. Furthermore, a strong correlation was found between RAs and RSE, and RSE was significantly correlated with RP. Qualitative data analysis revealed that the emergency remote teaching context during the pandemic affected student reading behaviour in relation to the attitudes towards recreational digital reading, and that teacher instruction can influence their RAs and RSE.
 Conclusion. It is essential for EFL teachers to nurture student L2 RSE by means of effective and consistent reading activities with increasing challenge that include synchronous and asynchronous learning. Since most participants preferred to complete reading tasks in a recreational digital setting rather than an academic digital one, teachers should incorporate academic reading activities which are more engaging and contextualised to student age and preferences to effectively use the synchronous and asynchronous time at their disposal in blended settings.

Exploring the impact of personalized and adaptive learning technologies on reading literacy: A global meta-analysis

Fostering proficient reading literacy among students has long been a central educational pursuit, considering that it is one of the most cognitively demanding skills to acquire. Technology that tailors learning experiences to fit students’ strengths and needs (i.e., personalized and adaptive learning; PAL) can be more effective than the traditional curricular approaches. However, the literature on PAL effectiveness presents an inconclusive assessment of its impact on student reading achievement, and a global synthesis has not been conducted. This meta-analysis sought to assess the degree for differences in effect estimates, and to explore reasons for the differences across a wider range of populations and interventions. Twenty-seven studies were reviewed and an effect size of g = 0.29 was found. Implications for future policy and practice are presented.

Ready, Set, Match

As online education expands, cultivating a sense of belonging becomes increasingly complex, especially for students who may never set foot on a physical campus. In this article, we explore the nuanced nature of fostering a sense of belonging and mattering among distance learners on our own campus, Indiana University (IU) East. To address these students’ unique needs, our English department organized three virtual events (the Alumni Career panel, the Faculty+Student Reading of creative work and the Celebration of Student Writing) utilizing Facebook Live, Zoom, and Pressbooks. Drawing on the concept of "belonging" as articulated by Strayhorn (2019), we examine the degree to which these virtual events fostered a sense of belonging and mattering, particularly through the concept of “matched pairs,” which emerged as a useful framework for creating personalized connections between faculty and students, a critical ingredient in both belonging and mattering. Both the Faculty+Student Reading and the Celebration of Student Writing worked to establish closer ties between participating faculty and student pairs, while the third event, the Alumni Career Panel, encouraged students to interact with alumni in a virtual “living room,” a relaxed online space (via Zoom) where they could learn about career paths. However, we also found that events like these cannot be viewed as “one-and-done” but rather must be part of a sustained program to enhance student connections. Acknowledging the time-intensive nature of planning and organizing such events, we caution against assumptions of seamless execution and underscore the need for purposeful planning, inclusive design, and flexibility to accommodate diverse student needs.

The Effect of the Individualized Education Program on Early Reading Ability for Special Needs Students Based on Reading Interest in Inclusive Elementary Schools

This study aims to examine the effect of the Individualized Education Program (IEP) on early reading ability of students with special needs in Inclusive Elementary Schools in Magetan Regency based on reading interest. This study used 2 x 2 factorial design with pre-test and post-test control group design. The samples were selected using a cluster random sampling technique; 35 students were selected as experimental group members, while 37 were selected as control group members. Reading interest scale was used to measure the reading interest of students, and early reading ability was measured using early reading ability test. Two-way ANOVA was used to analyse the hypothesis. The test was performed with a multiple comparison test using Scheffe's method. The results show that (1) there are differences in the early reading ability of students with special needs who are taught by applying the IEP and those who are not; (2) there are differences in the early reading ability of students with special needs between groups of students with high reading interest and low reading interest; (3) there is an interaction between the application of IEP and reading interest in improving the early reading ability of students with special needs.

The effect of philosophy on critical reading: Evidence from initial teacher education in Colombia

Teacher quality, its effect on students’ outcomes, and the association of these with economic growth, is the core of recent discussions in Latin America given the region’s weak results in international learning assessments. This paper investigates whether there is an effect of philosophy on the outcomes of critical reading for students in B.Ed. programs in Colombia. Relying on exact matching combined with propensity score matching with regression adjustment, we use national data from Colombia to show that students in B.Ed. in philosophy outperformed students in other B.Ed. in critical reading test (0.401–0.124 SD), and, importantly, with higher effects observed for students with lower prior academic achievement (0.44 SD). This suggests that philosophy can help to narrow educational outcomes of students whose socioeconomic conditions are disadvantageous, contributing to social justice in education.
