Grammatical understanding predicts reading comprehension in secondary-level students: insights from a Finnish national survey

A lot of research into the relationship between explicit grammatical understanding and literacy development in L1 contexts has focused on writing. A lot less is known, however, about the interconnectedness of explicit grammatical understanding and reading. This study investigated the relationship between grammatical understanding and reading comprehension in Finnish 9th grade students. Using national assessment data (N = 6,044) and multilevel quantitative analyses, the study found that explicit grammatical understanding accounted for a significant portion of the variance in reading skills, even after controlling for various background factors such as school, family socioeconomic status, homework and book reading habits, attitudes towards studying L1, and writing ability. The findings suggest, without implying causality, that understanding language structure and making explicit metalinguistic observations are closely connected to reading comprehension. The study encourages further research on the benefits of explicit grammar teaching for reading comprehension using different study designs. Additionally, it highlights the need to investigate how grammar instruction can be linked to reading, as well as explore the effectiveness of such instruction in different educational and linguistic contexts.

READING BOOKS: AN EFFECTIVE TOOL FOR ENHANCING CRITICAL THINKING SKILLS AMONG ENGLISH LANGUAGE LEARNERS

At most institutions of higher education, educating critical thinking is widely regarded as one of the central goals. Although a book of literature can be seen as a reproduction of our world within a single four-walled classroom, it has the potential to influence young minds and enhance critical analysis skills, particularly through language teachers. This paper emphasizes the importance of using literature as a medium to develop critical thinking competencies in English for Academic Purposes (EAP) learners. Reading encourages cognitive development, fosters critical thinking, and expands problem-solving skills. Literary genres provide learners with unique ideas, complex characters, and plots filled with twists that leave a lasting impression. Students are compelled to think deeply, critically, and analytically while reading, which helps them master certain higher-order thinking skills. They develop inferential skills, make connections between texts, and cultivate the ability to think about, and beyond, what is stated in a text based on evidence. Additionally, reading enhances creativity, imagination, and empathy, teaching students to see things from the perspectives of others and understand different traditions. Since the late 1950s or early 1960s, incorporating bookwork into language learning classrooms has been shown to foster not only language competence but also cognitive and metacognitive skills. Teachers guide students in shared conversations, reflective prompts, and cooperative efforts that require higher-order cognitive processing. This paper advocates for making extensive reading a key feature of English language instruction, highlighting its contributions to critical thinking, knowledge building, and the development of a reading habit that is essential for lifelong learning. Experimental in nature, this study uses a short story as a text to illustrate and explore the potential for critical thinking among English language learners. The research aims to demonstrate the quality of students' critical thinking by engaging them with a selected short story. In doing so, it seeks to reveal the insights, analyses, and interpretations that learners can produce as they interact with a narrative landscape. Specifically, the research aims to show that using short stories in English language learning encourages students' critical thinking.

The Application of Parallel Texts in the Process of Proofreading: A Case Study about the Proofreading Practice in Transn

Parallel texts refer to the texts that originate from different languages and cultural environments but share similar or identical communicative functions. As a vital resource for bilingual research, parallel texts provide normative references for translation practice.In the proofreading practice commissioned by Transn Company (a famous translation company in China), in order to ensure consistency in translating terminologies, the author makes use of parallel texts to accumulate terminologies in source language and target language. Before proofreading, the author guides students to search for official translations of high-frequency terminologies on authoritative websites. During the proofreading process, the author instructs students to compare different types of parallel texts to determine the appropriate translation of Chinese culture-loaded words. After proofreading, students are divided into groups to evaluate their classmates' work and find the inconsistent expressions of terminologies. Then, the author will revise these inconsistencies and ensure the uniform translation of terminologies. Through this practice, the author explores how to use parallel texts to help students produce authentic translation that aligns with the reading habits of target language audience, thereby enhancing the quality of proofreading.

Reading culture as shared ethos: A study of Finnish self-identified readers

This article advances understanding about book reading as a sociocultural phenomenon in the 2020s. We make a contribution to the cultural sociology of reading by investigating Finnish self-identified book readers by analysing the significance of sociodemographic variables (gender, education, age, and place of residence) in terms of reading activity and access to books. Our study is placed in the context of Finnish reading culture that is characterised by a particular appreciation of reading and measures promoting equal access to culture. Based on an online survey of 955 respondents conducted in 2021, our statistical analyses show that the social stratification of book reading activity that is prominent in population level does not recur within the specific group of people who identify themselves as readers. Among Finnish self-identified book readers, education, gender, and place of residence do not induce significant differences in reading activity. Our analysis that foregrounds inclination instead of quantity as a criterion for readers sheds light on reader equality from a different direction than previous research into nationwide reading habits or descriptive studies on avid readers.

YOUNG ADULT LITERATURE IN AN AGE WITH LESS READER

Teenagers' reading habits are greatly impacted by the changing global environment, as multiple entertainment mediums and technologies compete for their attention. Even if these modern distractions are appealing, reading books has been demonstrated to have several positive short- and long-term effects. Nevertheless, when young people are exposed to more instantly satisfying types of entertainment, it might be difficult to encourage reading in them.
