Produktbeschreibung
This book presents a study that explored the
metacognitive reading strategies used by Arabic
native speakers when reading in Arabic and English.
The study aimed at finding out 1)the strategies that
Arabic native speakers report using in English and
Arabic,2)the strategies they actually use in reading
the two languages, and 3)the conditions under which
the use of these strategies vary across the two
languages. The participants metacognitive reading
strategies was assessed by using the Survey of
Reading Strategies(SORS) (Mokhtari & Sheorey, 2002)
while their actual strategies use was identified
through the use of a think-aloud protocol. The
results revealed five major findings. First, all the
participants reported using all the SORS
strategies.Second, there were statistically
significant differences in the strategies reported
in English and Arabic. Third, some strategies were
actually used more often than others. Fourth, think-
aloud showed that the participants actually used
more than half of the strategies when they read in
English. Finally, the variations in reported use
revealed that more strategies were used in English
than in Arabic.
