The Differences and Similarities



assalamualaikum. wr.wb. well, hello guys! today i want to inform you about the differences and similarities about two journals that i've been share to you before. so, lets check this out!

title : "USE OF MULTIMEDIA TECHNOLOGIES IN ENGLISH LANGUAGE LEARNING:
A STUDY"
author's name : Simhachalam Thamarana
introduction : this journal discusses the use of multimedia technologies in english language learning.  The author wants to know how effective the use of multimedia technology is in the learning process for students.
literature review : it is more important to understand how to use this technology more effectively and efficiently to be able to issue and issue new ideas in producing and presenting learning materials that enable students to be motivated to explore the content of learning and further enrich the learning process.
methodology : The issues of poor and ineffective learning of English language had been noticed among
undergraduate students in the collages of all the three north-costal districts in Andhra Pradesh,
i.e. Visakhapatnam, Vizianagaram and Srikakulam. At present, there are many Multimedia
technologies such as Internet, YouTube, Instant Relay Messenger, Smart Phone, Projector, Television, E-books, Graphics, Mp3 Player, Video player and Animations. These technologies have been contributing enormous to teaching and learning of English language effectively. Especially, Multimedia technologies are great source for language activities, material in teaching and learning English language. However, many students may not have the technical skills to make full use of these technological resources. Therefore, this study investigates the learners‟ attitudes towards the use of Multimedia technology

title : "Improving reading skills through effective reading strategies"
author's name : Hulya Kucukoglu
introduction : This journal discusses the Improving reading skills through effective reading strategies.  The author conducted research on effective reading strategies so that students were able to increase their reading skills.
literature review :  The idea here is that when we read something, the purpose is to try to
understand what the intention is. When dealing with reading, we encounter two layers of
reality: one that we can see and one that we cannot see. Therefore, the purpose of reading is to
make the invisible layer, the underlying meaning, visible and clear ). Teele asserts that
the goal of all readers should be to understand what they read (2004, p. 92). Research shows good
readers are actively involved with the text, and they are aware of the processes they use to
understand what they read. Teachers can help improve student comprehension through instruction
of reading strategies. Predicting, making connections, visualizing, inferring, questioning, and
summarizing are strategies shown by research to improve reading comprehension (Block & Israel,
2005). It is important to teach the strategies by naming the strategy and how it should be used,
modelling through the think-aloud process, group practice, partner practice, and independent use of
the strategy (Duke & Pearson, 2005).
methodology :The purpose of this research project is to determine the level of awareness of reading students
 and improve their reading strategies.  Teacher researchers use six strategies;  predict, make
 connection, visualize, conclude, question, and summarize.  Strategy introduced to
students
 learning,
  showed that 9 out of 14 students did not know the strategy.

so i think its enough from me, thank you for readingπŸ’œ

Review about Methodology International Journal : "Improving reading skills through effective reading strategies" by Hulya Kucukoglu

Assalamualaikum wr.wb. hello guys, how are yoy today? i hope ypu'll always fine. i've been sick for 3 days :( oke now, i'd like to Review about Methodology International Journal : "Improving reading skills through effective reading strategies" by Hulya Kucukoglu

Reading skills are the most basic skills for academic learning and success in school.  According to a study conducted in the United States, the ability to read fluently was very significant
 related to how much a person can achieve in his personal and professional life (Blok & Israel, 2005).  For this reason the author decided to carry out this action research.  According to Brown
  and Dowling (2001), action research is a term applied to projects where practitioners
  seek to effect transform.  Generally, action research is carried out
  in school settings.  Corey (1953) believes that the value of research actions in change takes place in everyday practice rather than generalizing to a wider audience.  Action research is
  reflective process and dealing with practical problems that are close to the instructor and allow them to make changes.  The main objective of this action research is to find a real solution
  problems faced at school and looking for ways to improve student success.  Action process
 research helps educators assess needs, document the steps of investigation, analyze data, and
  make informed decisions that can lead to the desired results.
  Stages of an action
  research is;
 1. planning
 2. acting
 3. observe
 4. reflect (McNiff, 1988: 22)
  The results of the study show that students increase understanding when they analyze which strategies are most effective.
  they use and how it helps understand the meaning of the text.

  The purpose of this research project is to determine the level of awareness of reading students
 and improve their reading strategies.  Teacher researchers use six strategies;  predict, make
 connection, visualize, conclude, question, and summarize.  Strategy introduced to
  students
 learning,
  showed that 9 out of 14 students did not know the strategy.  First the strategy
  modeled by teacher researchers and as a second step the strategy is practiced by the whole
  class, then small group, and finally independent.  Following reading presentations
 strategy, the teacher researcher was given the Metacomprehension Strategy Index (MSI) to see
 if the strategy presented has changed students' understanding in reading.  Index is a tool
  where familiarity about reading strategies is used before, during, and after reading.  The teacher researcher then practices four reading texts from the textbook
 four weeks.
