| Summary: | <p>This study was undertaken to investigate the effectiveness of retelling strategy in enhancing</p><p>reading comprehension. The study intended to find out if the use of Retelling Strategy can bring</p><p>about improvement in the post-test scores after treatment as compared to the pre-test scores. The</p><p>two-group pre-test post-test experimental design was adopted in this study in order to discover the</p><p>effectiveness of Retelling Strategy in improving reading comprehension. Sixty four Form Three</p><p>students of a National Secondary school served as samples in this study. Data in the form of scores</p><p>from the pre-test and post-test were collected to be analyzed. A comparison of mean scores between</p><p>the pre-test and post-test for both the experimental and control group showed an increment but the</p><p>experimental group showed that the students have improved their test scores slightly higher after</p><p>they were subjected to treatments using Retelling Strategy as compared to test scores before</p><p>treatment. In addition, results from T-test conducted indicated that there had been a significant</p><p>improvement in reading comprehension for both the experimental</p><p>and control group but the improvement for the experimental group were higher compared</p><p>to the control group. It was concluded that the Retelling strategy was effective in</p><p>improving reading comprehension. Lastly, analysis of the questionnaire responses showed that</p><p>students preferred and had positive perception of the Retelling Strategy. They also indicated that</p><p>they were very motivated and had enjoyed English lessons using Retelling Strategy.</p><p></p><p></p> |
