Pandian <p>The aim of this investigation is to study how think-aloud protocols are used in a Form Four reading</p><p>comprehension class. It is to see how students use appropriate strategies to enhance their reading</p><p>comprehension. Three participants, from a Form 4 class are selected. They are then exposed to</p><p>think-loud protocols. Each of them is given an appropriate passage of the same level to read. They</p><p>are then asked to read and think at the same time. This is to see how they verbalize their thoughts</p><p>and feelings. This session is audio-taped and the data transcribed. These participants are then</p><p>asked to retell through delayed retelling what they have understood from the passage. Later they</p><p>are interviewed by the researcher.</p><p>Based on the data collected, this think-aloud protocols provides information on reading strategies.</p><p>Also, based on the information obtained, participants use reading strategies to have a better</p><p>understanding of the passage. Therefore by making them aware of this type of strategies that good</p><p>readers engage in when they read a passage, we are providing the students an opportunity to become</p><p>aware of the many strategies that good readers use in comprehending a passage.</p><p></p> 2008 thesis https://ir.upsi.edu.my/detailsg.php?det=13121 https://ir.upsi.edu.my/detailsg.php?det=13121 text eng N/A openAccess Masters Perpustakaan Tuanku Bainun Fakulti Bahasa dan Komunikasi N/A
