Presentation Transcript

  1. International Conference “Towards a Common European Framework of Reference for Languages of School Education” Kraków, Poland, 26 – 29 April 2006 Gerhard Rupp, Ruhr-Universität Bochum: “Promoting reading literacy in mother tongue education: How teaching German at German secondary schools can help to raise the level of reading proficiency of 14- to 16-year olds”

  2. Aims of my paper: • Highlight the specificities of the reading process and • reading strategies • Indicate directions for further research and esp. for interventions in school • Give an explanation for the dramatic decline in reading competence • Promote reading competence

  3. Tetraheder of text comprehension Features of the text (Readability) Text comprehension Activities of the reader (reading strategies) Features of the reader (Prior Knowledge) Difficulties of the reading task

  4. Test design in accordance to CEFR

  5. Factual text: development policy About 1.2 billion people, a fifth of mankind, live in extreme poverty. They have to get by with less than 1 US dollar a day. Poverty is one of the greatest problems of the present. The aim of development policy is to fight poverty by helping countries to help themselves. Not only the consequences, but more importantly, the causes of poverty need to be removed. To this end, development policy takes on overall approach to change the national structures of poor countries, social, economic, and political. At an international level, fair trade and fair commercial relations are pivotal, as well as debt relief. At a national level, structural reforms in favour of the poor need to be implemented. Since employment is often the only way to escape from poverty, development policy needs to pay particular attention to raising the employment rate. However, poverty not only concerns the unemployed or under-employed. Many people in poor or developing countries can hardly earn a living despite of being full-time employed.

  6. Example for test tasks What does the text argue? Please tick the two correct sentences.

  7. Pre-Post-Design of Research • initial reading test meant to give evidence about reading deficiencies • training of reading strategies in the main and not in the control group • second reading test to measure the improvement of the reading literacy of the main group in comparison to the control group

  8. Design of Interventions • In the domain of the formation of masters of education, we have to invigorate the capacity of teaching aside knowledge and capacity
