The effects of reading-while-listening and the cloze procedure on the reading ability and grammatical proficiency of ESL students Tennant, Susan Mary
Abstract
This study investigated the effects of repeated reading-while-listening in conjunction with cloze exercises on the reading ability and grammatical proficiency of 14 secondary level English as a Second Language students. The experimental group completed 17 cloze exercises at the rate of one per week. The method of presentation had three steps: the viewing of a film strip while listening to the accompanying commercially-produced tape, an attempt to complete a short written cloze exercise (every 10th word deleted) on a passage transcribed from the tape, and four attempts to complete the cloze exercise while simultaneously listening to the taped, unmutilated version. The Gates-MacGinitie Reading Test, Level E, and the Structure Test—English Language, Advanced Level were administered both before and after the treatment period. A teacher-constructed reading/listening cloze posttest and an attitude questionnaire were administered after the treatment. Separate analyses of covariance indicated a significant difference between the experimental group and the control group on the Gates-MacGinitie Reading Test, F (1,26) = 6.997, P
