This study aims to propose using English reading strategies to enhance Intercultural Communicative Competence (ICC) for EFL learners. The study recruited college-level participants who were enrolled in a general English reading course (N=30) and administrated the surveys with a Repeated Measures Design (RMD). In the survey, an intercultural sensitivity scale and metacognitive reading strategies inventory were conducted for comparison. During the instruction, participants were asked to use the R.I.D.E.R. (i.e. Read, Image, Describe, Evaluate, and Repeat) strategy for visualization of text, which is aimed at facilitating the use of metacognitive reading strategies. In the results, participants showed a statistically significant increase both in the intercultural sensitivity level and the use of metacognitive reading strategies after the practice of R.I.D.E.R for one semester. Further analysis was appended to the results by the correlation and regression analysis, and proposed that participants benefit their development of intercultural sensitivity from the use of metacognitive reading strategies. Therefore, the study suggests that implementing metacognitive reading strategies facilitates college EFL readers to increase their cultural sensitivity, which empowers ICC through English reading (176words).

This paper examines Korean EFL high school students' reader responses on an expository text and a narrative text with the same topic. The purpose of the study is to investigate whether they have different reading models depending on the two genres and whether there are any differences depending on the learners' proficiency levels. The analysis focuses on textual, critical, and aesthetic reading models in the reader responses written in English by science-gifted high school students (N=30). The results show that the participants have different reading models in reading an expository text and a narrative text. They tend to read the expository text in a more critical way while reading the narrative text in a more personal and emotional way. Moreover, regardless of the proficiency levels, they wrote longer responses on the narrative text than the expository text. However, the proficiency level of English does not support any significant differences in the types of reading models. The findings provide Korean EFL high school students' characteristics in L2 reading and suggest the pedagogical implication to pursue linguistic development as well as reading for pleasure.

This case study aimed to explore proficient EFL readers' perceptions and experiences about reading tasks and how those perceptions and experiences influence their reading processing behaviors, and to examine how the cultural background of a text affects their reading strategies and comprehension. Three college students who were non-English majors participated in this study. Three data sources were employed: questionnaires, interviews, and think-alouds. The results showed that: (1) the participants emphasized comprehension as the goal of reading and considered themselves good EFL readers; (2) their reading purposes were closely associated with personal pursuits; (3) they preferred to read materials that deal with areas of interest but did not try to take a risk in terms of level of difficulty and/or length; (4) they implemented a multistrategic approach to reading in that the majority of their strategy use was in conjunction with their concern about meaning construction; (5) they were able to develop useful understandings of unknown vocabulary; and (6) their clear awareness of the cultural background presupposed in the text helped them invoke prior knowledge and reduce unknown vocabulary hindrances which contributed to comprehension. Pedagogical implications for EFL reading instruction are provided.

이 논문에서는 다양한 매체 환경 속에서 살아가는 어린이들에게 독서는 어떤 의미이며, 그들의 특성과 독서에 대한 인식에 대해서 알아보고 나아가 독서교육은 어떠한 방향으로 행해져야 하는지에 대해 살펴보았다. 그리고 전 세계적으로 일고있는 어린이 독서운동의 국내외적인 사례를 살펴보고, 이에 우리나라의 어린이 독서운동을 성공적으로 이끌기 위해 공공도서관의 역할과 방안에 대해 논의하였다. 공공도서관은 어린이와 책을 연결해주는 매개자로서의 소임을 다해야 하며, 공동체 문화의 형성과 마음의 상처를 치유하는 한 방법으로 공공도서관이 중심이 되어 세대를 이어주는 이야기문화를 부활시켜야 한다. 그리고 무엇보다 절대적으로 부족하고 열악한 어린이 독서환경 개선을 위해서 지방자치 단체에서는 '어린이도서관'을 설치하는 데 힘써야 하며. 학계와 도서관협회 및 도서관 현장에서는 어린이 독서운동을 지속적이고 체계적으로 이끌어갈 주체인 어린이 전문사서의 양성을 위해 교육적, 제도적 뒷받침을 해야 한다.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effectiveness and value of reading, the role of reading for character building and reading education for the character building instruction. A great book can change a person's life and future. Especially, reading in the juvenile period is important because of their intellectual curiosity and sensitivity. The results of the study were as follows. (1) In order to solve the problem of the dehumanization, and the confusion of the sense of value among young adults, we should enrich and cultivate the character of young adults through the reading education. (2) The effects of reading for personality are verbal effects, experimental effects, cultural effects, reformational effects and recreational effects etc. (3) The value of reading in the past were inspiration, information and recreation. But, in recent times, the interest in therapeutic value of reading is increasing. The theraputic value of reading is identification, catharsis and insights of one's problem through the character in the works. (4) The role of reading for the character building are the assistance of self-realization, the promotion of self-regulation and the assistance of self-understanding. (5) Psychological needs causing reading activity are the desire to escape from reality, better socialization, recreation and pleasure. (6) The mechanism of character building through the reading are the enlargement of experience, better adjustment to the environment and the society. (7) Reading education for the solution of developmental tasks of the young adults is important. The standard reading lists of Japan Reading Society, the list compiled by Lee Kyung-Sik and the list of Park Yong Doo are the example of the selected reading list for the solution of developmental tasks.

이 연구는 학교도서관 관련 연구학교 보고서를 분석하여 학교도서관 활용교육의 특징과 문제점을 식별하고 개선방안을 논의하는 것을 목적으로 하였다. 에듀넷의 연구학교 사이트에 탑재된 중 고등학교 보고서 23편을 내용분석하여 각 학교가 수행한 도서관활용교육의 실천내용을 13가지로 분류하였다. 가장 많이 실시한 활동은 장서확충, 독서행사, 도서관활용수업(LAI), DLS 활용이었으며, 학습동기 유발에서부터 자기주도적 학습능력 증진에 이르기까지 교육목표로 추구하는 다양한 효과를 창출하였다. 그러나 도서관활용수업이 DLS를 사용한 독서활동에 지나치게 의존하고 있으며, 시간과 자료의 부족으로 정보탐색활동은 거의 이루어지지 않고 있다는 문제점이 있다. 도서관활용수업이 추구하는 자기주도적 학습능력을 함양하기 위해서는 도서관의 정보활동을 통하여 어떤 교육경험을 어떤 방법으로 제공할 것인가에 대해 교육과정과 연계하여 더 치밀하게 계획할 필요가 있다.

This study investigated the effects on young children's vocabulary and reading ability of the comprehensive language-teaching program using web-based picture books. The comprehensive language program was put into operation for 9 weeks with a classroom teacher who had in-service training for this program. The language course for the 23 children in the control group consisted only of ordinary language activities using teacher-made picture cards. Test results analyzed by t-test showed that the 25 children in the experimental group gained more than the control group on reading attitude including the concept of reading, accuracy, verbal expression, participation, contents and originality. Also, the ability to read a fairy tale aloud increased in the experimental group.

This research primarily aimed to investigate proficient and less proficient EFL readers' awareness and experiences about learning to read and reading in English. The secondary purpose was to explore the participants' reading strategies, and to discover how the genres of English texts influence their reading processing behaviors. The participants consisted of four college students in engineering aged 21-25 years. Three data sources were employed: questionnaires, interviews, and think-alouds. The findings revealed that: (1) the proficient EFL readers judged themselves to be good readers, while the less proficient EFL readers judged themselves to be fair readers; (2) unknown vocabulary was perceived to be the major impediment to reading comprehension; the think-aloud data, however, demonstrated that unknown vocabulary did not significantly interfere with their reading comprehension; (3) regardless of the genre of the text, the participants employed similar reading strategies; (4) the participants were more likely to tolerate ambiguity and predict the content when reading the narrative text than the expository text; (5) there was no set of strategies that distinguished proficient EFL readers from less proficient EFL readers; and (6) when identifying problems, the proficient EFL readers used fix-up strategies more effectively and were better able to provide satisfactory solutions than their counterparts. Pedagogical implications for EFL reading instruction are discussed.
