  • This study investigated how EFL readers critically read texts which are written in English. Although critical reading has been discussed in advanced EFL and ESL contexts there has not been much research on the critical reading of beginning EFL learners. Many educators are recommending that a critical perspective be adopted so that L2 learners can become empowered rather than indoctrinated. In this study, the researcher has examined the critical reading practices of five beginning level EFL readers in Korea and five first language readers of English in the United States as they read a news editorial article. The significant findings were discussed related to critical reading practice of L2 readers. The findings of the study can help the educators in English education in improving the curriculum, the teaching methodology and the learning theory for EFL reading for critical reading.

  • This study examined how a Structured Reading Framework (SRF) is related to improving students' critical thinking ability in an argument-based inquiry approach, called the Science Writing Heuristic (SWH) approach. A total of 75 $8^{th}$ graders participated in the study, with 34 in the control group and 41 in the treatment group. The gains in critical thinking skills were compared between two groups, and relationships among the components of the reading framework and the critical thinking skills were explored at the group level. Result indicates that the treatment group who used the SRF had larger gains in critical thinking scores than control group who used the Original Reading Framework (ORF). In addition, results show that the correlations between Reading Framework (RF) components and critical thinking scores are statistically significant in the treatment group, while no correlations exist in the control group. It appears that using the SRF have an impact on developing students' critical thinking ability by providing a scaffold to assist argumentation practice.

  • This article examines the ways in which language can be exploited in the manipulation of the reader's interpretation of a text to make him/her take certain lines of thought according to the writer's persuasive intents. Such functions of language provide valid foundations to support the teaching of critical reading skills and to explore an adequate approach to discourse analysis. A pilot study was conducted to find out the extent to which the reader can be coaxed into thinking in some fashions guided by specific linguistic devices employed for ideological texts. Forty-seven subjects divided into two groups (humanities majors and natural science majors at undergraduate level) joined the two-fold questionnaire surveys intended to look at their critical reading abilities. The empirical results indicate that college students whose majors are humanities were more inclined to take a holistic approach in processing commercial advertisement texts and their abilities for critical interpretation appeared to be lower than those of the subjects whose majors are natural sciences, who showed a relatively high tendency to take an analytical approach in decoding the textual facts. As a consequence, pedagogic implications for increasing critical reading abilities have resulted in a set of analytical procedures concerning ideological texts which is linked with instructional guidelines to emphasize the importance of the reader's logical and analytical reasoning power, entirely accepted as a general prerequisite for cracking the covert language gambits.

  • 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.

  • 청소년의 진로 교육에서 다양한 교육적 시도가 이루어지고 있음에도 불구하고 진로성숙에 필요한 독서 방법을 제시하지 못하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 인지적 관점에서의 독서가 진로성숙에 미치는 영향을 파악하고 이 과정에서 자기효능감의 매개효과를 확인하고자 한다. 2015 개정 교육과정에 제시된 독서방법을 차용하였으며 중학생을 대상으로 인터뷰를 진행하고 설문 데이터를 통계적으로 분석하여 독서방법, 자기효능감, 진로성숙의 관계를 확인하였다. 연구 결과 비판적 읽기는 진로 결정성, 확신성에 영향을 주며 감상적 읽기와 창의적 읽기는 진로 준비성에 영향을 미쳤다. 또한 비판적 읽기는 자기효능감의 자신감, 자기조절효능감, 과제난이도선호에 영향을 미치고 창의적 읽기는 자기조절효능감에 영향을 미쳤다. 비판적 읽기는 자기효능감을 매개하여 진로성숙에 영향을 주는 것을 확인하였다. 본 연구는 진로독서교육에서 진로성숙과 자기효능감 발달을 위한 학습요소를 밝혔다는 점에서 의의가 있다.

  • 한국인은 독서를 잘 하지 않기로 정평이 나 있다. 그 이유는 어디에 있을까\ulcorner 독서부진의 요인은 무엇일까\ulcorner 한국인 독서부진 요인을 구조적, 다면적으로 진단하고 조사하여 그 요인을 명확히 추출하고 정리하면 독서부진을 개선할 방안이 마련된다. 한국인 독서부진 요인의 진단, 분석을 역사적 측면, 사회적ㆍ교육적 측면, 정신적ㆍ심리적 측면에서 고찰하여 그 주된 원인을 밝혀내고 그에 대한 해소책과 독서문제 해결방안을 강구하고자 한다. 결론적으로 한국인 독서부진 원인을 찾아내고, 독서 저해요인을 해소할 뿐아니라, 독서조장 요인을 제시하므로서 한국인들의 독서수준과 독서율을 향상시키고자 한다.

  • 본 연구는 도서관에서 초등학생을 대상으로 하브루타 기반의 독서토론 프로그램을 수행한 후 참여자들에게 어떠한 영향을 미쳤는지 효과를 측정하고 분석함으로써, 독서토론 프로그램을 보다 활성화하기 위한 시사점을 모색하고자 수행되었다. 그 결과로는, 첫째, 하브루타 독서토론 프로그램 효과성에 대한 사전 및 사후점수 간 비교분석을 진행한 결과 사후조사 평균 점수가 높은 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 참여자의 일반적 특성에 따라 사전조사 대비 사후조사 결과 변화에 나타난 차이를 분석한 결과, '비판적 독서능력' 요인에 대해서는 '독서에 대한 흥미' 특성, '비판적 사고능력' 요인에 대해서는 '월 평균 독서량' 특성, '조사능력' 요인에 대해서는 '학업성적' 특성, '설득능력' 요인에 대해서는 '성별', '학업성적', '독서에 대한 흥미' 특성이 유의미한 차이가 있는 것으로 밝혀졌다. 셋째, 하브루타 독서토론 프로그램의 효과는 독서 및 토론능력 구성 요인에 따라 어떠한 영향을 받는지 분석한 결과, '비판적 독서능력' 요인과 '비판적 사고능력' 요인이 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 이로써 도서관에서 하브루타 기반 독서토론 프로그램의 효과와 장점이 있다는 것을 파악하였다.

  • Speech-print mapping awareness is defined as the awareness of the principles underpinning how speech sound is matched to print symbols. Chinese is unique in that it follows the one syllable one character mapping principle. The present study examined the predictive power of speech-print mapping awareness in young children's word reading. Seventy-four Hong Kong children from the first and second kindergarten years were tested with phonological awareness, visual skills, syllable-level mapping awareness, and Chinese reading ability at Time 1. Chinese reading abilities were tested again 1 year later. It was found that syllable-level mapping awareness predicted Chinese word reading abilities 12 months later. Further, it seemed that the link of syllable mapping to Chinese reading is particularly significant for beginning readers. The findings suggest that understanding the language-specific speech-print mapping principle is critical for reading acquisition at the early stage of reading development.
