Eskey and Grabe, 1988; Perfetti, 1985; and Swaffar, 1988) Approaches to teaching reading materials in a foreign language have attempted to reflect this development through recommendations of interactive exercises and tasks Based on what successful reading is, many reading specialists have come to agreement that reading lessons should follow such a framework as: pre-, during-, and postreading instruction (Barnett, 1989; Brown, 2001; Grabe, 1991; Grabe and Stoller, 2001; Wallace, 1992) Barnett (1989) and Grabe and Stoller (2001) made a brief explanation about each type of instruction Pre-reading instruction makes students interested in a text and predicts the content of it through accessing necessary information or activating schema While-reading instruction helps students read strategically, mainly focusing on decoding skills Post-reading instruction deepens students‟ comprehension into the text It is also emphasized that the activities in this framework are not limited to reading “Reading is no longer isolated” (Eskey & Grabe, 1988, p.231) As in real life, reading activities should be integrated with other skills - speaking, listening, and especially writing (Eskey & Grabe, 1988; Grabe, 1991; Grabe & Stoller, 2001) Accordingly, some of the activities should help students to develop other skills besides the reading Such kind of integration of the four skills will enable students to use more varieties of strategies more often, generating more interaction between the reader and the text Teaching and learning reading comprehension have been identified by various researchers in both second and foreign language contexts (Barnett, 1989; Brown, 2001; Grabe, 1991; Grabe & Stoller, 2001; Wallace, 1992) However little empirical research have been conducted to uncover the methods of teaching reading comprehension used by Vietnamese teachers, especially by teachers at BA-STC To address this gap, my study will investigate the reality of teaching and learning reading for non-English major first year students at this training center At BA-STC, students are required to take an English course in two terms in the first year The aim of this course is to equip students the general English program, consisting of four skills: listening, speaking, reading and writing In the first term of the first year, the students learned English in 45 periods of the New Headway Elementary After 12 weeks, the students had a final test that consisted of four parts: Vocabulary, Grammar and Reading comprehension and Writing The result of the final test in the first term showed us a surprising number: 72 percent of all the students (115) got bad marks in the reading comprehension section of the English test, although they had good marks in the other parts of the test I would like to look into different aspects and try to find out the reasons leading to this bad situation One of the main reasons lies in the fact that the teachers often simply give students a text and require them to answer a series of comprehension questions when they have finished reading the text The teachers almost nothing to provide them with the skills or strategies needed to become efficient and independent readers For the lack of necessary strategies for teaching reading comprehension, it is more likely to have poor reading comprehension results Therefore, in this study I intend to carry out some research in the reality of teaching and learning reading comprehension for non-English major first year students at BA-STC and basing on the findings and discussions to help to increase the effectiveness of teaching and learning reading comprehension at this training center Aim of the study The purpose of this study is: - To address teachers‟ and students‟ difficulties in teaching and learning reading comprehension - To investigate students‟ attitude towards reading skill and understand their learning needs and learning style - To make some suggestions to improve the current situation Research question This study aimed at the reality of teaching and learning reading comprehension at BA-STC and more specifically to answer the following questions: How teachers actually deliver the reading lesson at BA-STC? What difficulties teachers and students encounter while teaching and learning reading comprehension? What are students‟ attitudes towards teachers‟ activities in a reading lesson? Significance of the study My present study is significant for some reasons Firstly, investigating the reality of teaching and learning reading comprehension helps the researcher to understand clearly how teachers taught reading and how students learned reading at BA-STC, the difficulties the teachers and students experienced while teaching and learning reading and students‟ preference towards the teacher‟s methods of teaching From this result, the study will make some important discussions to improve the quality of teaching and learning reading in the target college Moreover, these instructions may help teachers of English at BA-STC in their teaching careers Research methodology 5.1 Data collection instruments A description of the methodology was employed in this study First, the classroom observation was chosen to find out actually how a reading lesson was taught From the result of the observation, the researcher carried out three semi-structured interviews to 42
