I
– Summary of the Study
;
Since language is important in the humanbeings, life
generally and the students particularly, so teaching ,it
as a school subject starts from the first year of the
elementary stage.
Language has main four
skills, which are in order; listening, speaking ,reading
and writing.each one
of these skills a special importance in the life of both
the individual and the society.
As reading forms one
of the important information opening and a tool of culture
by which one can get the intellectual product of
humanbeings , so reading is considered the most important
language art skill.
Because of this
importance , was the holly order from Allah to his
prophet Mohamed ( PBUH ) in Al-‘Ala
q 1,2,3 sura ,,proclaim,, (read)
In the name of thy
lord and cherisher, who created
2-created
man, out of a leech-like clot.
3-proclaim
and thy lord is most bountiful
‘
-
may this holy order
emphasize on the importance of reading.
Aloud reading has a great
importance because it is accompanied with the human beings
in many situations in their life.
Inspite of this
importance especially to the pupil, yet the real
conditions reveal the pupils weakness in the early years
of the formal instruction which is still alive.
Starting from what the
previous researches and studies which emphasized on the
weak level of the pupils in the Aloud reading and the
consistency and effectiveness of the theatre in treating
many of the studying problems besides developing the
different language skills, was this study to answer the
main following questions;
–
How can the
instructional theatre be used ( or employed ) to develop
Aloud reading skills ?
other questions are
derived of the main questions, which are
;
1
– How for can the
pupils in second grade of elementary stage master Aloud
reading skills?
2
–what is the imagined
suggestion of using the instructional theatre in
developing the Aloud reading skills for pupils of the
second grade of elementary stage?
3 – How effective is the instructional theatre in
developing some skills of the Aloud reading for pupils
second grade of elementary stage?
II
– limitations of the study;
This study is limited
only to ;
1-
pupils of St
preparatory, chosen because ;
-
This grade is considered
both a beginning of a new instructional stage and an end
of a former stage.
-
Most
teachers of this stage complain of the pupils, weakness in
the Aloud reading.
-
treating the pupils
‘ mistakes in this grade will have a positive
effect on the following grades.
2-
the ministry’s
textbooks without regarding the external books to connect
the pupils to the textbooks.
3
–Some Aloud reading
skills which were determined by the results of field study
concerning the pupils’ weakness in the Aloud reading .
4
– Some schools of
‘ Abukbeir’ which include pupils from both the
country and the city to represent the original Society.
III
– Hypotheses of the study
;
Tried to gain proof of
the following hypotheses;
1
– there are no
significant instructional differences between the averages
of the two groups’( the experimental & the control )
scores in the pre – application of the observation sheet
in the Aloud reading skills .
2
– there statistical
differences between the two averages of both the
experimental and the control groups in the post –
application of the Aloud reading skills , in favour of the
experimental group.
3
– there are
significant statistical differences between the
averages of the experimental group in both the
Aloud reading skills, in favour of the post application
.
IV
– procedures of the study
;
To
answer the questions which determined the problem of the
study, and to gain proof of its hypotheses, the researcher
prepared the following steps;
1
– preparing an
observation sheet for the pupils of the second elementary
stage’s performance in the Aloud reading
2
– Building the
imagined suggestion of using the instructional theatre in
developing the Aloud reading skills for pupils in the
second grade of the elementary stage .
3-
Determing the
effectiveness of the imagine suggestion through;
a ) Choosing the sample
of the study and dividing it into two groups (experimental
& contrd ).
b ) Applying the sheet
card formerly on the study’s two groups
c) teaching the chosen
materials to the experimental groups .
d ) Applying the sheet
card Latterly on both the study’s groups ( the
experimental & contrd ).
4
– Extracting the
Renaults, discussing them, explaining them and
givingrecommen –
dations.
V
– Results of
the study ;
-
the
most important results which the study has reached, are
;
1
– there are no
significant statistical between the two averages of the
two groups’ ( the experimental and the control ) scores,
in every skill, and in the total sum of all the skills in
the pre – application of the observation sheet , which
indicates the equality of the two sample’s level, and also
their similarity in the Aloud reading skills before the
performance of the experiment .
2
– there are
significant statistical differences between the
two averages of the two groups ( the experimental
and the control ) scores in the post- application of the
observation sheet, in favour of the experimental group in
every single skill, and in the total sum of all the
skills, which indicates the effective
j ness of the instructional theatre in developing
every skill and all the skills.
There are significant
statistical differences between the two averages of both
the pre – and the post
– applications of pupils of the experimental group
in every single skill and in the total sum of all the
skills.
So, depending on what
this study has reached of results, the researcher
emphasize on the effectiveness of the instructional
theatre as an instructional approach which has a great
effect in developing the skills of the Aloud reading .4
– through discussing
the pupils about the mid year and final exams, it is clear
that the importance of the theatre is not limited
– only to being a tool which has an effect on
developing the reading’s skills but also on the pupils’
studying level, of the experimental group , as comparing
to their mates.
