L-1-Assisted Reciprocal Teaching To Improve ESL Students' Comprehension of English Expository Text.

Peer reviewed

Fung, Irene Y. Y.; Wilkinson, Ian A. G.; Moore, Dennis W. – Learning and Instruction, 2002

Studied the effects of Language 1-assisted (L1) reciprocal teaching (in this case, Mandarin) on the comprehension of English expository text by 12 year-7 and year-8 (grades 6 and 7) Taiwanese students. The use of reciprocal L1 and L2 (English) teaching appeared to increase comprehension when reading L1 and L2 texts. (SLD)
