'Reading before Class with a Partner' and 'Re-Reading after Class': Novel Reading Strategies of Graduate Students
Altalouli, Mahmoud
Reading Matrix: An International Online Journal, v23 n1 p122-144 Apr 2023
Academic English reading is among the literacies that many students using English as an additional language may need to change in order to meet new demands when they enter a new context of higher education. Academic reading in English involves more than studying in an additional language. Students must also learn and use new academic reading practices of a particular discipline. Drawing on the theoretical lenses of academic literacies and agency, this study presents novel reading strategies that six graduate students for whom English is an additional language at a U.S. university developed to achieve their goals in a graduate course. The study used a qualitative methodology involving data collected through classroom observations of the graduate course over one semester; interviews with each of the six focal students; and the collection of course documents and student written assignments. Results from the study may prove useful to higher education instructors.
