Repeated Reading Method: Case Study of English Language Teaching at Graduate Level in the University of Sindh

Abstract

Various English language teaching methods, such as Grammar Translation Method and Lecture Method, have proved to be unproductive in developing reading skills of learners at the graduate level. This descriptive research study attempts to investigate the efficacy of Repeated Reading Method in order to develop reading skills and comprehension of learners. Repeated Reading is now practiced at the graduate level in the University of Sindh as an effective approach in developing reading skills of the language learners. Though various research studies carried out at different levels have suggested a set of implications, but those have been found not implemented at the graduate level in the University of Sindh. Hence this research is carried out in the light of hypothesis derived from current researches into the matter and the practice of Repeated Reading Method in the University. On the basis of the findings of this case study, it is recommended that Repeated Reading Method, if properly instructed, would be an effective method to develop reading skills of learners.
