An investigation of pre-service teachers' current reading strategies and future reading classrooms
Keywords:
A single case study, English language teaching, pre-service teachers, reading activity, reading strategiesAbstract
The way pre-service teachers view and use reading strategies allegedly influences their future pedagogical practice and in turn, plays a crucial role in the development of students’ reading engagement. This study attempts to investigate the pre-service teachers' current use of reading strategies. Next, it investigates the pre-service teachers' view of carrying out reading activities in their future teaching. The present study utilizes a single case study method by deploying interviews and questionnaires. The participants pertain to 37 Indonesian pre-service teachers majoring in English language education. The analysis results in the fact that although the pre-service teachers are sufficiently aware of the importance of teaching reading to their future students, they employ a relatively limited area of reading strategies and use an inconsiderable amount of time in their current reading activity. These results lead to some recommendations that are discussed further.
