Abstract

This study aimed to probe whether using the backward summary technique led to reading comprehension enhancement among non-English major university students at the Islamic Azad University of Babol, located in Babol city, in the North of Iran. 120 B.S. level nursing and microbiology students were randomly selected from a population of non-English majors enrolled for the General English course, divided into four groups of 30, and were randomly assigned to two experimental and two control groups. A pre-test of reading comprehension was administered to all groups, and then, they were taught passages t read for eight sessions but with different methods. A one-way ANCOVA was run to investigate the impact of the intervention, while controlling for the pre-test. The results indicated statistically significant effects for the experimental groups on the post-test, regarding comprehension, retention, and organization of the key concepts.

后向总结技术对提高非英语专业学生阅读理解能力的影响
本研究旨在探讨在位于伊朗北部巴布尔市的巴布尔伊斯兰阿扎德大学,使用反向总结技术是否能提高非英语专业大学生的阅读理解能力。120名护理和微生物学学士级学生从普通英语课程的非英语专业学生中随机选择,分为四组,每组30人,并被随机分配到两个实验组和两个对照组。所有小组都进行了阅读理解的预测试,然后用不同的方法教授他们八节课的阅读段落。进行单向ANCOVA以调查干预的影响,同时控制预测试。结果表明,实验组在测试后对关键概念的理解、保留和组织方面产生了统计学上的显著影响。
