Abstract

Proficiency with sentence-level features of language is essential for reading comprehension of academic texts, especially for early adolescents who face increasingly complex, discipline-specific texts as they enter upper elementary and middle school. However, little research has been done to explore instruction in sentence-level features. This qualitative case study explores how a sixth-grade social studies teacher developed knowledge of sentence-level features and implemented sentence-level instruction through a professional learning inquiry, as well as how 3 sixth-grade students responded to challenging sentences as a result of this instruction. Findings from thematic analyses of both teacher and student data sources indicate that increased metalinguistic awareness of sentence-level features in the teacher participant was essential to effective, discipline-specific instruction in sentence-level features. Additionally, explicit instruction in sentence-level features led to increased metalinguistic awareness in students, which supported their comprehension of challenging sentences.

探究教师和学生的句子级语言特征知识
熟练掌握语言的句子级特征对于阅读理解学术文本至关重要,尤其是对于进入小学和中学的早期青少年来说,他们面临着越来越复杂的、特定学科的文本。然而,很少有研究探讨句子层次特征的教学。本定性案例研究探讨了一名六年级社会研究教师如何通过专业学习探究发展句子水平特征的知识并实施句子水平教学,以及三名六年级学生如何因该教学而对具有挑战性的句子做出反应。对教师和学生数据源的主题分析结果表明,教师参与者对句子水平特征的元语言学意识的提高对于句子水平特征方面的有效、针对特定学科的教学至关重要。此外,句子层次特征的显性教学提高了学生的元语言学意识,这有助于他们理解具有挑战性的句子。
