In order to effectively improve students’ Chinese reading comprehension abilities, this study adopted computer-assisted language learning as a platform and developed a personalized computer-assisted reading learning system (CARLS) based on picture supplemented learning mode as well as multiple reading comprehension strategies. Teaching experiments were conducted to compare the effectiveness of CARLS against traditional instruction incorporating multiple reading comprehension strategies. The participants were 72 Taiwanese students in the fourth grade of elementary schools who are native Chinese speakers. The pre-test was conducted to gauge their reading comprehension abilities, with the results used to divide the participants into the experimental and control groups. One-way ANOVA confirmed that the initial abilities of the two groups were equivalent. The experimental group took a reading course using CARLS, while the control group followed the traditional book-based method. In the first and third weeks after completing the reading course, the participants took a post-test and delayed post-test, respectively. Finally, repeat measure ANOVA was used to analyze the results of all three tests. The results indicated that while the two groups demonstrated comparable reading abilities before the experiment, the experimental group showed significant improvements in their learning outcomes over the control group after the experiment, validating the effectiveness of this CARLS system. |
