English Learning Choices Of Primary School Students And The Position Of Reading

Abstract

Reading is a pivotal skill to improve English language learning. Reading and listening skills are both great ways to learn English. Currently, computer programs and television programs are adapted children to learn English. In this study, it is aimed to examine the English learning choices of our primary class students in Tekden Collage and the position of English books reading on English learning. Additionally this study displays the motivations of the students on English learning according to their choices. This prospective study is done with 112 Tekden Collage Students in class 4. The mean age of the students is 9,777 ± 0,532 (11-8). The answer of question of “which one of the alternatives do you chose to improve your English at your home” was the statistically significant higher in “computer usage” than English program watching in television, English books reading, and family practice, respectively (% 54, % 25, % 18, % 3, p=0.001). Family practice due to improve English is the least chosen alternative from the students. In this study, the most common answer of the question “which one is you needed to learn English” was to foreign language education (% 28).  This is the first study to show the choices and necessities of the primary class students on English learning.
