FLUENT READING FROM PAST TO PRESENT

Öz

In this research; views on the components, assessment, teaching and theoretical structure of fluent reading in the period from the early 20th Century to the present were presented in parallel with its process of development. It was discussed, in light of the literature, whether fluent reading is a skill based on simple repetition and explained by theory of automatization; the processes it has gone through in its process of development; how the definitions of fluent reading have changed over time; and whether cognitive psychology has had an impact upon this process of change. Examples of fluent reading strategies that could be implemented by individuals or groups are presented. Its connection with comprehension was addressed and the importance of modeling in the development of prosody was stressed. Moreover, points related to fluent reading that still remain ambiguous were discussed. Finally, the importance of fluent reading in both social and academic lives is addressed and various suggestions were presented.

GEÇMİŞTEN GÜNÜMÜZE AKICI OKUMA

Öz

Bu araştırmada, 20. yüzyılın başından günümüze kadar olan sürede akıcı okumanın, bileşenleri, değerlendirilmesi, öğretimi ve kuramsal yapısı hakkındaki görüşler, gelişim sürecine paralel olarak sunulmuştur. Akıcı okumanın basit tekrara dayalı ve otomatikleşme teorisi ile açıklanabilen bir beceri olup olmadığı; gelişim süresince hangi aşamalardan geçtiği, akıcı okumanın tanımlarının zaman içerisinde nasıl değiştiği ve bu değişimde bilişsel psikolojinin etkisinin olup olmadığı literatür ışığında tartışılarak verilmiştir. Akıcı okumanın uygulanması konusunda bireysel ve grupla uygulanabilen stratejilerden örnekler verilmiştir. Akıcı okumanın anlama ile ilişkisi üzerinde durulmuş ve prozodinin gelişiminde modellemenin öneminden bahsedilmiştir. Akıcı okuma ile ilgili henüz belirsizliği giderilmemiş noktalara da dikkat çekilmiştir. Akıcı okumanın hem sosyal hem de akademik yaşantıdaki önemi üzerinde durularak çeşitli önerilerde bulunulmuştur.
