Abstract | ||||
The researcher aimed at investigating effectiveness of a program based on connectivism theory in developing EFL reading comprehension skills of preparatory stage pupils. To address this issue, a diagnostic test, a checklist of some reading comprehension sub – skills and a questionnaire were used to pave the way for the researcher to determine the most needed sub – skills. The researcher prepared the proposed program, a pre-post test, reflection logs and a satisfaction questionnaire. (n=62) prep-stage pupils were randomly selected to represent the participants of the study. Findings showed that there are statistically significant differences at the level of (0.01) between the mean scores of the experimental group and the control group in pre -post test in favour of the experimental group. Findings also showed that the program positively influenced the experimental group’ performance. In the light of the findings, the researcher provided some pedagogical implications and suggestions for further studies. | ||||
