Abstract
The aim of this research was to investigate the effectiveness a
Multisensory _Based program on developing EFL reading skills among
primary school pupils. The researcher designed a program consists of
(16) sessions to develop EFL reading skills among primary school pupils.
Multiple data collection and data analysis methods were used with a
group of 40 fifth year primary school pupils. They were taught the
program based on the Multisensory Based Program on 14 sessions; twice
a week; 90 minutes each. Comparison of pre-and post-tests on the reading
skills revealed improvement on these variables .The SPSS statistic
program was used for analyzing the data. The independent samples t-test
was used to compare the pupils’ performance on EFL reading skills.
Results showed that
1. There is a statistically significant difference between the mean
scores of the pre-test and those of the post test of the research
group on the overall reading skills in favor of the post test.
2. There is a statistically significant difference between the mean
scores of the pre-test and those of the post test of the research group on the phonemic awareness skills (Rhyme, Onset and rime,
Blending, Segmenting) in favor of the post test.
3. There is a statistically significant difference between the mean
scores of the pre-test and those of the post test of the research
group on the reading accuracy skills (Sight word efficiency,
Decoding efficiency) in favor of the post test.
4. There is a statistically significant difference between the mean
scores of the pre-test and those of the post test of the research
group on the reading comprehension skills in favor of the post test.
5. There is a statistically significant difference between the mean
scores of the pre-test and those of the post test of the research
group on the spelling skills in favor of the post test.
5.2 Conclusion
The current research investigated the effectiveness of the
Multisensory_ Based program in developing EFL reading skills. The
researcher designed EFL reading skills test .The test was administered
before the experimentation for the experimental group and revealed
weakness in pupils’ reading skills. The researcher prepared the
Multisensory-Based program to develop EFL reading skills. The program
was taught for the experimental group. The EFL reading skills test was
administered after the experimentation. The results revealed a noticed
development in the experimental groups’ reading skills. It was concluded
that the Multisensory_ Based program was effective in developing The
EFL reading skills of the fifth year primary school pupils
5.3 Recommendations
Based on the results of the present research, the following
recommendations are suggested:
1. More teachers should be encouraged to use the Multisensory
regularly.
2. Teachers should be provided with specific training programs to
use the Multisensory interactive features.
3. Students should be provided with specific training programs to
prepare them to use the Multisensory programs.
4. The time that teachers spend learning how to use the
Multisensory activities should be recognized.
5. There should be technical support strategies for teachers who
regularly use the Multisensory programs and activities so that
they feel genuinely supported.
6. Teachers’ awareness of students’ motivation to apply various
strategies should be raised to stimulate their taste for learning.
7. All future teachers should be trained in pedagogical and
interactive uses of the Multisensory programs.
8. Assessment of the uses, benefits, and challenges of the
Multisensory learning in class should be continued.
9. Further action research and case studies on educational
integration of the Multisensory should be conducted.
10. Multisensory should be one of the important alternatives while
implementing new education programs. Additional lesson
materials are required.
4.5 Suggestions for further research
The research offers the following suggestions for further research:
1- The impact of using more Multisensory programs for various grade
levels.
2- Additional research is needed to use more Multisensory to do
different activities that pupils use in learning EFL.
3- The effect of using Multisensory programs on developing pupils’
motivation towards learning EFL, and teachers’ attitudes towards
using Multisensory activities.
4- The effect of using Multisensory on developing other EFL skills
(e.g. speaking and writing(
5- Further research regarding the applications and benefits of the
Multisensory use with special needs students in terms of
accommodations and learning modalities that could be introduced
using the Multisensory.
6- Teacher issues involving the types of training, support, and
professional development also merit further research.
7- There should be more investigation involving Multisensory and
other aspects as student behavior; teacher attitudes, the
effectiveness of the various types of lessons created, Multisensory
proficiency, or the teaching methodologies utilized.
