CIRC Learning Model for Reading Comprehension of French Language

Abstract

Reading comprehension is a third language skill that must be mastered after speaking. What is expected of this skill is that learners can apply their understanding of the language to obtain information from reading. However, the reality found in the class shows that many learners complain about the difficulty of understanding sentences in a text, especially in the French language. This study aims to determine whether the CIRC model improves students' French reading comprehension before and after learning using the CIRC model. The use of the CIRC model for Reading Comprehension aims to improve the quality of students’ comprehension in obtaining French textual information. Its application to French reading comprehension is based on previous similar studies which state that this model is appropriate to be applied to improve reading comprehension skills. The research method of this study is a qualitative study with a classroom action research design. There were two cycles in this study, Cycle 1 was a research procedure before the CIRC model was applied and Cycle 2 was after the model was applied. Direct observations were made in the classroom during the RC learning process. Four learning steps that maximize individual abilities in group learning such as (1) the Planning phase, (2) the Implementation phase, (3) the Observation phase, and (4) the Reflection phase, produce a 5% increase in the value of the learning process. It is a certainty to apply this model for French reading comprehension to help learners understand a text well.

Implementation of the Cooperative Integrated Reading and Composition Learning Model to Increase The Interest in Reading of Physical Education Students

“…First, focusing on reading themes according to students' research interests. For example, if (Kamdideh et al, 2019;Sulistianingsih, 2018;Al Adawiyah, 2023). In a similar reference, it also states that the application of CIRC can make students active during the learning and discussion process (Sinaga et al, 2019;Ginting, 2017;Syam et al, 2020).…”

The Efficacy of Mobile-Assisted Language Learning in Improving Learners’ Reading Skills in Relation to Metacognitive Strategy

“…Therefore, for students to achieve proficiency in a foreign language, they must acquire competence in all four of these essential language skills. The act of reading is commonly referred to as repressive ability, as it involves the reception of language and information related to the written material (Al Adawiyah, 2023;Alfatihah & Tyas, 2022). Given the significance of reading skills, improving these skills is crucial.…”

The Presentation-Practice Route to Teach Vocabulary to Young Learners: A Casa Study at International Schools in Uzbekistan

“…These activities include designing learning activities in the form of incidental learning, explicit learning, or independent strategy development in language classes (Higby et al, 2020;Ihsan & Syafitri, 2021). Incidental learning emphasizes providing learners with opportunities for extensive reading and listening to acquire vocabulary as much as possible (Al Adawiyah, 2023;Chen et al, 2022). In incidental learning, the focus is on exposing learners to a variety of texts and spoken language, allowing them to encounter new words in context.…”
