Does Group Re-Group Strategies Impact on Students’ Texts Interpretation?

Abstract

The main pursuit of the present paper is to examine the impact of group re-group strategies on students' texts interpretation. The focus of this study is on the use of two cooperative strategies in empowering learners to become effective readers.Using a pretest and posttest control group design through the reading comprehension test, the researcher tested the effect of the group re-group strategies on learners' ability to interpret texts. The result showed that there was significant impact of the Reciprocal Teaching Strategies (RTS) on students' text processing than the Think-Pair -Share Strategy and the conventional method of teaching reading in schools. The impact of the RTS was also noticed on students' level of interpretation which was closely followed by the TPSS. None of the strategy impacted on male or female students' text interpretation.
