“…For independent reading children if facilitated with useful interesting books, then they being highly motivated read far higher level of difficulty, with accuracy (Topping, 2017). Active reading is also very important because an active reader is better than another in proportion as he is capable of a greater range of activity in reading and exerts more effort (Adler & Doren, 1972).…”

However, there is interdependency between students’reading skills and their teachers’ ‘teaching reading strategies’. Hence thefocus of the current study was to evaluate ‘teaching reading’, i.e. phonemicawareness, word recognition, reading fluency and text comprehension, toearly grades by reading teachers. For this purpose, quantitative researchwith survey method was based on field observation was conducted. Selfdeveloped tool i.e. structured observation schedule was used for datacollection. The data was collected through performance checklist, hence amanageable sample, through convenient sampling in the sense ofwillingness to be observed, was selected of primary school Englishteachers (n = 10). Three consecutive observations were conducted of eachparticipant of the study. Descriptive statistics, i.e., frequencies, percentageand mean were used to analyze the collected data. The results of the studyshow that generally the teachers focus on oral expression and meanings ofdifficult words. While majority of them least use ‘teaching readingstrategies recommended for developing phonemic awareness, fluencythrough repeated reading practices among students and the strategieshelpful for text comprehension

“…Adler's call for appreciation of the Great Books was based on democracy's need for an educated citizenry, while Allan Bloom's discussion of the loss of individuality in modern culture tended to attribute decline to the popularisation of Nietzschean nihilism, a precursor of much postmodern philosophy, for which he also blamed the decline of an Enlightenment rationalism that he valorised. 96 By situating Zaytuna within this debate, Yusuf makes himself a partisan of the Enlightenment ideal of education as the pursuit of truth and the school of citizens, against what he takes to be a post-modern Foucauldian equation of truth with power. 97 For Yusuf, like Winter, the Enlightenment represents 'missed opportunity' that needs to be retrieved and re-cast through an Islamic filter.…”

The current study aimed at enhancing online reading speed and motivation of EFL learners through subtitled series as RSVP. For this purpose, 90 learners were divided into three groups: two experimental groups and one control group. The study follows a pre-post experimental mixed-method design. The results were statistically analyzed by using the one-way analysis of variance to compare the mean scores of the reading speed post-tests among groups and the t-test to compare the mean scores of the pre-post reading speed tests. To test online reading motivation, a 38-item questionnaire was prepared. Results revealed no significant differences between the two experimental groups on online reading speed tests and online reading motivation. However, there were significant differences between the pre and post online reading speed tests. A qualitative analysis was used to analyze learners’ attitudes toward using subtitled movies to enhance their online reading speed and motivation. Results showed that majority of students had positive attitudes toward subtitled movies. Accordingly, discussion and interpretation of these results were provided.
