Improve Reading Skills with Audio-Visual Tools

The document introduces an audio-visual modular approach to improve the reading skills of non-readers. It discusses that many Filipinos speak English but some struggle as non-readers. Non-readers have limited vocabularies that prevent them from understanding lessons. The study utilizes a researcher-made module paired with accompanying audio-visual materials to help develop reading, writing, listening and speaking for non-readers. The modular approach has shown success before, and adding video presentations of the same content aims to further ensure the intervention's success.

INTRODUCTION

The Philippines is recognized world-wide as one of the largest


English-speaking countries with majority of its population having
at least some degree of fluency in the language. English has always
been one of the official languages of the Philippines and is spoken
by more than 14 million Filipinos. It is the language of commerce
and law, as well as the primary medium of instruction in education.
(Cabigon, 2016). The English language is the most commonly used
medium of language communication in some learning areas. It is
widely known as the universal language that bridges the gap between
people across the globe to communicate and create relationships.
Therefore, the teaching and learning of the English language is
embedded in the curriculum of the Department of Education since
time immemorial.

In regards to this, it has always been the goal of the teacher


to let their students be able to read and write in the English
language. For a child, reading is the basic tool in learning in
all areas; a skill that helps him understand not only the literal
and visual presentation of the teacher’s everyday lesson but also
the words and ideas conveyed in any reading material. With the
child’s enriched vocabulary in his schema, he is able to correlate
them to the newly – acquired knowledge from worthwhile reading
materials; remarkably, he learns and performs well in the
academics.

On the contrary, non-readers or learners who lack the capacity


to recognize and identify words and sentences. One who struggles
and performs poorly in reading classes. His deficient or limited
vocabulary since early school years may deprive himself of the
good opportunity to comprehend completely and interpret the daily
lessons in all subjects, unable to grasp the message of the texts
and of other reading materials. Consequently, he may not grow
mentally nor even relate to his daily lessons. Because of these,
he may receive poor academic performance or fail in the academics.
Likewise, he or she may lose the enthusiasm to study.

To answer this problem, an intervention must be done to ensure


that non-readers will not be deprived of the learning that they
can gain through reading.

On this study, audio-visual modular approach is utilize; a


researcher-made module counter parted by an audio-visual tool to
help improve the reading skills of non-readers. A module is a book
or workbook of reference made by teachers or experts to fit the
unique needs and interests of their students and aims at the
comprehensive development of reading, writing, listening and
speaking. Even though that the impact of the modular approach had
showed positive results in previous researches, in this study it
had been modified and added with a video presentation which the
content is the same as what is written in the module. The video
presentation will add more assurance that this intervention will
succeed when implemented properly.
