Abstract

Reading is the cornerstone of effective learning, forming the foundation for academic success in the classroom. However, achieving meaningful learning outcomes depends heavily on the communicative strategies employed by teachers during reading instruction. This study explored the communicative strategies utilized by teachers in English reading comprehension lessons across selected primary schools in Mubi North Local Government Area, Adamawa State. Through a convenient sampling method, the study engaged seven head teachers and twenty-one teachers, employing two research instruments: a twenty-item, four-point Likert scale questionnaire and a four-item open-ended questionnaire. The findings revealed that teachers predominantly employed constructive communicative strategies to enhance reading comprehension. However, challenges such as overcrowded classrooms and external disruptions hinder optimal teaching and learning processes. The study emphasizes the need for targeted interventions to mitigate these barriers, ensuring a more conducive environment for effective reading instruction.

Abstract

The study examined the extent of excessive reading materials used in selected public and private primary schools in Akure, the capital of Ondo State, Nigeria with a view to determining overloading ESL learners with reading materials and how this affects their learning experiences. The study adopted Cognitive Load Theory and investigated the number of reading materials officially recommended in the curriculum, the actual number used in public and private primary schools, and the influence of material quantity on pupils’ comprehension. A multiple case study design was employed, involving eight headteachers, 113 class teachers, four parents, and eight pupils from selected public and private schools. To collect quantitative data, the study used a validated fifteen-item Likert questionnaire. For the qualitative data, in depth interviews and documents were employed. The results rejected the null hypothesis which said ‘There is no significant difference between the quantity of English textbooks used in public and private primary school’ with t-test results t (98) = 2.152, p<0.05, ŋ2 = 0.045. It means although the recommended textbooks were generally considered adequate, private schools frequently prescribed additional materials beyond government requirements. The thematic analysis of qualitative data showed substantial duplications of contents across textbooks, overloading of children and violation of curriculum policy. Based on the findings, it recommends policy enforcement, culturally relevant textbook selection, and reduced redundancy in instructional materials to promote more effective and developmentally appropriate reading practices.
