The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of utilizing CALL software to enhance students\u2019 basic reading skills in English at an elementary school in Taiwan. The students\u2019 basic reading achievement in this study was measured by the scores on the Basic Early Assessment of Reading (BEAR) tests. The CALL software used in this study was Destination Reading, which is published by the Riverdeep Company. Method. A convenience sample pretest posttest control group design was used to investigate the following research question: Is there a difference in the student\u2019s acquisition of basic reading skills in English between the EFL elementary school students who received the CALL tutoring and those who received the large group face-to-face tutoring? Findings. The experimental group had slightly higher mean difference between the pretest and posttest score (2.39) than the control group. Moreover, the data that was collected and analyzed revealed interesting differences in scores between boys and girls who were in the control and experimental groups. It was found that CALL had a positive effect on the male participant students in this study. There was no evidence to reject the null hypothesis which stated that there was no difference in the basic reading achievement scores on the BEAR tests between the EFL elementary school students who receive the software-based CALL tutoring and those who receive the large group face-to-face tutoring. Therefore, it was concluded that there was no difference in the student\u2019s acquisition of basic reading skills in English, between the EFL elementary school students who receive the CALL tutoring and those who receive the large group face-to-face tutoring." ] } }, { "label": { "en": [ "Classification" ] }, "value": { "none": [ "LA1137.H83 2009" ] } }, { "label": { "en": [ "Publication Date" ] }, "value": { "none": [ "2009" ] } }, { "label": { "en": [ "Genre" ] }, "value": { "none": [ "Academic theses" ] } }, { "label": { "en": [ "Holding Location" ] }, "value": { "none": [ "Barry University Archives and Special Collections" ] } }, { "label": { "en": [ "Resource Identifier" ] }, "value": { "none": [ "LA1137.H83 2009_HuangSzu-Yuan" ] } }, { "label": { "en": [ "Language" ] }, "value": { "none": [ "English" ] } }, { "label": { "en": [ "Permanent Link" ] }, "value": { "none": [ "http://sobekcmsrv.barrynet.barry.edu/AA00001332/00001" ] } }, { "label": { "en": [ "Creator" ] }, "value": { "none": [ "Huang, Szu-Yuan" ] } }, { "label": { "en": [ "Note" ] }, "value": { "none": [ "Thesis (Ph.D.)--Barry University, 2009.", "Includes bibliographical references (leaves 113-128)." ] } }, { "label": { "en": [ "Physical Description" ] }, "value": { "none": [ "xi, 149 leaves : ill., charts ; 28 cm" ] } }, { "label": { "en": [ "Publisher" ] }, "value": { "none": [ "Barry University" ] } }, { "label": { "en": [ "Place of Publication" ] }, "value": { "none": [ "Miami, Fla." ] } }, { "label": { "en": [ "Type" ] }, "value": { "none": [ "Book" ] } }, { "label": { "en": [ "Rights Management" ] }, "value": { "none": [ "Copyright Szu-Yuan Huang.
