Enhancement of Oral Reading Comprehension of Grade 10 Frustration Readers through Suggestopedia

Abstract

INTRODUCTION

The main objective of this study is to find out the empirical effectiveness of Suggestopedia, a humanistic teaching method, in the oral reading comprehension level of Grade 10 frustration students using the Quasi-Experimental Research Design.

METHODS

The subjects are the frustration Grade-10 students of New Society National High School, General Santos City. The experimental group is exposed to Suggestopedic reading sessions and the control group was subjected to the traditional method. The data were collected by conducting pretest and posttest using the Basic Reading Inventory. Mean and t -test were used to statistically identify the difference of the mean scores.

RESULTS

Pretest results show that there is no significant difference between the mean scores of the experimental and control group. However, after the conduct of the intervention, data revealed that there is significant difference between the posttest mean scores of the experimental and control group. The experimental group showed a higher or twice the mean score of the control group. The experimental group improved to instructional from frustration level while the control group remained in the frustration level in oral reading comprehension.

DISCUSSIONS

Therefore, the researcher concluded that Suggestopedia is significantly effective in enhancing the oral reading comprehension level of the students.
