Introduction:
Vocabulary is a fundamental component in achieving language proficiency. This
research study aims to investigate the extent and the effectiveness which English Remedial
Instruction expands one's vocabulary. It also highlighted some factors that causes difficulties
for the teachers to teach low-achiever children.
The intervention procedure for the study was an 8-week remedial instruction course
that used a range of teaching theory-based activities. The Ministry of Education Malaysia Form
3 English Textbook Word List provided the vocabulary for the study, which mostly included
words that students would encounter on a regular basis. Moreover, 30 pupils (experimental)
from low- achieving class underwent English Remedial while the other 30 pupils (controlled)
learned using the conventional chalk-and-talk method.
During the 8-week study, remedial instruction increased the low-achieving students'
vocabulary proficiency in English. Richards (2015) stated that remedial instruction is intended
for children who have recognized reading, writing, and math deficiencies. Teaching theories
like Stephen Krashen (1989) Affective Filter Hypotheses, Howard Gardner’s (2011) Multiple
Intelligences, and etc., are integrated in any type of remedial instruction as it focuses on
children’s development.
The result of the study is useful, especially as it gives feedback to educational
institutions or persons in authority to adopt remedial instruction in all schools. It will help the
students to be proficient with the English language, like in grammar and vocabulary. Further,
remedial instruction in English would be a great avenue to improve the students’
comprehension, communication, and writing skills, which will lead to greater academic
success.
Finally, this study has the quality to give helpful insights on the benefits of remedial
instruction in building vocabulary. With the proper implementation and sufficient teaching
materials it would surely help improve the academic performances of the students in English.
Summary Analysis: This study investigates the efficacy of remedial instruction in English and
it revealed results that it has improved the vocabulary of those low performing students
(experimental) who underwent the ER. Most importantly, it aims to suggest an idea to policy
makers to adopt remedial instruction and provide workshops and trainings for the teachers in
fostering a more interactive and interesting learning experience.

extensive reading with remedial students in a Philippines secondary school. International
Journal of Educational Research, 35, 217-225.
Introduction:
The study seeks to measure the efficacy of extensive reading with remedial reading
students in a Philippines secondary school. Extensive reading is an approach in teaching
wherein learners independently read various materials that are easy and interesting (Day &
Bamford,1998; Bamford & Day, 2010). The study also highlighted some teacher’s techniques
in improving the reading skills of the students.
The participants of the study are students at a public secondary school on the island
of Mindanao. The study was conducted for a span of 6 months where 60 first-year students
underwent through remedial reading. The teachers immersed the students in 40-minutes
regular English class plus 40-minutes extensive remedial reading which integrates teaching
in a conventional way like how to sound vowel and consonants, recite poems, and etc.
In the study, it was found out that extensive remedial reading has a significant impact
on the reading proficiency of the students. The teachers should make use of techniques that
will encourage the students to read more. This in turn will improve their reading skills and can
help to increase their proficiency in the English language. Among these techniques mentioned
in the study are: reading aloud so that the students could follow, tracking the students’ progress
in ER, and give brief summaries on the reading materials.
Methods used in this study can be applied in other schools especially in implementing
remedial reading instruction. As remedial reading programs are important for students, it is still
important to note that teacher’s strategies are still crucial to activate the interest of these
learners to succeed in their academic performances. Remedial programs should always
include post activities like answering high-order thinking questions.
Summary Analysis: This study aims to measure the effectivity of extensive reading and it
revealed that with appropriate teacher’s methods, ER could improve the reading skills of the
learners. Extensive remedial reading can extend beyond improving reading skills as it will lead
to long-term academic success.

This study sought to improve the reading skills of a fifth-grade student who had no
physical or mental health issues but was having reading problems or deficiency in reading.
Akyol (2016) asserted that someone who struggles to apply previous knowledge to the reading
situation is considered a poor reader. A combination of effective strategies and supportive
learning environment is crucial to aid this reading deficiencies.
The study used action research model in which “Word Repetition Method”, "Meaning
Analysis”, "Word Map" as well as techniques from the "Vocabulary Notebook" were applied to
improve word reading fluency. Repeated and paired reading were also integrated to carry out
fluency in reading text. These types of techniques are useful for students who are just starting
to learn to read, and may be adjusted to meet the needs and interests of individual pupils.
The results revealed that the student from the second-grade instructional level,
advanced to the fourth-grade instructional level. The content application of remedial reading
instruction involves using resources and approaches that are tailored to the needs of pupils
who are having difficulty reading. Overall, this means that the remedial strategies conducted
was effective, resulting to the development of student’s reading skills.
In conclusion, this study aims to promote the importance of fluency in reading in order
to attain reading comprehension. This suggests to teachers that they should practice the
fluency of the learners in reading in order to encourage their comprehension, effective
learning, vocabulary growth, and a lifelong love of reading. This will result to more academic
success and personal development.

fluency in reading. The test results revealed that the student has moved to the instructional
level for fourth grade which means there is improvement in his performance. Reading abilities
