English Abstract

Study Aims: This study aimed at investigating the effectiveness of CSR approach on Palestinian ninth graders' reading comprehension skills, learning English motivation and reading motivation.

Study Approach: To achieve the study aims, the researcher adopted the experimental approach on a sample of (80) female students at Al Toffah Preparatory School which were randomly selected.

The participants were divided into two equivalent groups.

Both groups were pretested to assure that they were equivalent.

The experimental group was taught using CSR while the control one was taught by the traditional method in the second term of the scholastic year 2015-2016.

The experiment lasted for six weeks in which the researcher implemented the study tools to investigate the effect of CSR.

The results were statistically analyzed by SPSS to be compared with the post-test results.

Study Tools: The researcher used 4 instruments to collect data: 1) a questionnaire for teachers to determine the most eight important reading comprehension skills, 2) a pre/post reading comprehension test, 3) an English learning motivation scale, and 4) a reading motivation scale.

Study Results: The results revealed that there were statistically significant differences at (α = 0.01) between the mean scores of the control group and those of the experimental one on the reading comprehension posttest, learning English motivation post application and reading motivation post application of the scale in favor of the experimental group.

This positive result was attributed to the effectiveness of using the CSR.

Study Recommendations: According to the findings, the researcher recommends that the ninth graders' English Language teachers need to activate CSR approach throughout reading in order to develop not only ninth graders' reading comprehension and comprehension skills, but also their motivation towards English language in general and reading in specific.
