| Abstract : Perpustakaan Tuanku Bainun |
| The aim of this investigation is to study how think-aloud protocols are used in a Form Four reading
comprehension class. It is to see how students use appropriate strategies to enhance their reading
comprehension. Three participants, from a Form 4 class are selected. They are then exposed to
think-loud protocols. Each of them is given an appropriate passage of the same level to read. They
are then asked to read and think at the same time. This is to see how they verbalize their thoughts
and feelings. This session is audio-taped and the data transcribed. These participants are then
asked to retell through delayed retelling what they have understood from the passage. Later they
are interviewed by the researcher.
Based on the data collected, this think-aloud protocols provides information on reading strategies.
Also, based on the information obtained, participants use reading strategies to have a better
understanding of the passage. Therefore by making them aware of this type of strategies that good
readers engage in when they read a passage, we are providing the students an opportunity to become
aware of the many strategies that good readers use in comprehending a passage.
