The effects of combined shared reading and preview-review methods on students' speaking proficiency (IR)

This experimental research was carried out in an attempt to identify any possible positive effects of two Reading Aloud methods namely Shared Reading (Holdaway, 1979) and Preview-Review (Ulanoff dan Pucci, 1994) on form six students speaking proficiency in English. The selected students were from a...
