The present study, which consists of three chapters, is conducted to investigate the role of prior knowledge activation through previewing for enhancing first year English students' reading comprehension. Our main concern is to uncover the nature of the relationship which joins background knowledge and reading comprehension. We have hypothesised that the activation of first year English learners' prior knowledge of informational texts is likely to foster reading comprehension. To verify the validity of this hypothesis, we have administered a students’ questionnaire which aims at collecting data about their opinions towards reading, reading comprehension difficulties, and background knowledge activation. After, we have conducted a practical exercise in which we wanted to confirm the questionnaire results since we noticed that they were not sufficient. In addition, the practical exercise aims at eliciting further accurate data concerning our tackled strategy. The findings of both the questionnaire and the exercise confirmed the set hypothesis. Through the discussion of the results, it was noticed that pre-existing knowledge of a given topic indeed helps first year students to comprehend the new information related to that topic. Besides, students have shown their tendency for previewing reading materials before getting started with reading for the sake of activating their background knowledge.

Most importantly, it seeks to investigate the effect of having background knowledge of English cultural events on their reading comprehension. As such, the hypothesis of this work stresses that if third year students of English have adequate background knowledge of English cultural events, they will not find difficulties in reading comprehension. To answer the aims and the research hypothesis, we administered a questionnaire and a test to a sample fifty third year students. On the one hand, the questionnaire aims at testing students’ knowledge of culture, estimating their English cultural background knowledge of one particular event, Shrove Tuesday, and identifying their most common reading strategies. On the other hand, the test tends to evaluate the students’ reading comprehension of Shrove Tuesday text, based on their cultural background knowledge. The results obtained reveal that the most common strategies used by learners are re-reading, reading out loud and scanning which helped them to comprehend Shrove Tuesday text without having adequate background knowledge of the event. Their comprehension of the text is due to their appropriate use of the reading strategies that facilitates the task. Accordingly, we disconfirm our hypothesis. Although third year students were able to understand and answer most of the questions correctly, they should read extensively about the English culture in order to gain cultural knowledge and ameliorate their level Diplome : Master 2 Permalink : https://bu.umc.edu.dz/master/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=6829 Investigating the effect of background knowledge of english cultural events on reading comprehension : The case of third year students of english at the university of frères mentouri constantine [texte imprimé] / Khaoula Sadallah, Auteur ; Roumeissa Mammouche, Auteur ; Meriem Mazri, Directeur de thèse . - CONSTANTINE (Route Ain el bey, BP 325, ALGERIE) : Université Frères Mentouri Constantine, 2017 . - 75 f. ; 30 cm.
